Presentations:
1. Simulations, simulators & Zoom! - Discuss feasibility, utility, strengths and weaknesses from our experience with delivery of medical simulation remotely using online (free) simulator software (vital signs monitor, ventilator simulator, etc.). Presenter: Safdar Ansari
2. The use of a class Twitter account to stimulate engagement using trivia questions - In this session we will discuss the strategy that we applied in MS2024 Host and Defense to make up for the lack of daily student-instructor interaction as a result of remote learning. We chose to engage students using Twitter and created a course-specific Twitter account. We had 50 people, mostly students, but some faculty, follow the account. We used the automation capabilities of Twitter to release a course-related trivia question Monday through Friday for the duration of the course, with the answer released the day after the question was posed. We understood that this approach did not reach the entire class, so we also embedded every Tweet in Canvas during our daily announcement. The profile averaged over 2000 visits a month, and the Tweets were seen by users an average of 10,000 times a month. We promoted the account by promising prizes for the students with most engagement, and during the last week of the course, we awarded three prizes. Presenters: Adrienne Carey and Karen Eilbeck
3. Taking a scholarly approach to education - This session will discuss the distinction between taking a scholarly approach to education and producing educational scholarship. We will discuss Glassick's criteria for scholarship as well as Boyer's 4 types of scholarship and provide examples of each. Presenters: Jorie Colbert-Getz, Candace Chow, and Kerri Shaffer
