14. Conclusions Web based apps are available Most are functional Though may be a little hard to use Caution should be used when storing information on line Caution should be used when trying new software
15. Wikis and Twitter Gary D. Theilman, Pharm.D. University of Mississippi School of Pharmacy
16. At the end of this presentation, the audience will be able to: Describe two approaches to scoring a wiki assignment List two ways a “consult” can be sent via Twitter Describe two ways Google Voice can be used to collect answers from students
17. TDM Lab Three hour “Skills Lab” Four lab sections with 20 students each Each lab session divided into 4 teams Had not taken pharmacokinetics, yet
18. Assignment Create a fictional TDM consulting service Offer consults for at least 4 different drugs Why should physicians use your service? What information is needed for each drug? What will be done with the information? How will consult be communicated back to physician?
19. Wikis Collaborative editing Tracks who made changes Versioning No HTML knowledge needed
20. Student Pre-Lab Preparation “What is a wiki?” video Review article on TDM services Follow a short tutorial to Create a new wiki page Insert an image Create a link to another page Quiz at the beginning of lab
21. My Pre-Lab Preparation Set up a wiki for each lab section Provided a “skeletal” structure of linked pages to get them started Home page Four “drug” pages Created wiki accounts for each student
22. Problems Passwords No problems with wiki software
23. Wiki Grading Rubric Ranking Best wiki gets 100% Next best gets 90% Third best gets 80% Fourth best gets 75%
24. Individual Grading Collaborative editing Tracks who made changes Versioning No HTML knowledge needed
25. Social Loafing Complaints that “there’s a student who isn’t contributing” Shift responsibility from faculty to student Peer evaluations
26. Wiki Score X Peer Scores = Lab Grade 100 80 X 105 = Lab Grade 100 84 = Lab Grade
27. Concept Students are pharmacists “on-call” for an 8 hour period At random times, “consults” will be sent Have a specified time to formulate answer and respond
28. Problems About 100 students How to send out consults How to collect and score responses
29. Sending Out Consults Email? Not all students had mobile email Would require students to sit by computer all day Text messages? Have to get cell phone numbers Student privacy? What if students change cell phones?
30. Twitter Free bulk text messaging! Students can choose how to receive Cell phone Smart phone app Laptop Desktop computer Other services that relay tweets
31. “Fast Follow” No Twitter account needed No computer needed From cell phone Text to 40404 follow PY3Class
32. Twitter Anxiety Check PY3Class at Twitter website Text to 40404 get PY3Class
33. Problems About 100 students How to send out consults How to collect and grade responses
34. Receiving Responses Email? Text messages? Didn’t want 100 text messages coming to my phone
35. Our Experience First consult day One question Entire question contained within tweet Look up a dose Gave students 60 minutes to respond All but one student responded within the hour
36. Our Experience Second consult day Two questions Started putting URLs in tweets Gave two hours to respond Everyone in class responded on time
37. Our Experience Third consult day Similar format to second day Three consults in an 8 hours period Everyone responded to each tweet Students telling IPPE preceptors that they were “on-call” and couldn’t do their rotation that day Some students were calling from the same cell phone
38. Our Experience Fourth consult day Trying increase level of complexity of each consult Bloom’s Taxonomy Application Analysis Synthesis Evaluation Some challenges writing “evaluation” questions
39. At the end of this presentation, the audience will be able to: Describe two approaches to scoring a wiki assignment List two ways a “consult” can be sent via Twitter Describe two ways Google Voice can be used to collect answers from students
