Every unit is reviewed for enhancement each year. At the most recent review, the following staff and student feedback items were identified and recommendations were made.

Feedback from Student Email Feedback

Some students had issues with videos playing in some on the online quiz questions.

Review the quality of videos within the question bank and ensure they are good quality. Source new videos if quality is not of a high standard or remove videos from the online imaging quizzes to enhance the student experience.

Feedback from Student Unit Teacher Evaluation

Students enjoyed how interactive the tutorial content was and always felt welcome and safe to talk and ask questions.

Continue to provide a safe and inviting space within the tutorials and encourage students to interact.

Feedback from Unit Coordinator Self Reflection

In this units offering the expectation for students to undertake and pass all three online image interpretation quizzes was changed to an overall pass across three quizzes. This appeared to lessen the stress placed on the students and reduced the anxiety linked to this aspect of the OSCE while still motivating students to consistently review the material.

Leave the pass mark for this component at an overall pass of 50% across all three quizzes to reduce stress and anxiety and enhance the student experience.
