Do active learning techniques promote higher academic performance in an online graduate anatomy course?

ABSTRACT: Human anatomy is a foundational course in graduate health professional programs. Given the increased enrollment in anatomy courses, along with the development of new technologies, institutions are increasingly compelled to provide alternative course formats, including online learning. Similarly, higher education is increasingly transitioning from traditional lecture-based learning to methods that allow students to actively participate in their own learning process (i.e., active learning). Active learning has been shown to have many benefits, including enhanced academic performance. Few studies have investigated the impact of active learning techniques on students' academic performance in online graduate anatomy courses. This study investigates differences in examination performance followi
