Verdien av en digital læringsressurs for realfagsstoff i 2. semester

Abstract

This qualitative study seeks to answer whether the electronic learning resource «Nevrofysiologi», aimed at the first-year students of the Medical Doctor Degree at the University of Oslo, contributes to facilitate the learning of complex physiological mechanisms and whether it will be used by the students. The study was a usability test in the form of an interview combined with live interaction with the electronic learning resource in question. The subjects where selected from the 1st, 2nd and 3rd semesters. The results shows that this learning resource is very well structured but that not all of the animations are intuitive enough. The electronic learning resource needs to be well advertised for and the content has to be conceived of as relevant to the exam for the students to be motivated to use it.
