#CMEchat 43 - The role of feedback in CME
Thanks to all who joined our 43rd #CMEchat. We had a very practical discussion about how to integrate best practices to leverage feedback in our CME activities - lots of agreement that feedback begets reflection which begets more robust learning and behavior change.
Our discussion was driven by the following topics:
T1 – What is your favorite adult learning principle? In other what is your favorite learning ‘adage’? #CMEchat
T2 – Why is feedback so important in learning? #CMEchat
T3 – What are the best approaches to providing feedback in live educational activities? For groups of 10? 50? 100+? #CMEchat
T4 – What are the best approaches of providing feedback in asynchronous educational activities? Print? Online? Mobile? #CMEchat
T5 – Are there best practices for building small groups, cohorts, or communities of learners? #CMEchat

BrianSMcGowan T5 - 70% of communities never grow b/c of systems failures. 20% fail b/c of lack of common vision. only ~10% grow and thrive. #CMEchat
dean_jenkins @theCMEguy yes branches (remedial circuits) in programmed learning or more sophisticated modelling as well. Feedback as adaption. #CMEchat
theCMEguy @BrianSMcGowan Agree. Have seen many communities fail for this reason. They were built simply cuz it seemed like thing to do #cmechat
CMEChat The real impact of the #CMEchat lies in your action - please engage others to participate & take action on things your have learned! G’day!
CMEChat As we get wrap up, please vote for the tweet of the day (#TOTD) seen during this week's #CMEchat.
CMEChat Thx for participating in #CMEchat. Discussions herein are assumed 2 b personal opinion & not that of current, past, or future employers.
BrianSMcGowan T5 - if you expect this community of learners to adapt to a new environment AND behave differently you are stacking the next...#CMEchat
dean_jenkins @BrianSMcGowan yes connectivism in as much as your open reflections are feedback for others I suppose. #CMEchat
BrianSMcGowan #TOTY RT @CMEGrupe: What R the elements that have made #CMEChat successful? Seems like this is the perfect demonstration project for T5.
BrianSMcGowan t5 - if you try to build a community of learners without a simple and rock solid value proposition you will fail... #CMEchat
theCMEguy @dean_jenkins So similar to branched learning then? #cmechat
CMEGrupe What are the elements that have made #CMEChat successful? Seems like this is the perfect demonstration project for T5...
BrianSMcGowan @dean_jenkins - adaptive branching? #CMEchat
BrianSMcGowan T5 - i believe that the difference b/w a network and a community is the shared goal or collective intent, engineers must nail this #CMEchat
dean_jenkins @theCMEguy machine learning as the computer makes suggestions for you based on your performance. Could be simple or very complex. #CMEchat
BrianSMcGowan T5 - seems like a natural progression from feedback and reflection to social learning and connectivism (@dean_jenkins ??) #CMEchat
theCMEguy “@BrianSMcGowan: t4 - anyone every create a CME cross-word puzzle...#brainstroming #CMEchat†>> Yes! Was a long time ago though...
BrianSMcGowan @theCMEguy - error code 404 #cmechat #notthesmartestguyintheroom
theCMEguy @dean_jenkins OK...you got me with "machine learning". Definition? #cmechat #notthesmartestguyintheroom
CMEChat T5 – Are there best practices for building small groups or communities of learners? (to support feedback & social learning) #CMEchat
BrianSMcGowan t4 - anyone every create a CME cross-word puzzle...#brainstroming #CMEchat
dean_jenkins T4 ways of providing feedback to learners in asynchronous online activities include analysis, machine learning, and social linking #CMEchat
BrianSMcGowan @BrianSMcGowan - but who doesn't like a challenge...that is at the heart of science...lets collect the data #CMEchat
theCMEguy @BrianSMcGowan See my last tweet... #cmechat
BrianSMcGowan t2-4 is it fair to say that all of the benefits of feedback are really derived from the subsequent reflection? #CMEchat
BrianSMcGowan T4 - ideas for print? there is a sophisticated use of grammar & context that can be used to drive reflection in print. #CMEchat
jjuch @briansmcgowan:"spacing and testing is a proven strategy to support learning" challenge is keeping learners participating over time #CMECHAT
theCMEguy T4: Anyone ever offer to send outcomes summary to participants of CME? May be a form of feedback for print activities... #cmechat
