593 Increasing access to basic team science concepts through asynchronous online modules: Team science 101

Objectives/Goals: Team science (TS) competency is important for translational science team collaboration. However, there are few educators available to assist teams. Asynchronous learning is an effective strategy for delivering TS content. The goal of this project is to expand TS education by providing online access to our learners using online modules. Methods/Study Population: The Collaboration and Team Science (CaTS) team at the University of Cincinnati provides a robust TS education and training program. As the need for team science gains recognition, CaTS has received increased requests for services, leading to a need to broaden TS offerings. To address this demand, the CaTS team created “Team Science 101,” an online, asynchronous, series of 15 modules covering basic team science concepts. Each module consists of an educational recording lasting an average of 20 minutes, optional topic resources, pre- and post-module surveys assessing learners’ confidence and satisfaction, post-module knowledge checks, and evaluation questions. Upon completing all modules, participants receive a completion certificate. Results/Anticipated Results: TS 101 will be piloted with a group of participants who expressed interest in asynchronous TS content and will be adjusted based on the feedback received. The associated pre- and post-module survey, post-module knowledge check, and evaluation questions will be monitored to determine learning levels and improve TS 101 overall. Canvas is the educational platform that houses these modules, allowing for participant follow-up and scalable dissemination. The CaTS team plans to disseminate TS 101 nationally and internationally for anyone interested in this resource. Discussion/Significance of Impact: There is a national effort to collect and curate TS education, training, and toolkits. TS 101 will be a useful educational tool that will expand the reach of team science educators, provide the foundation for educators to explore topics more deeply by building on the module topics, and provide education to broader audiences who lack access to TS experts.

Abstract

Objectives/Goals: Team science (TS) competency is important for translational science team collaboration. However, there are few educators available to assist teams. Asynchronous learning is an effective strategy for delivering TS content. The goal of this project is to expand TS education by providing online access to our learners using online modules. Methods/Study Population: The Collaboration and Team Science (CaTS) team at the University of Cincinnati provides a robust TS education and training program. As the need for team science gains recognition, CaTS has received increased requests for services, leading to a need to broaden TS offerings. To address this demand, the CaTS team created “Team Science 101,” an online, asynchronous, series of 15 modules covering basic team science concepts. Each module consists of an educational recording lasting an average of 20 minutes, optional topic resources, pre- and post-module surveys assessing learners’ confidence and satisfaction, post-module knowledge checks, and evaluation questions. Upon completing all modules, participants receive a completion certificate. Results/Anticipated Results: TS 101 will be piloted with a group of participants who expressed interest in asynchronous TS content and will be adjusted based on the feedback received. The associated pre- and post-module survey, post-module knowledge check, and evaluation questions will be monitored to determine learning levels and improve TS 101 overall. Canvas is the educational platform that houses these modules, allowing for participant follow-up and scalable dissemination. The CaTS team plans to disseminate TS 101 nationally and internationally for anyone interested in this resource. Discussion/Significance of Impact: There is a national effort to collect and curate TS education, training, and toolkits. TS 101 will be a useful educational tool that will expand the reach of team science educators, provide the foundation for educators to explore topics more deeply by building on the module topics, and provide education to broader audiences who lack access to TS experts.
