8. BL Project–Background / Objectives
• Background
– Neuroscience is a highly complex subject
– The Auditory Pathway topic is especially
intricate
• Objectives
– Learning Outcomes with BL
– Learner Acceptance of Blended Learning
– Efficacy of Audience Response System (ARS)
9. BL Project – Data Source
• Author’s Neuroscience course
• 43 students in Third semester
• Basic Medical Science curriculum
• Caribbean medical school
10. BL Project – Design
• Blended learning pilot project
• Online: 30 minutes pre-work – Web-based video
• Face-to-face Classroom: 100 minutes of lecture
• Rotation Model – Flipped Classroom
11. BL Project – Online Component

13. BL – Pre-work Learning Objectives
1. Know the Components of Auditory Pathway
2. Understand the Laterality of projection along
Auditory Pathway
14. BL – Pre-work Questions
A. What are ALL the Components of Auditory
Pathway, in their correct sequence?
B. What is the Laterality of Projection from one
component to the next along the pathway?
15. BL Project – F-2-F Component
• Before face-to-face lecture on Auditory Pathway,
– 3 pre-lecture questions were posed
– Questions were embedded at the start of PPTX
• Following the face-to-face lecture, at the end
– 5 feedback questions were posed
– Questions were embedded at the end of PPTX
16. BL Project – ARS Clickers
• Questions embedded within
PPTX lecture slides
• TurningPoint® software from
Turning Technologies™
• Audience Response System
(ARS) clickers to record
responses
• Part of same software
17. BL – Pre-lecture Qs and Results
In the next 3 slides, students’ response
to 3 Pre-lecture questions were
recorded using Audience Response
System clickers

ARS is a
quick tool
All stated objectives fulfilled by this pilot project
28. BL Project – Discussion
• Rotation Model:
Students rotate on a
fixed schedule at the
teacher's discretion
• Flipped Classroom:
Online learning off-site
and then attend the
school for face-to-face,
teacher-guided practice
29. BL Project – Future Work
• Larger student populations
• More difficult medical topics
• More robust results
• More concrete conclusions
• Generalized to other settings
