Text activity

Scenario:

Medical students complete "signup" sessions in wards and clinics within
the hospital. These are voluntary sessions and students may complete any
number of them.

The plan is to allow the students to text in their feedback to a central
point - this could include learning points, rating and any other relevant
info. The use of text message will force the student to be concise and to
the point.

During traditional tutorial sessions, the amalgamated feedback is used for
discusion and further exploratory learning. This should stimulate
higher-level thinking amongst the students, rather than simply treating
the signups as an information gathering exercise.

Additionally, the feedback can be used for quality audit purposes to
ensure constant improvement and review.
