This solution was delivered by module leader Steven\u00a0Fenby\u00a0and Dr Marjorie Wilson and in the\u00a0SoHSC\u00a0on\u00a0a level 5 module titled ‘Introduction to Physiology for Physiotherapists\u2019. The module ran during semester one with\u00a0a cohort of 60 students.<\/p>\n
This is a\u00a0fast paced\u00a0module with lots of new and challenging content each week.\u202f In a\u00a0large class students\u00a0require individual support to help them\u00a0comprehend new concepts each week. This created a\u00a0need\u00a0for\u00a0a\u00a0safe\u00a0space for students\u00a0to ask questions and receive answers both in class and at a distance.<\/p>\n
How the solution was provided\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h6>\nA Q&A\u00a0board\u00a0was\u00a0created with Padlet<\/a>.\u00a0 Padlet allows for the creation of project walls to share resources and collaborate with others via posting text and media to the wall. Posts can be\u00a0anonymous\u00a0and walls can be shared easily via a link or embedding within a Blackboard module.<\/p>\nThe benefits\u00a0of providing\u00a0Q&As\u00a0for the students are numerous as\u00a0anonymous\u00a0questions can be answered quickly and are viewable by all.\u00a0Links to further information and resources\u00a0can be\u00a0posted by both tutors and students in reply to questions.<\/p>\n
