Using Computer Simulated Science Laboratories: A Test of Pre-Laboratory Activities with the Learning Error and Formative Feedback Model
DownloadSpring 2017
The use of computer simulated science laboratories (CSSL) to assess science knowledge and skills has become popular in recent years (Bennett, Persky, Weiss, & Jenkins, 2007; PhET, 2014). These digital environments are often superior to face-to-face environments in which traditional science...

Using the Ottawa Surgical Competency Operative Room Evaluation (O-SCORE) in a Canadian Plastic Surgery Program
DownloadFall 2016
Competency-based medical education has overtaken the traditional apprenticeship model of medical education. This shift toward competence-based training demands a higher number of assessments per trainee. Current assessment methods in Plastic Surgery have not been well studied. Numerous assessment...
