“…Students using tablets and videos performed better than those who did not. Bykhovsky et al 3 and AlJamal et al 4 observed similar results in their studies evaluating the use of videos to teach pharmacy and surgery, respectively. Moreover, simulation sessions were also found to be cost effective.…”

Objective This study examined the effectiveness of teaching biochemical concepts by video in a doctor of chiropractic training program. Methods Students in a biochemistry class were taught the Krebs cycle through a video exercise and glycolysis in a traditional lecture format. They received a review of both concepts and were tested. Test performance was examined. Students answered a questionnaire following the exercise. Results There were no significant differences in test performance on the topic learned by the video exercise. However, students felt that both lecture and review were more effective learning tools than video. Conclusion Despite the results of other authors, our students preferred traditional didactic lecture with review rather than video. With no difference in test scores observed, the role of videos in our basic science course remains unclear, perhaps only used as an occasional supplement. These results were not expected, given the often-preferred use of technology by current learners.

“…Moreover, simulation sessions were also found to be cost effective. 4 A common approach to the use of videos is embedding them within a PowerPoint (Microsoft Corp, Redmond, WA) presentation. This allows students to view the videos and review them as many times as necessary.…”

“…Assessment on a 10-point checklist has demonstrated marked improvement in speed and accuracy of a cricothyrotomy by our trainees. 1,7 Our biannual assessments, the Surgical Olympics for interns and the Surgical X-Games for senior residents, comprise simulation activities which allow standardized assessment of all residents within each year and through the life of the programme. The evolution of our simulation curriculum has resulted in significantly improved overall performance of our residents across the 5-year continuum.…”

“…As a result, techniques in simulation and virtual reality have substantially improved the quality of this education. [218] Nevertheless, no study has investigated the educational benefit of Glass in neurosurgery. Glass gives residents the opportunity to review their own actions after the surgery with the attending who may provide critiques.…”

Background:We assess Google Glass (“Glass”) in improving postoperative review (“debriefing”) and augmenting education in Neurological Surgery at a tertiary academic medical center.Methods:This was a prospective study. Participants were patients of Neurological Surgery physicians at a Tertiary Care Level 1 Academic Trauma Center. Resident physicians received a pre-questionnaire immediately following surgery. Next, the resident and attending physicians debriefed by reviewing the Glass operative recording. Then, residents completed a 4-part post-questionnaire. Questions 1–3 assessed: (1) the residents’ comfort level with the procedure, (2) the quality of education provided by their superiors, and (3) their comfort level in repeating the operation. Question 4 assessed: (4) the perceived benefit of debriefing using Glass.Results:Twelve surveys were collected. Scores were based on a 5-point Likert scale, with a higher score corresponding to a more positive response. For Questions 1–3, the average pre- and post-questionnaire scores were 3.75 and 4.42, respectively (P <.05). For Question 4, the average post-questionnaire score was 4.63, suggesting that postoperative Glass review improved their technical understanding of the procedure.Conclusions:Glass significantly improved neurosurgery residents’ comfort level and quality of training, and provided a high fidelity, reliable, and modifiable tool that enhanced residents’ understanding, expertise, and educational experience. Of note, certain limitations such as variable battery life, variable image quality, and subpar compatibility with surgeon loupes must still be overcome for Glass to become a realistic addition to neurosurgical education.
