iMedEd Initiative
• Class of 2014 • Presented with iPad• White coat ceremony • August 2010
Rebooting Med School Curriculum
• Small groups vs. traditional lectures• Interactive vs. didactic learning• Concepts vs. Chapter by Chapter units• Clinical transitions to more technology (EMRs)
UC Irvine students received:
• 104 iPads with cases for class of 2014• 13 digital textbooks• 16 GB• 3G (students had to activate/fund data plan)• Wireless • 6 productivity apps• 8 reference apps• 6 small group collaboration apps
3G vs. Wireless
• Wireless may not be available at clinics, hospitals
• Most first year students used wireless access• 3G could be activated later by student as
needed
Digital textbooks problem
• Not enough time to find eBooks available thru library
• Tried to get publishers of textbooks to provide digital version
• Students were dissatisfied with result
Vendor of textbooks:
• Vital source• Course Smart• Inkling• Lippincott• iModality
Textbooks included:
• Lippincott Biochemistry• Haines Neuroanatomy• Bates Guide to Physical Examination• Grants Dissector• Grants Atlas• Netters Atlas• Gartner Histology
Productivity Apps:
• Dropbox• iAnnotate• Noterize• Keynote• Pages• Numbers
Annotation Apps:
Students split 50/50 preference for:• iAnnotate• Noterize
Dissatisfaction with Textbooks:
• Technology is behind• Could not easily annotate • 3-6 step process• Similar process to cropping a picture
Reference Apps:
• Epocrates• Skyscape• Pocket Body and Anatomy • Visual Dx• MedCalc• EyeChart• SonoAccess
Favorites of faculty:
• Pocket Anatomy: 3D layers• Visual Dx• SonoAccess
Small Group Apps:
• Mindnode• Adobe Ideas• Popplet• Response• iResponse• Groupboard
Funding for initiative:
• Donations• Scholarship money
Student and faculty innovators:
• Digital Cadaver Lab- homegrown app• Reviewed and recommended apps• Blog http://blogs.uci.edu/iMedEd/ • Used iPads in ZipLock bags in labs
Clinical Faculty
• Replaced lectures with 30 min. podcasts• Students came to hospital or clinic• Rounds and special cases• Students loved this change
Faculty
• Engage early• Find the value-add-ons (why use iPad?)• Change in pedagogy from lecture to small
group collaborations• Change from textbook chapter-based learning
to concept case-based learning
Hardware
• Pool resources• Apple stores provide training and help• Know the limits of your iPad• Avoid work-arounds• UC Irvine: no major hardware issues
Cost savings:
• Students print less- access handouts and articles on iPad and annotate
• May have students required to purchase in the future
• Many of the 2nd and 3rd year students purchased iPads on their own after observing 1st years use iPads
Ripple Effect
• Little changes can have rippling effects…
