Title
Creation of just in time videos for healthcare educators on using synchronous technologies (zoom)
Length of Presentation
Background/Purpose
The current pandemic has caused a rapid shift to "emergency" online teaching, with little preparation of teachers and learners on best practices, particularly in synchronous (webinar) environments. To our knowledge, no comprehensive resources exist for faculty development in synchronous teaching for a healthcare context.
When transitioning to synchronous learning, educators need to develop self-efficacy and comfort level in using technology as well as incorporate the same effective principles that are important in face to face (F2F) teaching, (e.g. interactivity, feedback, repetition, reflection, social learning).
Summary of the Innovation
Using Agile software development methodology, we discuss the creation of 2 videos series (for educators and for learners), each with 7X 5min videos.
This presentation will discuss
1. background, and design of the project
2. scripting, and Agile process
3. synergistic collaborations and dissemination
4. usage analytics to date (YouTube)
We chose video to allow bite sized, on the go, just in time, repetitive, practical hands-on and reflective learning across multiple devices, for busy physicians, already overwhelmed by pandemic changes.
Inter-institutional and national collaborators were engaged to ensure the content was applicable across multiple contexts and locations.
Conclusion
This iterative approach using an Agile framework for video creation may assist others in building technology enhanced faculty development. These videos and associated resources may also help faculty development in synchronous education, through knowing "what buttons to push" in these environments but also examining the pedagogical reasons for choosing them.
