ANALYSIS OF A NEW NEUROSCIENCE MULTIMEDIA PRODUCT – VARIABILITY OF OPINION BASED ON DEMOGRAPHICS

Douglas J. Gould, Ph.D.*, Jo E. Fleming, Ph.D.1 and Barbara Groves, M.A.1, *Department of Anatomy and Neurobiology, University of Kentucky College of Medicine, Lexington, KY 40536-0298 U.S.A. and 1ORCCA Technology, Lexington, KY 40507 U.S.A.

The objective of the present study is to report on the analysis the results of a Usability Study conducted on a new neuroanatomy multimedia learning tool – Anatomy of the Central Nervous System: A Multimedia Course.  The program, funded by a Phase I Small Business Innovative Research grant from the National Institutes of Health is designed to serve as a stand-alone programmed-learning tutorial for graduate-level neuroscience instruction.  It makes use of a programmed learning sequence and the latest in multimedia technologies to lead the user through an integrated study of multiple aspects of the Central Nervous System.  The Usability Study was completed in 2004 and involved 77 faculty members and students from around the world.  Demographic data was gathered along with feedback specific to the program. This study reports the similarities and differences in feedback based on five demographic parameters: 1) faculty vs. student, 2) age, 3) gender, 4) ethnicity and 5) area of focus.  The results of the analysis of this demographic data will be considered when planning future multimedia programs.  The project is supported by N.I.H. grant #1R41NS40588-01A1.
