Description
Sandra McKeown, Angélique Roy, and Wilma Hopman compare two ways of teaching graduate students to search the medical literature. One is a live classroom session. The other is a narrated video students could watch on their own schedule. Libraries need to know whether recorded teaching can replace the classroom without losing learning.
In a small study in a translational medicine course, students were assigned by chance to one format or the other and tested before and after. Both groups learned, and the classroom group's scores rose a bit more, though not by a margin chance could not explain. Video students rated the pace, clarity, and their own confidence higher. What students valued most was freedom to train on their own timetable. The authors note making the video took far longer than teaching live.
