Steps taken to ensure the validity of the data include the use of a data dictionary, data collection tutorials, and electronic validation of incomplete or inconsistent data.
The majority of the students felt that addition of the electronic voting system to the tutorial increased the enjoyment and encouraged participation – more so than with the tutorial alone.
It is quite possible that the addition of an electronic voting system to a tutorial with a more didactic and passive tutor may have shown objective benefit in short and long term knowledge and understanding of the tutorial subjects by the students.
One group had the topic of acute abdominal pain discussed in tutorial format alone followed by the second topic of gastrointestinal haemorrhage, which was a tutorial supplemented with an electronic voting system.
The dynamics of student interactions during the tutorials with and without the electronic voting system is shown in Table 2.
In the other group, the topic of gastrointestinal haemorrhage was discussed in tutorial format with the acute abdominal pain topic tutorial following and supplemented with an electronic voting system.
The goal of this study was to measure the effects of the inclusion of an electronic voting system within a small group tutorial.
We have undertaken a study to assess the place of an electronic voting system in the dynamics of a tutorial.
Ms. Harris's visit to Mohave County was part of a monthlong trip in which she and her deputy, Andy Stephenson, traveled to 10 states, investigating flaws in electronic voting and giving on-the-fly computer security tutorials.
