Principal Investigator: David Anekwe, Assistant Professor of Teaching / Academic Site Lead Master of Physical Therapy North, Master of Physical Therapy

Project description

This is a quality improvement project aimed at extracting the perceived enablers and barriers to effective course delivery in a distributed learning environment from instructors teaching at the UBC Master of Physical Therapy distributed program. This project will use a qualitative approach that would involve interviews of instructors who have taught in the UBC distributed Master of Physical Therapy Program. The methods will comprise four main phases: creation and piloting of interview questions, recruitment and screening of participants, data collection and transcription of interviews in several rounds, and post-hoc analysis and reporting of results.

Research questions

  • Among instructors teaching in the distributed education program of UBC MPT, what are the perceived enablers and barriers to effective course delivery in a distributed education model?