BrianSMcGowan agreed. RT @theCMEguy: @rmtyner Not necessarily. Some auto email responses to comments. Have to come back to respond, tho. #cmechat
BrianSMcGowan t4 - engineer questions and answers that evolve over time...spacing and testing is a proven strategy to support learning #CMEchat
theCMEguy @rmtyner Not necessarily. Some auto email responses to comments. Have to come back to respond, tho. #cmechat
BrianSMcGowan @reginamotarjeme - every topic can be polled....so that lectures almost become mind-mapping or treasure map experiences...flexible #cmechat
rmtyner @theCMEguy i love that idea - but the challenge that I come up with is the learners have to keep coming back #CMEchat
BrianSMcGowan T4 - the interactivity of the web formats make this a special case...for feedback can be engineered in a myriad of ways #CMEchat
reginamotarjeme have not done live meetings in a long time, gamifying sounds intriguing, please xpand #cmechat
rmtyner @BrianSMcGowan blame it on the DayQuil #CMEchat
theCMEguy T4: I talk about this a lot but...opening comments for online activities. Moderated comments = 2 way feedback #cmechat
BrianSMcGowan @rmtyner - we have not raised topic T$ yet...#CMEchat
CMEChat T4 – What are the best approaches of providing feedback in asynchronous educational activities? Print? Online? Mobile? #CMEchat
theCMEguy “@BrianSMcGowan: T3 - gamifying a room is a great approach to layering constant feedback #CMEchat†>> need to avoid the "cheesy factor"
BrianSMcGowan t3 if you wield 'feedback' like a hammer, you will inevitably find those who would run for the exits. #FeedbackFatigue #CMEchat
jjuch @theCMEguy T3: "...walked out of a prez because heard the words "small group discussion"? Agree. Need to be in right frame of mind #CMECHAT
BrianSMcGowan T3 - gamifying a room is a great approach to layering constant feedback into a room #CMEchat - the energy is a form of feedback.
theCMEguy @BrianSMcGowan Agreed! #cmechat
theCMEguy T3: How many times have you walked out of a prez because heard the words "small group discussion"? #guiltilyraiseshand #cmechat
dean_jenkins T3 feedback to large groups with 'normative' information, consensus views, plenaries, quantitative assessments (quizzes) are good. #CMEchat
BrianSMcGowan t3 - can we all agree that ARS can be used in several ways, but many times it serves no purpose and distracts. #CMEchat
jjuch T3: ARS is good but even that is underused by learners in large rooms. Larger # of people, more creative/engaging need to make ARS #CMECHAT
BrianSMcGowan t3 - interacting in small groups is theoretically sound/superior...but the individuals must be committed to the activity...#CMEchat
theCMEguy T3: ARS is one way to gather feedback in large group setting. Trouble is, so many presenters dont know what to do w/ it #cmechat
BrianSMcGowan t3 - not exactly a best practice, but i've seen rooms where no one is interested in 'sharing and feedback' - must know the learners #CMEchat
BrianSMcGowan especially w/ peer feedback RT @dean_jenkins: T2 feedback can be very destructive to learning though if delivered in the wrong way. #CMEchat
BrianSMcGowan t3 - it is important to think through practical approaches for live learning...careful to push feedback off on the learners/peers. #CMEchat
theCMEguy T3: Had my first experience getting feedback from Twitter while presenting at #acehp12. Fantastic to have instantaneous feedback #cmechat
dean_jenkins T2 feedback can be very destructive to learning though if delivered in the wrong way. #CMEchat
timclynch T2 how often do you elicit qualitative and quantitative feedback? Anyone else encounter barriers to explore beyond the CME eval? #cmechat
MedPedsDoctor Some suggest millenial generation needs explicit feedback on behaviors, & need to point out "I am giving you feedback" now. #CMEchat
CMEChat T3 – What are the best approaches to providing feedback in live educational activities? For groups of 10? 50? 100+? #CMEchat
BrianSMcGowan does anyone get hungry when they talk about 'feed'back right before lunch...#CMEchat
MedPedsDoctor Feedback for me: next time, put the #cmechat on the calendar. Gotta run: 11:30 meeting. chat well, my friends! #CMEchat
BrianSMcGowan T2- what have we learned about the how feedback effects learning? validation, affirmation, recognition..what else? #CMEchat
YogAlicia3 #cmechat Late, lurking, and lunching. Alicia here.
