2017 ASHS Annual Conference

Development and delivery of online undergraduate and graduate courses can oftentimes be overwhelming and challenging. Two common challenges faced in online teaching environments are 1) how to encourage student engagement and interaction with course materials, and 2) how to aid students in identifying key lesson topics. To address both of these challenges, weekly interactive reinforcement quizzes were created and presented at the end of each lecture using Articulate Quizmaker^© software in two separate courses. Although simple in their implementation, reinforcement quizzes have been positively received by students with most agreeing that they encouraged interaction with lesson topics and helped identify key concepts.
