Embedding audience response strategies to increase active learning in a veterinary curriculum
Background

As part of a major review of the veterinary curriculum, one challenge was making large group teaching more interactive and student centred. A project was undertaken to embed the use of an audience response system (TurningPoint) throughout the curriculum and foster best practice.

Summary of Work

Summary of Results

Widespread academic uptake has increased opportunities for active learning and resulted in perceived student benefits.  Students have adopted TurningPoint for project work, research and extra-curricular activities.

Conclusion

Use of TurningPoint is now embedded throughout the curriculum, and feedback indicates a positive impact for students.  The combination of strategic staff development and the student handset loan was critical, as it overcame barriers to use and motivated staff to explore new student centred approaches to teaching.

Background
Summary of Work

The project implemented a long-term loan of voting handsets to all veterinary students (approximately 500) and established a community of expert academic users. Extensive training was provided for academics, facilitating development of more interactive approaches to traditional lectures and practicals, enhancing case-based learning, and introducing game-based learning.  Training was phased, with an initial emphasis on best practice followed by technical skills development.  The phases are repeated annually, to showcase innovative practice, engage new starters and develop expert users.
