Thematic analysis of qualitative feedback 2013
Most valuable Least valuable
You can please some …
• The videos accompanying the verbal and
written descriptions were very useful.
• The video format of the tutorials was great,
very clear & easy to understand.
• Some of the videos were short, effective, and
a joy to watch 
What did you find most valuable about StudySmart?
…but you can’t please them all
• Some of the videos were way to long and
boring
• There were some videos that were pretty
long and confusing
• although the videos were really helpful with
good information, perhaps just having it
written would be better as we would be able
to look and find the information quicker if we
want to review
What did you find least valuable about StudySmart?

Some thoughts about StudySmart
“Showing us how to use the
databases is a VERY good idea I
believe as this is an important
skill, especially for the lifelong
learning in medicine and being
able to access respected
journals readily.”

Some thoughts about StudySmart
“It was easy to follow, didn't take
too long to do, exposed me to
different search strategies that I
wasn't aware of through the
library website.”
© University of Otago : used with permission
“I have never had to cite
anything in a research
sense, and was not fully
aware of copyright laws.
This was really helpful to
show me why and
when I need to cite and then
how also to do this.”
Some thoughts about StudySmart
© University of Otago : used with permission
“Very well
organised, covers
everything, makes
you feel
welcomed to ask
for help if need
be, medical library
is a cosy library,
was nice to have
so much time to
complete
studysmart.”
Some thoughts about StudySmart
Some thoughts about StudySmart
“Already had previous
experience using the
library so didn’t find that
this tool was useful for
myself however if I had
never used the library I
believe that it would be of
great assistance.”
Critical factors
• Academic support for compulsory / terms
requirement to ensure student buy-in
• Cohorts need examples that are relevant to them
in the tasks
• Needs to be relevant and tied to in course
assessment to optimise learning (eg essay /
report)
• Recognition that some students have prior
knowledge & the course may be a refresher only
for them
Kaizen!
constant improvement

  • 4. Why this relevant to staff? • Meets requirements of the University’s Graduate Attributes • Integrated into the curriculum • Terms requirement / grade
  • 5. Why this relevant to students? • Timed to help students develop skills required for their assignments • Designed to help students develop skills for lifelong learning
  • 6. 4 x 2hr labs in Medicine 4 x 2hr labs in Pharmacy 4 x 2hr labs in Physio’ = 24 hrs teaching
  • 7. 4 core topics xtra topics xtra topics
  • 8. How we did it • Approached academic staff • Presented idea at undergrad committees • Results of the pilot provided evidential basis • Chose appropriate topics with the lecturers • Discussed assessment / terms requirements
  • 9. How does it work? • Course is open for an agreed period of time • Students do it in self-directed learning time • (4-6) topics • (4-6) quizzes –Pass the quizzes by 80% to progress to next topic –Complete the evaluation
  • 12. Evaluation • Students were asked to complete an online evaluation form • Likert Scale measured perceived increase in knowledge and understanding • Qualitative feedback identified the most valuable and least valuable aspects of the course
  • 13.

  • 16. You can please some … • The videos accompanying the verbal and written descriptions were very useful. • The video format of the tutorials was great, very clear & easy to understand. • Some of the videos were short, effective, and a joy to watch  What did you find most valuable about StudySmart?
  • 17. …but you can’t please them all • Some of the videos were way to long and boring • There were some videos that were pretty long and confusing • although the videos were really helpful with good information, perhaps just having it written would be better as we would be able to look and find the information quicker if we want to review What did you find least valuable about StudySmart?
  • 18. CC BY Tulane Public Relations http://www.flickr.com/photos/tulanesally/3231921034 Some thoughts about StudySmart “Showing us how to use the databases is a VERY good idea I believe as this is an important skill, especially for the lifelong learning in medicine and being able to access respected journals readily.”
  • 19. © University of Otago : used with permission Some thoughts about StudySmart “It was easy to follow, didn't take too long to do, exposed me to different search strategies that I wasn't aware of through the library website.”
  • 20. © University of Otago : used with permission “I have never had to cite anything in a research sense, and was not fully aware of copyright laws. This was really helpful to show me why and when I need to cite and then how also to do this.” Some thoughts about StudySmart
  • 21. © University of Otago : used with permission “Very well organised, covers everything, makes you feel welcomed to ask for help if need be, medical library is a cosy library, was nice to have so much time to complete studysmart.” Some thoughts about StudySmart
  • 22. Some thoughts about StudySmart “Already had previous experience using the library so didn’t find that this tool was useful for myself however if I had never used the library I believe that it would be of great assistance.”
  • 23. Critical factors • Academic support for compulsory / terms requirement to ensure student buy-in • Cohorts need examples that are relevant to them in the tasks • Needs to be relevant and tied to in course assessment to optimise learning (eg essay / report) • Recognition that some students have prior knowledge & the course may be a refresher only for them

  • 26. Thank you! Sarah Gallagher @sarahlibrarina (Trish Leishman & Richard German) We’d like to acknowledge our colleagues: Mrs Sue Weddell | Mrs Judy Fisher Dr Phil Blyth | Dr Tony Barrett | Associate Professor Grant Butt

