Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To implement and assess the effectiveness of a hybrid learning model using advanced screencasting with embedded assessments in pathophysiology and therapeutics modules. DESIGN: Two pathophysiology and therapeutics course modules on viral hepatitis and the clinical pharmacokinetics of aminoglycosides were chosen for study. The preclass portion of the hybrid model involved student completion of interactive e-lectures that were created with the use of advanced screencasting and included embedded assessments. Students viewed the e-lectures and completed the assessment questions prior to in-class lecture. ASSESSMENT: Preimplementation and postimplementation test scores were compared and student survey data were analyzed. Test scores improved significantly and students' perceptions of the learning method were favorable. Test scores improved most significantly on higher-level Bloom's taxonomy questions. CONCLUSION: A hybrid model that used advanced screencasting with embedded assessments offered a novel method to afford students active-learning opportunities to progress to higher cognitive domains of learning.
