Description
Introduction: TopHat (Tophatmonacle Corporation, Toronto, Ontario, Canada) is an active learning platform that allows instructors to present lectures and engage with students in real time by testing their knowledge through instructor-written questions. Some students participate in these practice questions while others do not. All students complete questions on formal assessment.
Objective: To assess whether student engagement in TopHat-delivered Biochemistry, Microbiology, and HDT lectures and their associated practice questions has an impact on formal assessment performance.
Methods: Statistical analysis of student performance and engagement was conducted using the TopHat-generated “Learning Insights” spreadsheet. Appropriate statistical methods will be employed to analyze data associated with Tophat participation.
Results: We anticipate that the proposed study will indicate whether participation in TopHat questions during biochemistry lectures impacts student performance on exam questions.
Conclusions: Participation in TopHat practice questions during lectures is correlated with a higher formal assessment performance.
