Research interests
My primary research interest is the development of interactive online learning tools that address the diverse learning styles (visual, audio, read/write and kinesthetic) of our students. This research began with two projects. In collaboration with Benjamin Cummings and Primal Pictures, I was involved in the design of interactive learning exercises for an online textbook supplement entitled Anatomy 3600. The second project involved the development of interactive anatomy learning and self-testing exercises for our ANP course web sites and an evaluation of their assessment by the students who learned them. This research has continued with the identification of student physiological misconceptions through the use of two-part examination questions and the design of an online learning tool that targets some of these misconceptions that are associated with respiratory physiology (Carnegie, 2008; http://www.medicine.uottawa.ca/respiration; submitted to MedEdPortal). An ongoing project deals with the development of online learning tools in both French and English for new medical students with weak basic science backgrounds; this project will yield a number of online learning modules that will be submitted to online repositories such as MedEdPortal and HEAL.. Research during the next few years will continue to explore new ways in which technology can be used to design effective self-learning modules for students studying within the Faculties of Medicine and Health Sciences.
