In recent years, professors have increased their use of screencast resources, implementing a flipped classroom approach rather than a traditional learning style. This study aims to explore undergraduate students' perceptions and engagement with screencast lectures in one foundational course: SLHS 262 – Phonetics. Various studies have been conducted on the effectiveness of screencast material and the flipped classroom approach (e.g., Phillips & Wiesbauer, 2022). This study takes this idea one step further, exploring student perceptions of screencasts, student engagement with screencasts, the relationship between these variables, and how they relate to students’ expected final grade in the course. An online survey was sent to students enrolled in the Phonetics course near the end of the semester in three consecutive terms. The survey included questions about students’ engagement with screencasts and their feelings concerning the effectiveness of the screencast materials for that specific course. Data analysis is underway, but we hypothesize variable perceptions and engagement with screencasts; we further hypothesize that there is a relationship between students’ perceived importance of screencast material and the letter grade students expect to receive in the course.
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients often face significant challenges after their initial hospital stay, particularly when transitioning back into the community. Resource facilitation plays a critical role in this process by connecting patients with essential community supports, such as support groups, housing services, vocational opportunities, and social reintegration programs. These resources help individuals regain independence and improve overall quality of life.
In addition, training healthcare providers who work with TBI patients is essential for increasing awareness and effective use of these community resources. When providers are well-informed, they are better equipped to guide patients toward appropriate services. Research has shown that access to and utilization of community resources not only improves patient outcomes but also reduces societal costs, including healthcare expenses, incarceration rates, and loss of tax revenue.
