## Teaching Innovation Award (TIA)
#### Dr Michael George BOTELHO
Faculty of Dentistry
Recently I have extended the Communal Consultation videos to\
include the capturing of clinical competency skills assessments or Key\
Skills. These recordings reveal the dialogic exchange of students’ case\
presentation before the skill performance and afterwards during their\
self-evaluation. Students have found these invaluable in preparation\
for the competency test in opening the black box of assessment and\
in highlighting assessment standards through the use of exemplars.\
