Learning Objectives
• Differentiate between best practices for
content delivery methods appropriate for
noon conferences, mini-teaching sessions,
and micro-teaching.
• Explain how differences in PowerPoint design
impact retention of information.
• Determine how observing others deliver
content is an potential alternative to
evaluations.

12 Principles of Multimedia Learning:
Coherence
Learning Objectives
• You will be able to connect and
log in to Epic.
• You will be able to enter patient
information into Epic.

Avoid extraneous words, pictures and sounds – less is more!
12 Principles of Multimedia Learning:
Spatial Contiguity

Place corresponding words near each other rather than
away from each other

Delivery
22
Facilitation (aka Delivery)
• Noon conferences
• Mini-teaching
• Micro-teaching
How are these different to you?
23
24
Facilitation (aka Delivery)
• Debrief and feedback
• Near-peer role modeling
• Self-reflection
25
26
Self-reflection is a humbling
process. It’s essential to find out
why you think, say, and do certain
things…and then better yourself.
Self-Directed Learning
• LCME Element 6.3
• How do learners view themselves as learners?
• Are there demands on a learning situation that influence the capacity
for self-direction?
• As learners master subjects, the capacity to be self-directed is
enhanced
• Situated learning – learning is inseparable from situations where
knowledge is used
• Knowledge is socially constructed
• Knowledge is dependent on context for meaning
27
Facilitation (aka Delivery):
Keys to asking effective questions
• Ask one question at a time
• Wait 3 seconds before and after the student answers
• Stay neutral until after the student has explained the answer
• Use higher-order, open-ended questions
• Create a safe environment that permits students to answer
incorrectly or to guess
How do you ask questions?
How do you deal with clear gaps in knowledge?

Facilitation (aka Delivery): Consultation Room
• Consultation Room Training
• Cognitive constructivism
• Gagne (1985) says:
• Cognitive phase: consciously develop a routine with cues from facilitator
• Associative phase: deliberate practice to integrate component parts.
• Autonomous phase: skill automatic to enable cognitive activity
• Ask students how they would like to run the session – it’s
really their time to learn.

  • #5 What is one thing in your daily interaction with health professions colleagues that is the most challenging for you? https://www.polleverywhere.com/free_text_polls/Z15Q3zGThWfTonz
  • #9 Traditional method of design of any instruction (instructor centered) Choose textbook Write syllabus Write/Revise lectures Prepare PowerPoint slides Write exam / problem sets Backward design (student centered) Formulate broad learning goals Set specific learning objectives Design assessments (formative and summative) Develop learning activities (lectures, etc.)

  • #13 Font / shadows
  • #14 Good – scaffolding / spiral
  • #15 Too much text!
  • #16 Color Text size
  • #17 Font and use of Bold
  • #18 Richard Mayers ‘contiguity principle’ Slide numbers
  • #24 What types of feedback do they get? What do they do with that information?
  • #25 Safe, effective intercollegial communication in health care requires a sophisticated skill set that encompasses relationship building, argument structuring, clinical synthesis, cultural competency, and professionalism.
  • #26 Reflection is one of the most important parts of the learning process. Reflection on learning experiences allows students to formulate and refine clinical concepts. This part of the learning process also gives additional opportunities for giving and receiving constructive feedback.
  • #27 Reflection-in-action Reframing and reworking the problem from different perspectives Establishing where the problem fits into learned schema – already existing knowledge and expertise Understanding the elements and implications present in the problem, its solution, and consequences Reflection-on-action Process of thinking back on what has happed in the situation to determine what may have contributed to the unexpected, and how this situation might affect future practice. Schon There is a dynamic relationship between reflective practice and self-assessment. The ability to self-assess depends on the ability to reflect accurately on one’s practice and the ability to reflect effectively relies on accurate self-assessment.
  • #30 From Dent: Cognitive constructivism is a useful approach to developing expertise in consultation skills. This builds on prior knowledge and experience and enables the event to be linked to existing experience in the cognitive, psychomotor, and affective domains.
  • #31 S: Set the foundation or prior learning, the importance of the skill and the context in which it will be learned and applied. T: Tutor demonstration in real time without commentary E: Explanation with repeat demonstration P: Practice under supervision with feedback from peer and tutor. S: Subsequent deliberate practice encouraged (Dent)
