Session: Education Immersion 3

The Limit Does Not Exist: Leveraging Technology to Engage Learners

Thursday, May 18, 2023
9:00 AM – 10:30 AM EDT
Location: 142B
Session

Overview:

This immersion session will provide a foundation for this lesson transformation through active demonstration of the technologies being discussed. A panel will discuss a variety of ways they leverage technology to engage different learners in evidence based practice materials. Attendees are invited to BYOI (bring your own instruction), and come prepared with either an existing lesson plan or a potential idea for one. Attendees will be encouraged to share their successes, failures, and questions as presenters moderate a virtual brainstorming session to iterate lesson plans to better leverage various teaching technologies. Attendees will leave the immersion with a component enhanced through instruction technology, which could take the form of live assessments via polling tools, a gamification idea, a video component, and more!

Methods:

Panelists will share mini case studies of how they have leveraged technology to engage learners in health information instruction. Examples will include a variety of instruction types including one-shot instruction sessions, small group presentations, large lecture hall classes, and more! The session will be broken up into three sections to demonstrate how attendees can incorporate technology before, during, and after their instruction session.

Participant Engagement:

Attendees will interact throughout the presentation through a live-polling software, and will engage with active learning via demonstrations of the technology that is being discussed. Participants will be provided time to develop an action plan to integrate technology into an instruction session at their home institutions.

MLA Pharmacy and Drug Information Caucus, and SLA Pharmaceutical and Health Technology Community
