7. Rumi Chunara 10/29/2007 Pedagogy Flow Lecture Problem set Exam Baseline Lecture with Individualized feedback Exam HST Modules Online tutorial

8. Rumi Chunara 10/29/2007 HST 090: Cardiovascular Pathophysiology diverse audience course content: basic science and clinical concepts foundational topics which students report difficulty in mastering early on in course course already incorporates problem sets to encourage preparation before lectures

9. Rumi Chunara 10/29/2007 Module Purposes direct reading feedback for lecturer about student understanding engage students on a complicated topic

10. Rumi Chunara 10/29/2007 Module Implementation open source : high-level Python Web framework that encourages rapid development and clean, pragmatic design of dynamic websites problem based (wealth of resources on topic are already available: textbooks, lecture notes, internet sources) – still include individualized, formative feedback

11. Rumi Chunara 10/29/2007 Design Process Questions: –should be challenging, but straightforward to implement in online format –possible formats considered: multiple choice (text, graphical) short answer (match text) long answer (look for key words) graphical answering (create drawings) analogies useful for understanding and extending concepts to enforce the basic underlying facts require thought on multiple layers of concepts
