Polling and forms

Microsoft Forms is included in M365, and can be used as an audience response system, for collecting information about trainees prior to their start, for collecting midpoint or final feedback, or as a metacognitive practice for learners. Each of the forms below can be copied into your own M365 account, be sure to login to Forms with your medical center credentials.

Example forms

Microsoft Forms features are best suited to simple surveys; see the steps for polling with Microsoft Forms. If you are looking for more robust survey tools, another university supported tool may be a better fit.

Qualtrics allows for complex surveys, branching logic, and more advanced notifications. To get started with Qualtrics, ​request an upgraded account through the Office of Curriculum and Scholarship. ​

Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap) is the most feature rich survey tool and it allows for longitudinal data collection, and is approved for PHI with IRB approval.​ Learn more and request an account through the Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI) and the Department of Research Information Technology (RIT).

Asynchronous resources at OSUMC and OSU

Anna Bizsaha, Research and Education Librarian at the Health Sciences Library, compiled the following resources and instructions:

ClinicalKey

ClinicalKey provides a large variety of procedural videos.  To see the full list of options in this resource, follow the steps below.

  1. From the HSL webpage, click on ClinicalKey under Top Resources on the right-hand side of the screen
  2. On the ClinicalKey homepage, if you scroll down a bit you should see a box called “Procedure Videos”.  This will take you to an alphabetical list of all Procedure Videos available in this platform.
  3. Alternatively, if you search for a specific topic (e.g. hysterectomy) in the main search box, you can limit to Procedure Videos by expanding out the Source Type filters on the left-hand side of the screen.

AccessSurgery

Another resource that you may want to take a look at is AccessSurgery (as well as the other Access Products). To access these videos:

  1. From the HSL webpage, click on Access Databases: McGraw Hill under Top Resources on the right-hand side of the screen
  2. From their landing page, you can select which Access resource you would like to use.  For this audience, most likely AccessSurgery, but you could explore others as well.
  3. Within AccessSurgery, you can use the menu at the top to view different Multimedia resources, including Videos, the Behind the Knife podcast, and 3D Surgical Animations (although they currently appear to only have a thyroidectomy).
  4. Depending on what procedure you are interested in, you may also want to explore some of the other Access products as the content can vary.

JoVE (Journal of Visual Experiments)

This is another resource that contains some procedural videos that could be of interest.  They have different sections, and we don’t subscribe to all of them, but we do have JoVE Medicine, which appears to have some procedural videos.

  1. The easiest route is likely to do a search for JoVE under the eJournals tab at the top right-hand corner of the HSL webpage.
  2. This will bring up a list of all the JoVE titles, and if you scroll down you should see JoVE Medicine
  3. Once you have accessed JoVE Medicine, you can either scroll through and browse the videos available, or perform a keyword search at the top of the screen.
  4. Of note, not all videos here will be surgical procedures, but from a quick glance they appeared to have some.

Henry Stewart Talks

This resource doesn’t really have procedural videos, but they do have other types of videos and lectures that could potentially be of interest, depending on what these faculty are looking for, so I thought I would include it just in case.

  1. From the HSL webpage, click on Health Sciences Databases under Top Resources on the right-hand side of the screen
  2. Scroll through the list to the B’s to select “Biomedical & Life Sciences Collection: Henry Steward Talks”

UpToDate

Find UpToDate on the Top Resources section on the right side of the Health Sciences Library webpage, or bookmark the link to redirect to UpToDate through the library. To register for an institutional account and access UpToDate through the mobile app, visit the registration page.

LinkedIn Learning

LinkedIn Learning is provided by Human Resources at OSU. Though not a clinical resource, LinkedIn Learning has an extensive library of videos covering business and software tools, career development, DEI, finance and accounting, human resources, leadership and management, marketing, professional development, project management, small business and entrepreneurship, & training and education.

Six click tricks

Here are the steps presented as part of my Academy of Teaching Conference presentation on making the most of PowerPoint for sharing slides. Note that these instructions are for Microsoft 365 on Windows.  These tricks aren’t available in PowerPoint for the web, but did you know you can access the desktop version of PowerPoint in your browser via the university’s virtual desktop?

Compress pictures

High resolution images, like those you can access through Ohio State’s unlimited Adobe Stock license, can add up to a very large PowerPoint file size. To make sharing slides faster and easier for recipients, you can compress images to reduce file size. Don’t worry, your slides will still look great and be easy to view.

I find the “web” resolution works great for keeping images clear, while also reducing the file size such that it can be sent via email. Faculty and staff email attachments are capped at 20MB.

Click OK

Presentation Notes

Removing presentation notes is a great way to make space for your audience to put their own thoughts into the Notes section as they listen to your talk. Make sure you save a copy of your presentation with notes separately, so that you keep your presenter notes in your version! I always have two versions of my slides, one named “Title of Talk_PRESENT.pptx” that I keep my notes in, and one named “Title of Talk.pptx” to share.
