Abstract

This presentation will focus on the findings of a research study designed to evaluate different modes of course delivery in a Genitourinary Sonography course. The purpose of the study was two-fold, first to determine if the mode of delivery (traditional, on-line, flipped) affects student satisfaction in a genitourinary sonography course and second to evaluate overall course outcomes.

The study reviewed current data over a 9-year period from a single sonography course offered in the spring semester of a 12-month Bachelor of Science health professions program. During the first three years (2010- 2012), the course was offered in a traditional, lecture style format. From 2013-2015, the course switched to a totally on-line format and then from 2016-2018 a flipped classroom format was utilized. Data was compiled and compared between the three styles using course evaluations and student outcomes. Assessment of student perceptions and outcomes noted mixed results in regard to the different modes of delivery utilized.
