Abstract

We investigated the feasibility and effectiveness of virtual team-based learning (TBL) in teaching neurolocalisation (NL) in a sample of 18 student volunteers. Student satisfaction and knowledge outcomes were evaluated using the modified TBL Student Assessment Instrument and Extended Matching Questionnaire (EMQ), respectively. Mean student satisfaction rating was good at 3.9 out of 5.0 (SD 0.3). Participants achieved high mean EMQ scores of 84.2% (SD 2.9) with moderate correlation between individual assessment scores and EMQ scores (ρ = 0.587, p = 0.01). Virtual TBL is feasible for teaching NL with good student satisfaction and knowledge outcomes.

Keywords: extended matching questionnaire; neuroanatomical localisation; neurology education; online learning; virtual team-based learning.
