Developing an Engagement Score Algorithm for Virtual Patient Cases

This study aims to develop and validate a computer-generated dynamic engagement score based on student interactions with virtual patient cases. The goal is to understand the factors that promote cognitive engagement in virtual learning environments.

  4. By engagement we mean: " the extent to which students are willing and able to take on the learning task at hand.” or "the learner actively engages in cognitive processes for learning.” Our focus is cognitive engagement

  9. Development and Validation of an Engagement Metric for Virtual Patient Cases Norm Berman, MD, Anthony Artino, PhD Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth and Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences BACKGROUND Isolated online environments require learner autonomy and may not inherently foster learner cognitive engagement. Many clerkship directors are using time on case as an indicator of engagement, but empirical evidence suggests this approach is not optimal. Little is known about the factors in a virtual patient (VP) case that will promote cognitive engagement, which we define as “the degree to which students are willing and able to take on the learning task at hand.” OBJECTIVES To develop and validate a computer-generated dynamic engagement score based on student interactions with MedU VP cases.
