A New Generation
• Old Schoolvs.• Old School +- Is the format useful for them?- Are we keeping them interested?- Is it easy/practical for us?
4
Board-Review
• Started with- Rosen’s reading assignments- CORD tests- Paper tests
5
Paper Tests: Challenges
• Poor image quality• Lack of immediate feedback• Need independent motivation to learn about
incorrect answers• “Active” participation in test review?• “It’s a test!”
6
3-tier approach
• Reading assignments
• In-classroom audience-response system based testing
• Online makeup/remediation
7
Audience-Response System
• Turning Technologies: ResponseCard XR- $50/resident- Individually assigned to each resident
• Test presented using slides- 20 questions - Standardized sources
8
The Mechanics
• TurningPoint Anywhere software- Mac/Windows- Overlay – not program dependent- LMS integration (Moodle, Blackboard, Sakai...)
- Demo...

Does it work?
• Maintains interest for a new generation of learners
• Immediate feedback/discussion/reinforcement
• Automate several tasks• Regular monitoring = early intervention• Still support independent learning• Treat residents like “adults”
33
Does it work?
• 80% of residents find it “very useful”!
