Comparison of Traditional Lecture-Based Learning versus Interactive Electronic Book Learning in Veterinary Student Comprehension of Inhalant Anesthetic Administration, Uptake, and Elimination.

The administration, uptake, and elimination of inhalant anesthetics is a challenging topic in the veterinary curriculum, and lecture-based learning is often insufficient to ensure that students understand these concepts. We hypothesized that the use of an interactive electronic book (e-book) would enhance student comprehension of the material. Two sequential Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine student cohorts participated in a prospective controlled study. The first cohort received traditional lecture-based learning while the second cohort was taught the topic using an interactive e-book. Student comprehension of the material was assessed twice during the course via multiple-choice questions: five questions in a midcourse quiz and seven within the final exam. At the end of the course, students also completed a Likert survey assessing their confidence regarding the topic. Averaged across assessment types, students taught using the interactive e-book scored higher than those taught via the traditional method (p < .001). Final exam scores were significantly higher in the e-book cohort compared with the lecture-based cohort (p < .001). However, there was no difference in quiz scores between groups (p = .109). No significant difference was found between groups in responses to the Likert survey. In conclusion, students using the interactive e-book had better comprehension of the material than students in the traditional lecture group as measured by their scores on multiple-choice question assessments. Future studies are needed to determine whether this advantage persists later in the curriculum when students apply these concepts in the clinical year.

Interactive eBook Applications in the Context of the Modern Media System: Release and Promotion Strategies

The article treats digital technologies impact on modern ways of content producing, promotion and consumption. The focus is on interactive book apps as innovative publishing projects that use interactive multimedia content. Interactive book apps are designed for tablets and smartphones and combine different elements (texts, images, video, audio, animation and so on). The author traces back in short e-books prehistory from Kindle gadgets to the time of innovative iPad tablet that resulted in a new generation of e-books. Different types of interactive book apps are highlighted in the article on the base of their purposes and genres (for examp.: fiction, non-fiction, for kids and so on); some of these apps have elements of critical edition. From theoretical point of view interactive book apps can be treated within the frame of the media convergence approach that tends to blur boundaries between contents of different types. Exactly from these stem theoretical and practical difficulties as follows: in the first case – with notions that could be applied to them, in the second one – with tools for their search, identification, systematization and preservation in archives. The article analyzes a number of limitations (technological, software, legal, socio-cultural) that hinder their dynamic development in the modern media system. Main strategies of apps’ output and promotion are generalized and a number of restrictions that hinders their actual development in the media system is analyzed.

A study on how using an interactive multimedia e-book improves teachers\u2019 ability to teach evidence-based medicine depending on their seniority

BackgroundTeaching evidence-based medicine (EBM) is not an easy task. The role of the electronic book (e-book) is a useful supplement to traditional methods for improving skills. Our aim is to use an interactive e-book or PowerPoint to evaluate instructors’ teaching effects on EBM.MethodsOur study group was introduced to learning EBM using an interactive e-book available on the Internet, while the control group used a PowerPoint presentation. We adopted the Modified Fresno test to assess EBM skills both before and after their learning. EBM teaching sessions via e-book or PowerPoint were 20–30 min long, followed by students’ feedback. We adopted Student’s t-test to compare teachers’ evaluation of their EBM skills prior to the class and the students’ assessment of the teachers’ instruction. We also adopted repeated measures ANCOVA to compare teachers’ evaluation of their EBM skills using the Fresno test both before and after the class.ResultsWe observed no difference regarding EBM skills between the two groups prior to their experimental learning, which was assessed by the Modified Fresno test. After learning, physicians in the study group ranked higher in choosing a case to explain which kind of research design was used for the study type of the question and explaining their choice (P = 0.024) as assessed by the post-test to pre-test Fresno test. Teaching effect was better in the e-book group than in the control group for the items, “I am satisfied with this lesson,” “The teaching was of high quality,” “This was a good teaching method,” and “It aroused my interest in EBM.” However, no differences were observed between the two groups in physicians who had more than 10 years’ experience.ConclusionsThe use of interactive e-books in clinical teaching can enhance a teacher’s EBM skills, though not in more senior physicians. This may suggest that teaching methodology and activities differ for teachers’ varying years of experience.
