Area of Science:

Medical Education
Digital Learning Technologies

Background:

Podcasting is a common educational resource, but enhanced audiovisual formats like screencasts are underutilized.
Screencasts benefit both visual and auditory learners, offering a versatile learning experience.

Purpose of the Study:

To examine the utilization and student reception of screencasts in a medical embryology module.
To assess the impact of screencasts on student learning outcomes.

Main Methods:

Five mini-lecture and one review quiz screencasts were created with audio narration.
Screencasts were delivered via a managed learning environment (MLE).
Analysis included server logs, student feedback, and end-of-module examination scores.

Main Results:

Screencasts were accessed by a significant portion of the student cohort, with peak usage before examinations.
Most students provided positive feedback regarding the usefulness of screencasts for their learning.
Examination scores indicated a potential positive effect of screencasts on student performance.

Conclusions:

Embryology screencasts serve as a valuable supplement to traditional lectures.
Screencasts enhance the learning experience and appear to positively influence student outcomes.
This technology offers more than just "technology engagement," providing tangible learning benefits.
