Interactive anatomy and physiology video clips in blended learning enhanced student understanding and scores. Increased access to optional online resources correlated with higher academic performance, suggesting self-regulation is key.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Anatomy and Physiology Education
Background:
- Blended learning environments offer optional online resources to supplement traditional instruction.
- Student engagement with optional resources can impact academic performance.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the impact of optional online resources (interactive video clips, lecture capture, interactive atlas) on student learning and performance in anatomy and physiology.
- To explore the relationship between resource access, learning approach, and academic outcomes.
Main Methods:
- Anatomy and physiology interactive video clips were integrated into a blended learning environment.
- Student access to optional online resources (video clips, lecture capture, atlas) was tracked.
- Learning approach and subject scores were analyzed in relation to resource access.
Main Results:
- Approximately 50% of students accessed the optional video clips, reporting positive feedback on engagement and understanding.
- Higher deep learning was observed in students accessing video clips, the atlas, or multiple online resources.
- A linear relationship was found between the number of resources accessed and subject score, with a 16% difference between accessing none versus all resources.
Conclusions:
- Optional online resources, particularly interactive video clips and atlases, appear to support student learning and improve subject scores.
- Increased access to multiple online resources correlates with higher academic performance, potentially linked to student self-regulation.
- Further research is needed to fully elucidate the complex interplay between academic performance, optional resource utilization, and deep learning strategies.

Avoidance Learning and Learned Helplessness
Avoidance learning occurs when an organism learns that a specific behavior can prevent an unpleasant outcome. For example, a student who receives a bad grade may start studying harder to avoid future poor grades. This behavior persists even when the negative outcome is no longer present. Avoidance learning is powerful because it maintains behavior in the absence of the...
