Hooper, Barbara R.; Greene, David; Sample, Pat L. – Advances in Health Sciences Education, 2014
The interconnected nature of knowledge in the health sciences is not always reflected in how curricula, courses, and learning activities are designed. Thus have scholars advocated for more explicit attention to connection-making, or integration, in teaching and learning. However, conceptual and empirical work to guide such efforts is limited. This…

Schutte, Audra F. – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2016
Anatomy courses frequently serve as prerequisites or requirements for health sciences programs. Due to the challenging nature of anatomy, each semester there are students remediating the course (enrolled in the course for a second time), attempting to earn a grade competitive for admissions into a program of study. In this retrospective study,…

Megan Macklin; Patrick Jagoda; Ian B. Jones; Melissa Gilliam – Journal of STEM Outreach, 2018
It is a well-documented fact that women and minorities are currently underrepresented in STEM higher education degree programs and careers. As an outreach measure to these populations, we established the Hexacago Health Academy (HHA), an ongoing summer program. Structured as an informal learning environment with a strong youth initiated mentoring…

McGahan, William T.; Ernst, Hardy; Dyson, Laurel Evelyn – International Journal of Mobile and Blended Learning, 2016
There has been an increasing focus on student-generated multimedia assessment as a way of introducing the benefits of both visual literacy and peer-mediated learning into university courses. One such assessment was offered to first-year health science students but, contrary to expectations, led to poorer performance in their end-of-semester…
