01 / DIGITAL FOUNDATION
Building the foundations for clinical learning.
The first stage of S.T.E.P. combines two complementary forms of digital learning: a structured MOOC that builds a shared conceptual framework, and MOCARPs, a mobile learning resource that helps students retrieve and apply key knowledge when and where it is needed.
Together, they provide the cognitive foundation for later immersive and simulation-based learning.
01A / MOOC
Build the framework.
The MOOC provides a structured starting point for the learning journey, helping students build a shared foundation in clinical management, interprofessional collaboration and communication.
It creates a clear framework that students can draw on in later clinical learning.
01B / MOCARPs
Access knowledge at the point of need.
MOCARPs extends this foundation through mobile, on-demand access to key clinical information and practical prompts.
It supports quick retrieval, revision and application across classroom, simulation and placement settings.
HOW STUDENTS LEARN
Two tools. Two different purposes. One foundation.
01 — Structure
MOOC
Organises essential concepts into a coherent framework and establishes a shared foundation for learning.
02 — Retrieve
MOCARPs
Makes key information readily available for preparation, revision and learning close to the point of practice.
03 — Transfer
Together
Help students move from understanding knowledge to retrieving and using it in increasingly authentic clinical contexts.
KEY FEATURES
Designed for flexible, connected learning.
Self-directed learning
Students can learn, revisit and consolidate key concepts at their own pace.
Knowledge organisation
The MOOC provides structure while MOCARPs helps students retrieve key information efficiently.
Learning across contexts
Digital resources support study before classes, simulation activities and clinical placements.
Preparation for application
Both tools prepare students for the more authentic and complex stages that follow.
