Abstract

This session will demonstrate an innovative web-based learning tool, LionLearn, used at Penn State College of Medicine. LionLearn employs video presentations to help community-based medical school faculty objectively evaluate medical students during rural rotations. The tool is based on ThinkAbout architecture, which was developed by the Center for Instructional Innovation at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. It uses a case-based learning approach to enhance contextualized problem-solving skills. Users view a medical student's case presentation, make a decision about how to apply evaluation criteria, and give a rationale for their choice. In a second phase, the tool graphically displays frequencies of all users' choices and lists users' and other's rationales. A coach is available to provide helpful hints and an expert gives an authoritative description of how rating criteria should have been applied. Evaluations continue through multiple cycles and cases.