BrianSMcGowan Good Job Alex! RT @MedPedsDoctor: Feedback on feedback: love topic. Studied (and done it) up, down, left, right, & every other way. #CMEchat
MedPedsDoctor Feedback on feedback: love this topic. Studied (and done it) up, down, left, right, & every other way. #CMEchat
reginamotarjeme agreed! RT @medpedsdoctor: Feedback is formative, NOT summative. It can guide summative, but is not summative #CMEchat
BrianSMcGowan imagery! RT @rmtyner: knee deep in Piaget and Knowles...ts #CMEchat
rmtyner t2 feedback is critical from learning from mistakes #CMEchat
timclynch Amen RT @dean_jenkins: T2 feedback IS learning. #cmechat
BrianSMcGowan @MedPedsDoctor - my bad...typed the wrong word...i meant pulse-check ie, formative.. #CMEchat
dean_jenkins T2 feedback IS learning. #CMEchat
BrianSMcGowan i think of this rather simply...effective feedback from faculty or peers is at the heart of formative assessment. #CMEchat #pulseCheck
timclynch T2: Feedback is a main component in the E of ADDIE, #cmechat
rmtyner don't get me wrong… knee deep in Piaget and Knowles very different approaches to learning in children and adults #CMEchat
MedPedsDoctor Formative vs summative feedback: t.co/MXHrQaT8 #CMEchat
BrianSMcGowan t2 - the longer the period without feedback, the more onus on learners to self-assess...and this is never effective. #CMEchat
MedPedsDoctor @BrianSMcGowan I will challenge the statement. Feedback is formative, NOT summative. It can guide summative, but is not summative #CMEchat
reginamotarjeme RT @cmechat: T2 – so your teaching is in line with the learners need #CMEchat
MedPedsDoctor Great recent "giving feedback" article: t.co/UBNQIbOF #CMEchat
dean_jenkins @rmtyner but sometimes being 'paternal' or proscriptive is exactly what's needed. #CMEchat
rmtyner @BrianSMcGowan some distinct differences in pedagogy and andragogy #CMEchat
CMEChat T2 – Why is feedback so important in learning? #CMEchat
BrianSMcGowan @rmtyner - but the differences are so hard to pin down and transient...in both cases adults and children #theydontlikethat #CMEchat
dean_jenkins T1 always aim for high learning outcomes. #CMEchat
rmtyner @dean_jenkins IMO with adults there is more to consider when teaching - can't treat adults like children #theydontlikethat #CMEchat
BrianSMcGowan so far we have gotten some great 'feedback' and I feel like I am 'learning' a lot ;-) #CMEchat
MedPedsDoctor T1. "Tell 'em what you're gonna tell 'em, then tell 'em, then tell 'em what you told 'em." #isthatalearningprinciple #CMEchat
BrianSMcGowan agree. RT @dean_jenkins: T1 there's no such thing as adult learners or 'child's learners. There's always a bit of both. #CMEchat
BrianSMcGowan T1- i have seen little to convince me about learning styles...or this nonsense about 10% of what you read, 20% of what you hear #CMEchat
MedPedsDoctor T1. "Focus on the learner(s), not on the teacher." #CMEchat
dean_jenkins T1 there's no such thing as adult learners or 'child's learners. There's always a bit of both. #CMEchat
CMEGrupe Excited to be joining for my 3rd #CMEChat in a row! T1 - I actually used "Begin with the end in mind" in a conversation just this morning.
BrianSMcGowan T1 - i also like the adage: "see one do one teach one" #CMEchat
theCMEguy @BrianSMcGowan some are. Some...not so much. #CMEchat
BrianSMcGowan T1 - as for my favorite ALP - probably has to do with cognitive dissonance...and norming w/ peers #CMEchat
rmtyner @BrianSMcGowan how do they know what they don't know?? #CMEchat
dean_jenkins Dean Jenkins here from UK. Always taking my feedback on the chin. Smile and wave. #CMEchat
BrianSMcGowan t1 - i have thought about my least favorite adult learning principle —-> 'adults are self directed' {were this only true...} #CMEchat
rmtyner T1 I love "Test and Teach" it primes the learner #CMEchat
BrianSMcGowan mr mom! RT @theCMEguy: @MedPedsDoctor I'm also trying to get a 4 y/o a snack. She has a shocking lack of interest in #CMEchat
CMEChat T1 – What is your favorite adult learning principle? In other words...what is your favorite learning ‘adage’? #CMEchat
reginamotarjeme Regina from Denver, finally made it in time #cmechat
theCMEguy @MedPedsDoctor I'm also trying to get a 4 y/o a snack. She has a shocking lack of interest in #CMEchat
BrianSMcGowan hard to believe we have been doing this for 10 months... #CMEchat
