Thank you very much for your feedback. As a result of the high failure rate, I heard that the students who took the course in the following year apparently did very well, and the success rate was […]

I plan to give it to our next set of students as a pre-run before their Holter monitoring component of their clincal.

Best wishes to you.

Best wishes to you.

Thanks for your feedback! It has been another great semester with our discussions and posts.

Wishing you all the best!

Thank you for your comments! I also enjoyed your posts and collaborating with you.

Thank you for your comments. A long time ago, I heard the phrase, “Sometimes, less is more.” With multimedia and what Paul mentioned, learners can get overwhelmed if there is just too […]

I agree. Within each chamber and atria are valves, trebeculae and other distinct features that the activity would be overwhelming by having a lot of “+” signs. Keeping it simple helps to emphasize […]

Thank you for your comments and for answering our discussion questions!

PowToon really is a neat tool. It has been out since 2012, but like yourself, Ryan, and me, we recently learned that PowToon […]

Yes, Keith mentioned the same about having a tripod. It would certainly help address the unwanted background noise and also have a more steady recording.

Thanks for the advice!

Rolly

Yes, that was my intent as a lead in for the 2nd activity.

Good question about assessments. I did not include a rubric for the activity but, due to the complexity, I would want to assess […]

Thanks for the tip! I should include both the OpenShot and ShotCut tutorial links as some students may not be entirely proficient at using them. Both OpenShot and ShotCut are free software programs […]

Regarding the screencast, I was trying to increase the window but it comes as a default size. Good point on reminding viewers […]

Thanks again,

You are right. I could have done the VTach as one activity showing an ECG and corresponding video, and do the same for VFib. I felt that keeping images in one activity and keeping videos in another […]

I appreciate your feedback. I was contemplating on using a real patient for the videos but I thought that for this context, a monitor and mannequin would suffice. Even now, I have students who are […]

Thanks for your feedback. I incorporated music in the middle of the narration to break up the major topics: 1. Chambers; 2. Shape and Size. In some podcasts that I have heard, this has been done. […]

Thanks for your feedback! I am happy that the steps worked for you.

Thank you for your feedback!

Good point about the volume and adjustments. After, we were introduced to Audacity, there is an effect called a Compressor. This allows to balance sound, making […]

Thank you for your comments! Yes, Pixelshell is resourceful. It can sometimes be difficult searching for copyright free audio files, particularly specific types for different educational […]

I have found shorter recording times on regular rhythms would be sufficient. For abnormal atrial or ventricular arrhythmias, a longer time is beneficial to listen for any patterns (bigem/trigem or […]

Thank you for your comments! It certainly helps that our Cardiovascular system produces sound!

Thank you for the suggestion! I agree that UDL and accessibility as a criterion by itself is too broad and should be specified.

Much appreciated!

Rolly

Excellent suggestion about including examples of media to choose from. The options can be overwhelming without any guidance there.

Thanks!
Rolly

Thank you for your feedback! I agree that the color scheme for that #2 could be improved. Something I need to keep in mind and adjust accordingly.

Thank you for your feedback. You made a great suggestion about the flow. I had the choice of going top to bottom or left to right. This was a template that Easel.ly provided as part of having a […]

Thank you for your feedback! Yes, I agree that it took some time to organize the information and remove extraneous ones.

For an activity like this, it would be good to add images and side notes […]

Thanks for your feedback! Yes, we had a similar approach. I like how you added images on the right with additional boxed side notes. I think these are great to implement and adds depth to the […]

Your instructional activity and presentation is fantastic. I liked how you used the Wix site to host your presentation. I can see there are many benefits with this platform. I like how you have menu bars on the left, including a chat box that learners can click on, on the bottom right! That one reminds me of websites from…[Read more]

Thanks for sharing your experience with the simulation activity.

I found that when I got buy-in from the principal, it made it easier when I was doing site visits. I did a few site visits with staff who were still in the interested column, and quickly got them to the adopted side. Also, I found that performing presentations and…[Read more]

Great presentation and blog! I like how you explained the concept of the flipped classroom. It was easy to comprehend. The flipped classroom concept allows your EFL students to prepare in advance and it personalizes the learning (MediaCore, 2012). As an educator, you would be able to spend effective time with you…[Read more]

You have identified a variety of educational resources that would benefit in teaching the English language in a remote setting. It is a challenging endeavour, but by using applications and Video resources you mentioned would aid in a successful learning experience.

We had similar choices of tools with utilizing Google suite…[Read more]
