Interprofessional E-Learning and Collaborative Work: Practices and Technologies

Interprofessionalism, an emerging model and philosophy of multi-disciplinary and multi-agency working, has increasingly become an important means of cultivating joint endeavors across varied and diverse disciplinary and institutional settings. This book is an important source for understanding how interprofessionalism can be promoted and enhanced at various levels in learners' educational experiences, particularly with regard to e-learning and reusable learning objects, given the potential to cross boundaries of time, location and academic disciplines. It provides relevant theoretical frameworks and the latest case driven research findings to improve understanding of interprofessional possibilities through e-learning at the level of universities, networks and organizations, teams and work groups, information systems and at the level of individuals as actors in the networked environments
