Med-students: enthusiastic, ambitious, successful and adaptable, they’re also expected to have an unprecedented amount of information at their fingertips. Dr. Russ Scaduto, Director of Education Technology for the Penn State College of Medicine and the Milton Hershey Medical Center, says lecture capture via Mediasite, with its anytime, anywhere access to information, helps the students become masters of time-management and enhance their performance. Join Dr. Scaduto for this webinar as he demonstrates how, in the span of one academic year, a leading academic health center built an educational-technology infrastructure around Mediasite that significantly impacted student learning.
The presentation will include:
- Student performance data, showing correlations between use of Mediasite-recorded lectures and student performance
- A description of how Mediasite recordings are used daily by medical students
- Best practices adopted at Penn State Hershey for using Mediasite to transform lectures into enduring educational assets, including podcasts and rich media webcasts
