Faculty earned 5 continuing education credits for completing the training. The objectives were to:
- Describe the pedagogy and andragogy features of adaptive quizzing.
- Utilize adaptive quizzing in their course once or more.
- Interpret adaptive quizzing analytics at a checkpoint and over time.
- Apply adaptive quizzing analytics to lesson planning.
- Create course-level and program-level recommendations for adaptive quizzing technology.
The results of the adaptive quizzing pilot study and faculty training program were mixed but promising. Here is an excerpt from the attached report:
Looking forward, the faculty has made two commitments. First, faculty committed to remaining alert to new adaptive quizzing product releases from Elsevier and other publishers. Faculty are willing to give adaptive quizzing another try. Second, faculty committed to keeping our original goal on the table: to identify formative strategies to enhance and track teaching and learning. Faculty are willing to investigate other NBDHE preparation options–such as a HESI, AndyRDH, and faculty monitoring–to support students.
Dental Hygiene Pilot Project on Adaptive Quizzing Final Report
The next step is finding the product that best fits our needs. This spring, my colleague Debra Trybom has begun a pilot in Clinic IV with a program called AndyRDH. If the AndyRDH program is superior to the Elsevier adaptive quizzing product, then we will collaborate to develop curricular integration and faculty training.
