The impact of teaching experimental research on-lineResearch-informed teaching and COVID [Article].pdf

As part of the BSc (Hons) Diagnostic Radiography programme students
learn and undertake research relevant to their development as first post
radiographers (dose optimisation and image quality) within the
Research-Informed Teaching experience (RiTe). Due to the COVID-19
pandemic, the delivery of RiTe to our year 2 students was moved to an
online format using Microsoft Teams and Blackboard Collaborate and
focused on a key area of current practice - COVID-19 and chest X-ray
imaging. Within RiTe students are placed into collaborative
enquiry-based learning (CEBL) groups to share tasks, but to also support
and learn from one another.

An online survey was used to explore the year 2 student cohort task value and self-efficacy of this online version of RiTe.
