We previously developed an online multiple-choice question authoring, learning, and self-assessment tool that we termed Quizzical. Here report statistical analyses over two consecutive years of Quizzical use in a large sophomore-level introductory molecular biology course. Students were required to author questions during the term also afforded opportunities earn marks for quiz participation. found students whose final grade was "A," "B," or "C" exhibited similar patterns engagement. The...

Objective Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a neuromuscular disorder that manifests with motor deterioration and respiratory complications. The paradigm of care shifting as disease-modifying therapies including nusinersen, onasemnogene abeparvovec risdiplam alter the disease trajectory SMA. objective this study was to explore caregivers’ experiences for Design Qualitative semistructured interviews caregivers children SMA who received therapies. Interviews were audio recorded, transcribed...
Background Clinical management of ventilator-assisted individuals (VAIs) was challenged by social distancing rules during the COVID-19 pandemic. In May 2020, Long-Term In-Home Ventilator Engagement (LIVE) Program launched in Ontario, Canada to provide intensive digital care case VAIs. The purpose this qualitative study explore acceptability LIVE hosted via a platform pandemic from diverse perspectives. Methods We conducted descriptive (May 2020–April 2021) comprising semi-structured...
The Immediate-Feedback Collaborative Assessment Tool (IFCAT) is a web-based application originally designed to replace scratch-card based immediate feedback multiple choice quizzes. In this work, we detail IFCAT's code tracing ability, which allows for line-by-line of questions. This scaffolded questions whereby subsequent on test build upon previous results, without the danger cascading errors caused my small mistakes. IFCAT also think-pair-share and driver-passenger collaborative...
Background/Aims: Gene network analysis can be a very valuable approach for elucidating complex dependence between functional SNPs in candidate genetic pathway and assessing their association with disease of interest. Even when the number evaluated is relatively small (<20), potential gene networks induced by large contingency tables representing joint distribution sparse. Methods: In this paper, we propose Bayesian model determination using decomposable discrete graphical models combined...
Many recent studies, based largely on face-to-face classroom experiences, extol the benefits of new interactive pedagogical models, including peer-based learning.Others have shown that out-of-class student-teacher interaction (e.g., office hour attendance) leads to improvements in many key academic measures, student performance, retention, and satisfaction.At same time, however, it has been that, relative their male peers, women are less likely engage both in-and discussion post-secondary...
This work-in-progress paper introduces new features for entering equations in Mathematics Classroom Collaborator (MC <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> ) smartphones. Generally, large first-year service courses mathematics, students find it challenging to ask instructors or TAs questions and communicate with other compared subjects. To address these challenges, MC was developed as a mathematics chat system facilitate...
Engaging students is critical to fulfilling the learning objectives of any course and particularly challenging in a remote environment. To foster engagement an introductory statistics for weekly participation marks, we employed online software Quizzical, where create multiple choice questions based on lecture material that will be answered by their peers. In this paper, investigate whether level Quizzical has positive association with formal test performance (quiz, midterm, final) large...
