The use of mobile learning to develop understanding of biomedical sciences
This paper presents evidence that 90sec video vignettes designed for delivery by way of mobile communication devices contribute to engaged learning and understanding of biomedical sciences as measured by higher student participation and attainment in physiology practical classes. By acting as a just in time prompt or trigger for learning, the vignettes situate students learning, bridge the link between lectures and practical classes, and provide a rationale for the relationship of the practical class to the etiology of various disease states. Further, this paper introduces a new smartphone interface that allows access to existing scenariobased learning activities on the SBLi? platform (www.sblinteractive.org). Leveraging student-owned technology for academic benefit, the SBLi? smartphone interface offers high impact active learning opportunities away from formal teaching environments and at times that suit the learner.
