Pilot Studies of In-Course Assessment for a Revised Medical Curriculum: II. Computer-Based, Individual.

Miller, Andrew P.; Haden, Patricia; Schwartz, Peter L.; Loten, Ernest G.

Academic Medicine, v72 n12 p1113-15 Dec 1997

A study investigated a computer-based testing method in an anatomic pathology course within a new, modular, systems-oriented medical curriculum at the University of Otago (New Zealand). Students (n=193) completed five biweekly criterion-referenced, computer-based quizzes incorporating digitized photographs and varied question formats. Results confirm the feasibility of using regular, computer-based quizzes for large classes. (Author/MSE)
