An interventional study of Medical Education and Medical Intervention in Educational Problems, sponsored by Carrick Institute for Graduate Studies. Completed. Open to participants aged 21 Years to 75 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2017-03-14.
Sponsored by Carrick Institute for Graduate Studies · Not applicable, Interventional, and Health services research
To test whether the investigator's educational methodology is associated with increasing learning of participants. The investigators second objective is to test the hypothesis that learning in an online classroom would result in similar outcomes as the traditional classroom.
Subjects will be randomized into a "control" group attending a traditional classroom and a "trial" group of equal numbers participating in an online synchronous Internet streaming classroom.
Main outcome measures: Pre and post multiple choice examinations of Vestibulo-Ocular Reflex (VOR), Movement, Head Turns, Head Tremor, Neurodegeneration, Inferior Olivary Complex, Collateral Projections, Eye Movement Training, Visual Saccades, Head Saccades, Visual Impairment, Walking Speed, Neuroprotection, Autophagy, Hyperkinetic Movement, Eye and Head Stability, Oscilllatory Head Movements, Gaze Stability, Leaky Neural Integrator, Cervical Dystonia, Interstitial Nucleus of Cajal (INC) and Head Tilts, Visual Pursuits, Optokinetic Stimulation, Vestibular Rehabilitation.
Methods: All candidates will take a pretest examination of the subject material. Two 9-hour and one 8-hour sessions over 3 consecutive days will be given live in the classroom or synchronously in the online classroom using the Adobe Connect e-learning platform. Subjects randomized to the online classroom will attend the lectures in a location of their choice and will view the sessions live on the Internet. A posttest examination will be given to all candidates after completion of the course.

All candidates in the Active Comparator: Traditional Classroom will take a pre course test of the subject material followed by two 9-hour and one 8-hour educational sessions given over 3 consecutive days. Following the educational sessions all candidates in the Active Comparator: Traditional Classroom will take a post course test.
All candidates in the Experimental: Online Synchronous Classroom will take a pre course test of the subject material followed by two 9-hour and one 8-hour educational sessions given over 3 consecutive days. Following the educational sessions all candidates in theExperimental: Online Synchronous Classroom will take a post course test.