Editor's Notes

  1. Kia ora koutou, nau mai, haere mai Ko Sarah taku ingoa Subject Librarian supporting teaching, learning and research at University of Otago in health sciences: specifically in early learning in medicine & pharmacy Category B Ethics approval from the University of Otago I’d like to acknowledge my colleagues Trish Leishman, Sue Weddell, Judy Fisher and Richard German, and also staff we’ve worked closely with on this in the Faculty of Medicine, particularly Dr Phil Blyth, Brendon Rich and Dr Tony Barrett. Thanks also to Associate Professor Grant Butt, Associate Dean of Medical Education for his continued interest and support of our continued involvement in the curriculum. 15-20 mins (half for questions)
  2. First discussed at CSC in 2011 – Embedded in a LMS orient students’ to resources and services available through the Health Sciences Library and to cf http://otago.libguides.com/content.php?pid=128157&sid=2549969
  3. Students enter all professional Health Sciences programmes from Health Sciences First Year which is highly competitive. There is a small amount of library instruction in Feb during prelim lectures, an extremely intensive part of the year. Until 2012 there was 20 mins of instruction at the end of February. Now there is about 10 mins introduction and access to a small collection of resources in Blackboard. (cf Physics Subject Guide http://otago.libguides.com/content.php?pid=128157&sid=2549969) We have them all for their second and third years, before at 4th year the students split across the three Otago medical schools: CHCH, DUN and WGN. For us, in the library, we have a small window of opportunity in which to access the whole cohort and for it to be meaningful to the students, it need to be timely and relevant.
  4. University of Otago Teaching and Learning Plan Action Plan 2013-2020 http://hedc.otago.ac.nz/hedc/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Teaching-Learning-Plan-2013_2020.pdf Lifelong learning Critical thinking Ethical use of information Information literacy Research Need our students to be literate in many senses of the word including See “So what …” – Selwyn (2013) Relevance to: Policy
  5. Replaced a series of 4 x 2hr labs in ELM2 from 2012 Replaced a series of 4 x 2hr labs in PHCY & PHTY in 2013 DENT = new collaboration Reasons for moving online: increase in student numbers Library teaching was asynchronous with curriculum
  6. Approached course convenors, relevant lecturers/academics Presented to undergraduate committees for 2nd year students Results of 2012 pilot provided evidential basis Chose appropriate course topics in collaboration with the lecturers from a pool of resources we had developed Discussed assessment and terms requirements
  7. The course consists of four core topics (but we currently have 7 topics in our pool of resources.) Within each topic there’s a series of tasks, and a quiz at the end of the topic that relates to the task content. The number of topics and tasks are chosen in collaboration with the course convenor to tailor the content to best fit within their programme. We are able to create Topics and tasks depending on requirements. Four core topics are: Topic 1:The Library and how it can help you Topic 2:The basics of finding information Topic 3: How to find quality sources of information Topic 4:Developing good search techniques and learning about databases Also Endnote Note taking and essay writing
  8. Each task comprises brief instructions, something to watch or interact with, and something to do to reinforce what has been observed REUSING content in a new context! RLO OERs At the end of each topic is a short quiz - you need to get at least 80% to pass You can resit the quiz as often as you like You must pass the quiz in order to access the next topic. Immediate feedback – need to work on this however Topic 3: In this module, you’ll be looking at how to evaluate information. As part of this we’ll also be looking at how to use information in an ethical way by learning about plagiarism, copyright and referencing. Task 1: The difference between databases and search engines Task 2: evaluating information Task 3: Copyright Task 4: Plagiarism Task 5: Citation styles
  9. http://www.flickr.com/photos/makarellos/3933335211 It was the qualitative feedback that has provided us with information that has enabled us to make improvements to the course.
  10. Results of likert scale from end of course evaluation : question about perceived increase in knowledge and understanding of Topic 4 Topic 4: Asked students to construct a search strategy and to find out about the difference between keywords and subject headings, and how to search databases effectively. Our results are fairly recent so we haven’t had a chance to analyse them in depth but….. We can see that the PHTY and PHCY students had a greater gain in knowledge and understanding that the Medical students. Possible reason for this is that the Medical students had a search strategy exercise earlier in the year in one of their integrated cases.
  11. This graph shows an analysis of the qualitative feedback we received from all three cohorts. We sorted the most valuable and least valuable comments into themes and then coded these themes from 1-8. From the graph we can see that students identified the tasks about research skills as the most valuable 47% (121). This was followed by specific content (eg hierarchies of evidence or referencing) 30% (49), and Library resources and services 12% (31). From the graph we can see that the least valuable aspects of the tasks were to do with specific content (eg where is the medical library), prior knowledge, and format of the course. Very few students found no value in the research skills, which is heartening! The following slides show examples of some of the qualitative comments from students – both positive and negative. We still need to compare most v least across cohorts too  NOTES Most valuable n-257, least valuable n=273 1 = Content 2 = Format 3 = Library resources & Services 4 = Research Skills 5 = Time 6 = prior knowledge 7 = no response 8 = positive / negative

  13. Make adjustments to the course based on student and staff feedback Continue with current cohorts Alternate content types eg summary document More analysis! More analysis PG v HSFY, cohort v cohort, pilot v ELM2 2012 v ELM 2013 v ELM 2014
