WEBINAR
Improve your presentations (through learner engagement and polling)
We know that learner engagement leads to increased learning. This requires practice and manipulation of a few techniques that have been proven to be effective. Join Robert Parson to find, practice and apply skills that will engage your learners with you and with the content. Select and utilize polling tools that will help your audience become part of the learning, not simply spectators.

MCQ workshop: How to develop high quality MCQs: an interactive workshop
Despite the increased emphasis on the use of workplace-based assessment in competency-based education models, there is still an important role for the use ofmultiple-choice questions (MCQs)inthe assessment ofhealth professionals.The challenge, however, is to ensure that MCQs are developed in a way to allow educators to derive meaningful information about examinees’ abilities.This requires that the items developed be of high quality.
This hands-on workshop will provide training in the development of high quality MCQs. Participants will work in pairs or small groups to develop MCQs while the facilitator provides guidance and feedback. In addition, participants will be introduced to the concept of cognitive models (i.e., representations of the knowledge and skills that are required to solve a problem) and how these can be used to facilitate the development of high quality MCQs. They will have an opportunity to develop their own models and receive feedback. The expectation is that all participants will develop a minimum of three high quality MCQs that can be used on a UGME examination.
