RESOURCE: Gathering Evidence that Flipping the Classroom can Enhance Learning Outcomes | Emerging Education Technology

Three universities provide empirical evidence supporting the potential for ‘the flip’ to make a measurable difference in engagement and learning. As an advocate of the potential of the flipped classroom, it’s rewarding and encouraging when student and teacher feedback supports the benefits of this approach, and this happens quite often. However,

ABSTRACT: The use of personal digital assistants in clinical decision making by health care professionals: A systematic review

Abstract: Ownership of personal digital assistants PDAs and smartphones by health professionals is increasingly common. Providing the best available evidence at the point of care is important for time-poor clinical staff and may lead to benefits in the processes and outcomes of clinical care. This review was performed to investigate the

MANUSCRIPT: Advancing Teaching and Learning In Medical Education Through The Use of Concept Maps

Abstract. The purpose of this study was to investigate the ways in which the use of concept maps influenced the learning processes of third year internal medicine students in the context of medical education. Sixty-three students were taught to use concept mapping as a learning strategy at the beginning of their internal

MANUSCRIPT: The Theory Underlying Concept Maps and How To Construct Them

Concept maps are tools for organizing and representing knowledge. They include concepts, usually enclosed in circles or boxes of some type, and relationships between concepts or propositions, indicated by a connecting line between two concepts. Words on the line specify the relationship between the two concepts. We define concept as a perceived

RESOURCE: Group work advice for MOOC providers

The most valuable aspect of MOOCs is that the large number of learners enables the formation of sub-networks based on interested, geography, language, or some other attribute that draws individuals together. With 20 students in a class, limited options exist for forming sub-networks. When you have 5,000 students, new configurations

RESOURCE: Then and Now: Education Technology in 1963 vs 2013 | EdTech Magazine

John F. Kennedy made a strong push for education reform focused on science and technology during his presidency. His enthusiasm for STEM education was fueled, in part, by the Soviet Union’s 1957 launch of Sputnik. When Lyndon B. Johnson was sworn in hours after Kennedy’s death he maintained the momentum behind Kennedy's

ABSTRACT: Developing a national collaborative of medical educators who lead clinical skills courses.

Abstract BACKGROUND: The majority of US medical schools now have pre-clerkship clinical skills (PCCS) courses. Course directors for these often logistically complicated courses may be in different medical specialties and, historically, have had few formal opportunities for communication and collaboration with their counterparts at other institutions. As such, we hypothesized that leaders

ABSTRACT: Assessing the academic and professional needs of trauma nurse practitioners and physician assistants

Abstract Because of multiple changes in the health care environment, the use of services of physician assistants (PAs) and nurse practitioners (NPs) in trauma and critical care has expanded. Appropriate training and ongoing professional development for these providers are essential to optimize clinical outcomes. This study offers a baseline assessment of

MANUSCRIPT: Improvement in Generic Problem-Solving Abilities of Students by Use of Tutor-less Problem-Based Learning in a Large Classroom Setting.

Abstract Problem-based learning (PBL) was originally introduced in medical education programs as a form of small-group learning, but its use has now spread to large undergraduate classrooms in various other disciplines. Introduction of new teaching techniques, including PBL-based methods, needs to be justified by demonstrating the benefits of such techniques over

MANUSCRIPT: Concept mapping enhances learning of biochemistry.

Abstract Background: Teaching basic science courses is challenging in undergraduate medical education because of the ubiquitous use of didactic lectures and reward for recall of factual information during examinations. The purpose of this study is to introduce concept maps with clinical cases (the innovative program) to improve learning of biochemistry course
