YouTube Quick Cuts for Health Sciences Programs

The YouTube videos included in this PDF document will easily allow you to introduce vital signs and patient assessment skills that will assist in the delivery of complex materials with ease to explain procedures to your students. Using videos as a microlearning tool would enhance knowledge and retention by increasing the student's proficiency in the skill. Students can take notes during the videos which can be reviewed on their mobile devices or at home as they can practice along with the video. The use of adding these videos will promote online discussion amongst your students and could encourage group learning activities.

TILT Higher Ed (HTML)

The Transparency in Learning and Teaching (TILT) model provides a framework designed to enhance student success by making learning processes explicit. Developed for higher education faculty, TILT emphasizes clear communication of assignments and expectations using a structured approach that includes three key components:

  • Purpose – Explaining why the task is important and how it connects to learning goals.
  • Task – Clearly outlining what students need to do.
  • Criteria for Success – Providing specific guidelines, examples, or rubrics to help students understand expectations.

Research shows that implementing TILT improves student engagement, performance, and equity, particularly for first-generation and underrepresented students.
