TECHNOLOGY ENHANCED LEARNING / ELEARNING & SIMULATIONS
EXPLORE: How to use these eLearning modules to enhance student learning
MINISIMS
Short patient-based scenarios designed to help students apply and interpret learned knowledge in a simulated clinical environment. Typically 5-10 minutes long, and multiple-choice, matching-based items.
MICROLEARNING
Simple, short, and easily deployed. These mini-assessments help the students draw on the knowledge they have acquired and can be used as quizzes or exam preparation.
MACROLEARNING
Typically broken into several “chapters” consistent with the components of an evaluation or treatment sessions, and often used as homework or pre-work. Students will be able to synthesize and apply content that they have already been exposed to.
APP TUTORIAL: POSTURE
Designed to help students further develop their reasoning skills after they have learned the basics related to posture. Simple clinical scenarios have been created so that students can link postural faults to possible impairments of body structure and function. These impairments are then logically connected to interventions, with sample videos (of the techniques) so that students can connect the dots to techniques that they may not yet have learned. These sims are relatively simple and formative in nature.
