2. Objectives
•
•
•
•
•
Define “Blended Learning”
Identify and discussed the 6 primary blended learning models.
Describe characteristics of successful on-line learners & teachers.
Describe the flipped classroom model.

17. Is a Blended Learning Model for a hands-on
profession like PT REALLY Possible?!
18. •Internet vs non-instruction & Internet vs Traditional
Instruction (study n=201)
•Outcomes assessed
•Knowledge
•Skills acquisition
•Behaviors in clinic/effect on patients
•Learner Satisfaction
•Result:
•Internet-based superior to non-instruction (Large + effects)
• Internet-based vs traditional instruction= similarly effective
21. Considerations for Flipping
To Flip or Not to Flip: Points of Consideration
Curricular
How does your agenda fit the greater overall curriculum?
Personal
Technology
Do you you have the skills to develop this content?
Time cost?
System
Technology
What resources can you leverage from campus/facility?
Course
Considerations
Time relief for flipped lecture hours?
How does this help achieve your educational objectives?
Debriefing
Strategy
How do you integrate flipped content into your in-class time?
22. Considerations for Flipping
Curricular
How many classes incorporate flipped content?
Is there consistency in the approach?
Student time burden? Per day/week/class?
Is their consistency in the debriefing strategy?
23. Considerations for Flipping
Personal Technology
What’s your comfort with a given technology?
Time cost for development? (Recouped later)
Integrative plan?
Development of support materials
24. Considerations for Flipping
System Technology
University resources can lower costs
Video servers?
Internet connection consistency
Instructional Technology support for faculty
25. Considerations for Flipping
Course-level considerations
Contact hours issue
In what way does blending/flipping help?
Support materials
Ratio of in-class to online/recorded content?
26. Considerations for Flipping
Debriefing Strategy
In-class review?
Student driven vs. faculty facilitated?
What do you do with the extra time?
Establish Expectations
46. I believe another problem is that we still don't understand the true
mechanism of many cases of LBP. As was mentioned in one of the video
lectures, even society's favorite "go-to" to find answers (diagnostic
imaging) will likely be inconclusive, as degeneration is a normal part of
the aging process. Even an image with a positive "deformity" finding
might not be the true cause of the pain. So not only is over-treatment
an issue, but I would argue that "over-diagnosing” is as well.
47.
48. Questions:
Describe the Regional Interdependence (RI) concept
Define and describe the 2-Joint Rule
Discuss examples from the literature representing a variety of
reports types (RCT, case-series, correlational work, etc.) that
support the concept of RI

53. Challenges
• Applied profession: skills mastery as well as
knowledge acquisition
• Limited resources: faculty, up-to-date
information, time
• Students: expectations, learning style
variability, location, competing demands
54. “Flipping” it from 2009 – Present
• Out-of-Class
–
–
–
–
On-line lectures
Lecture “Prep” sheets and handouts
Selected primary readings
Skills practical in clinic with clinician examiners
• In Class
– Interactive discussion, problem solving and casebased clinical reasoning and decision making
– Formative mini-lab exams (FMLE)
– Evidence-based practice (EBP) assignments
55. Technology
• Pre-class preparation
– Screen capture
– Researched topic and Scripted audio (in-house and
later collaborative)
– Uploading to central server
– LMS formatting and preparation
– Mobile devices in mind
• In-class Execution
– “Smart” classroom station
– Ceiling mounted projection camera (lab)
62. Benefits
• Customize learning to the specific needs of
the individual
• Provide immediate feedback
• Create a constructive learning environment
• Motivate students to perform beyond
externally imposed requirements
• Build enduring conceptual structures

64. How I develop blended learning experiences.
ERIC’S PROCESS
67. Currently, there are over 80,000 ACL injuries in the U.S.
each year. Over 90% of those will be surgically repaired.
Cochrane SR, 2005, Benjaminse, 2006
It’s a paradigm

68. Pros and Cons of Slide-by-Slide Audio
Takes more time
Can feel disjointed
Requires logistics planning
Can update slides later
Can move slides around
Time investment stays up front
70. Play the PowerPoint – Screen capture
Things I do when recording:
• Set Up Slideshow: Present from window
• Camtasia:
• Custom screen size
• System Audio plugin active
• May or may not use timings to advance
slides
74. Making a Movie
• Advanced Export as an MP4 file
• Upload file to Vimeo Pro Account
– Can control access to source video file
– Mobile ready
– I pay for this personally, just FYI. Worth it to me.
Well it looks like it’s been a bad day for our friend Buzz Lightyear, and if I were a surgeon, I’d say he requires surgery to re-attach that leg. Surgeons as a group, follow a similar approach to ACL injuries, opting for surgery on the vast majority of them. In fact, as you view this lecture, you may not realize that repair of an ACL is an elective, not a required procedure. It’s become almost standard of care to rush into surgery following an ACL injury. This lecture exists to tell you the other side of the story.
