Students from a Large Australian University Use Twitter to Identify Difficult Course Concepts to Review during Face-to-Face Lectorial Sessions
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Halpin, Patricia A.; Johnson, Jeremiah; Badoer, Emilio – Advances in Physiology Education, 2021
Engaging undergraduate students in large classes is a constant challenge for many lecturers, as student participation and engagement can be limited. This is a concern since there is a positive correlation between increased engagement and student success. The lack of student feedback on content delivery prevents lecturers from identifying topics…

Colthorpe, Kay; Ainscough, Louise – Advances in Physiology Education, 2021
Laboratory classes are a cornerstone of physiology education, enabling students to develop essential knowledge and skills. Recent moves toward utilizing blended options to support face-to-face classes with online materials are beneficial, but using solely online classes may not produce similar learning gains. During 2020, the global pandemic meant…
