Class group quiz
“In one class we had an activity where everyone signed into a
website and the class had to get into groups and answer the
questions, the results were then shown on the whiteboard in
the room. It was unique, educational and fun.”

Digital skills
“The use of digital equipment to measure our heart rates
and the electrical response of muscles to different
stimulus in our physiology classes this semester was very
helpful,
not only to understand the concepts discussed in the
lectures but also to make us familiar with equipment we
might use in the future and some technical difficulties we
might encounter.”
