Description
Poster Title: Let’s Play KAHOOT! Teaching Epocrates Through Online Game-Based Learning to High School Students.
Background: The Florida State University College of Medicine hosts a one-week residential summer program on campus for high school students. The Science Students Together Reaching Instructional Diversity & Excellence (SSTRIDE) Summer Institute motivates students to excel academically, introduces students to a variety of clinical settings, provides standardized test preparation for ACT and SAT, provides mentoring, exposes students to college life, gives students a perspective on the life of a medical student, expose students to certain aspects of the medical school curriculum through interaction with faculty and participation in faculty led presentations about medical topics, and inspires students to pursue careers in health-care professions. The opportunity arose for the Maguire Medical Library to conduct the Informatics session of the SSTRIDE Summer Institute. An hour long informatics sessions is given during each week-long camp. Mobile health technology is discussed with the group followed by learning how to use Epocrates® through the online game-based learning tool KAHOOT!
Methods: Over the past five years, the Maguire Medical Library has extended their presence by becoming integrated into the SSTRIDE experience, taking on expanded faculty roles as needs were presented. The librarians demonstrated their usefulness by participating in the evolution of the Informatics session, by moving the learning content from a plug-and-play Jeopardy game to KAHOOT! followed by taking the leadership role of teaching the SSTRIDE Informatics session.
Conclusions: The possibilities for a medical librarian in a college of medicine are encouraging and require librarians to integrate themselves in the designing of objectives and learning opportunities outside of the library itself. Identifying these opportunities, however small, has demonstrated how increase library involvement can strengthen not only the SSTRIDE program but is value added to the overall mission of the Florida State University College of Medicine.
