Based on last year's student survey, I modified my cardiovascular pharmacology course for fall of 2012. This course was taught at the University of Findlay, College of Pharmacy. I recorded the first ten of my presentations using Camtasia software, and they were available for students to preview before coming to listen to live presentations. Since presentations were available before class, only 30 minutes were required for lecturing during class. This left time to ask students questions about important points and concepts using an “audience response system”. At the completion of this project, students were provided with a “google docs” survey that they completed anonymously. Results of the survey were extremely positive and are reported here. Fifty‐nine of the sixty‐nine students enrolled in the course completed the survey. Fifty eight percent of students had seen all 10 posted videos; twenty percent – 7 to 9 videos; nineteen percent – 4 to 6 videos; two percent – 1 to 3 videos and two percent did not see any of the posted videos.Statement # Student Statement # StudentVideo good quality 55 (95%) Helped me learn better 57 (98%)Watched video only once 39 (66%) Watched video more than once 15 (26%)Watched before class 37 (64% Watched after class 14 (24%)Watched before and after class 21 (36%) Continue future postings 57 (98%)Replayed portion of video 54 (93%) Plan to see videos not seen 37 (64%)
