With the shift from a predominately instructivist to constructivist pedagogy the need for
tertiary educators to use a variety of teaching strategies and methods is becoming increasingly
important. Learning designs need to incorporate student-centred team based learning pedagogy
such as project-based, case-based, inquiry-based and problem-based scenarios (Oliver, 2001).
Students need to be immersed in learning environments that promote real learning in real
contexts. Teams and teamwork help to promote deep learning that occurs through interaction,
problem solving, dialogue, cooperation and collaboration
