Exploring the “Paperless” Lab – New Ideas and Novel Pedagogy

Medical Education

Research output: Contribution to conference › Poster › peer-review

Abstract

Using technology in the classroom is not a new idea, and with students being considered as ‘digital natives’, there is a real opportunity to deliver even higher quality educational experiences especially in the laboratory classroom. We conducted a pilot study of a paperless laboratory class within a first-year undergraduate course. From feedback, students liked using the new system and we will report findings here. Overall, our experience was a positive one and the use of such paperless technology offers a real opportunity to fundamentally change the way we teach laboratory classes in the future.
