Given the positive feedback from both learners and the educator, as well as the ongoing nature of QI work, the ungraded approach will be continued in future iterations of the course. Future efforts will focus on gathering more formal outcomes, further evaluating the feasibility of the ungrading approach in DPT education, and investigating its use to develop Master Adaptive Learner skills.

Abstract

Given the positive feedback from both learners and the educator, as well as the ongoing nature of QI work, the ungraded approach will be continued in future iterations of the course. Future efforts will focus on gathering more formal outcomes, further evaluating the feasibility of the ungrading approach in DPT education, and investigating its use to develop Master Adaptive Learner skills.
