PPS 969: Patient Care Lab VI
• 2-credit required course • Third-year Pharmacy Students • Class size 130-140 • Lab discussion/recitation • 4 lab sections • Course Objectives Include:
– Patient care skills – Critical thinking skills – Written communication skills – Professionalism – Lifelong learning skills
How we used LectureTools
• Lab Discussion – Student readiness, understanding, application of
knowledge • Multiple choice • Short answer
– Facilitate “flipped classroom” team projects • Short answer; results hidden until end of class
Use Within Lab Sections
Track/monitor individual contribution/knowledge on team or individual projects
Faculty/Instructor Perceptions • Pros
– Short answer questions -Individual student responses during lab
– Variety of interactive slides • Multiple choice • Short answer • Ordered list • Image quiz • Numerical response • Multimedia
– Student inquiry tool (no students used)
• Cons – Design inefficiencies
• PowerPoint slides static • Placeholders for interactive
slides during • Cannot see entire slide
– Multiple duplicate lectures needed for lab section use
– Students requested PP and LT formats to be posted
Student Assessment of LectureTools
• Student focus group – General feedback, ease of use – Lessons learned/suggestions
• End-of-semester questions on CoursEval – Perceptions of engagement, attentiveness,
distraction, interaction – Preference versus TurningPoint
Student Focus Group • Pros
– Liked a different format – Enjoyed short answer
• Think/apply more when they have to write
– Feel more accountable for paying attention
– iPad app easy to navigate
• Cons – Note-taking not as easy – Did not like print formats
(excessive paper) – Must be connected to
Internet to study – Ended up with 2 logins (1-
Bb and 1-LT) – iPad users
• note-taking was “awful” compared to Notability
• Delay when unhiding slide • Did not get all “ordered
list” options
Posted PP version in addition to LT; Some students took notes in PP and toggled to LT for interactive slides
End-of-Semester CourseEval - Spring 2014 Overall response rate = 100/130 (76.9%)
My attentiveness in class increased when LectureTools was used

Additional Comment - Themes (N = 33/100)
• Positive Comments:
• Response system allowed for open-ended answers and allowed students to express their opinions and answers better
• Encouraged more class participation in responses.
• Good for supplementary lectures to apply what was taught but not actually teach the topic.
• Use in lab allowed students to answer at their own pace
• Use in lab was more helpful than in lab discussion.
• Negative Comments:
• Online notes not accessible unless you have access to the internet.
• Students prefer not having notes in multiple programs (PowerPoint and lecture tools).
• Students who printed the notes from Lecture Tools had trouble formatting them to their liking as sometimes it was hard to read.
• Lecture tools doesn’t show up or work correctly on iPad devices.
• Students want to have a version of “offline notes”.
Summary
• Increased in-class (lecture) participation • Nice tool to facilitate individual responses
and stimulate group discussion
• Enhancements would improve efficiency: – Design elements cumbersome for lecturer – Note-taking/printing for students – iPad use
