Methods for completing modules: à Focusing on the UP Health Literacy Module Facilitators Guide: Assist with delivery of WWAMI in-person modules Most students Faculty facilitated Faculty led complete modules interactive module discussion session online session

Small Group Activity • Break up into three groups – Asynchonous minimodule – Facilitated minimodule – In-person activity • Debrief from small group activity

Need for more distance learning options Barriers to WWAMI In-person sessions • Limited time for students to complete modules • Time constraints on faculty • Students are geographically spread out Needed more content delivery tools… • ZOOM: – Online conferencing technology similar to Adobe Connect – Up to 50 participants – Limitations for small group breakout sessions

Future Plans: • Continue to recruit more regional faculty to run WWAMI In-person sessions • Gather more data and do more formal analysis • Work with UWSOM IT to test new conferencing technologies available for engaging students • Request additional features directly to ZOOM software engineers.
