Editor's Notes
- What do I mean? I mean that adopting technology is more complex than purchasing software or hardware. It’s more complicated than integrating it into the curriculum. It’s more complicated than offering faculty development. Let’s take an example from the GIR listserv.
- Let’s look at an example in practice.
- This cycle is not surprising, because….
- This cycle is not surprising, because….
- This cycle is not surprising, because….
- Third cycle is: Refresh the technology – newer, better services & features; What do we do to expire content? Download, stream or live stream?
- You’ll see that many of the technology issues are reflected within the J-curve: at first, we make lecture capture work; we then maximize performance & reliability; we look at new providers or options to reduce costs….and then we’re on to a mature innovation that needs content refresh and other administrative issues. But this curve doesn’t explain the human factor! The human factor is this: (next slide)
- ASSUMING ALL THINGS STABLE WITH CURRICULUM, ASSESSMENT, and BUDGET, other factors:
- Within faculty development, there are evidence-based ways to
- Many people say that students will change…but have all of them? I would encounter 5% of the class would find me and admit they don’t know how to use the learning management system, or their laptop.
- Digital tools – does it work better than regular lecturing? NO – the point is HOW you teach?
- Dell Medical school’s alignment of Firecracker with the curriculum – firecracker is a VEHICLE for Dell to prepare learners for Step 1, not the outcome in and of itself
- Firecracker MIGHT change learning outcomes – b/c it was specifically designed to do that
- Firecracker is somewhere between modification – doing spaced testing & drill & practice, but also redefinition – the learner dashboard and predictive algorithm is giving learners feedback in a more timely and in-depth manner than our medical schools currently are
