PURPOSE: Teaching complex psychomotor skills to physical therapy students located on two separate campuses requires the development of teaching tools that facilitate interactivity and independent practice. The purpose of this presentation is to outline the development of a new multimedia product used as an adjunct for teaching orthopedic special tests for specific anatomical regions of the body in a physical therapy curriculum. TARGET AUDIENCE: This product is intended to be primarily used by first year physical therapy professional students. Secondary target audiences include second and third year physical therapy students interested in reviewing tests prior to clinical experiences and exams and physical therapists wanting to review exam procedures with which they have become unfamiliar. PROGRAM DESIGN: This program is designed for students with different learning styles. Each anatomical region has its own index page, with the special tests applied at that region listed. Individual background colors distinguish the techniques of one region from those of another. Written text and video with audio give the learner a variety of media to use to enhance learning. Each area also includes quiz items so the learner can perform a self assessment at any time. Hyperlinks are provided throughout the product for ease of movement among techniques. DEVELOPMENT PROCESS: The authors worked closely to develop and implement a plan for production. English and Harrison served as creators, content experts and models for the video. Burris, Hammon and DeVrieze served as videographers, video editors and video compressors making the videos with audio useable within the PowerPoint format. Lynch and Clark served as the program coordinators who put together the PowerPoint presentation, chose the background art, color schemes and designed each page used in the product. Alpha and beta tests were done with current PT students who gave valuable feedback to the team. After changes were made, the product was completed and the CD was burned so the program could be used in class and as a study guide. BENEFITS: This product is used as an adjunct for learning by students after initial instruction is given during laboratory experiences by faculty. Students view the proper application of the tests and read descriptions and uses of each test. Many students use the product in preparation for practical exams and prior to clinical experiences. The distant site students benefit greatly since the Lexington based faculty is not as available for spontaneous consultation. EQUIPMENT: An IBM-compatible PC with CD-ROM drive, Windows 95 or 98 and 16 bit speed is required to use this product.
