Qualitative data were generated with video interviews.
All of the students interviewed indicated
Prezi and Popplet were easy tools to use and
did not cause them difficulty in completing the
assignments. Three of five students interviewed
had used the Prezi study guide often and found it
useful for studying lab equipment outside of the
classroom. These students also said it helped
build their confidence for studying the 12-step
console procedure. Two students indicated they
had not used the study guide. These students
said they preferred the hands-on experience offered
in the lab and simply did not need to use
the Prezi to feel confident. Most of the students
interviewed said the feedback from the instructor
was valuable to help build their confidence. One
student was able to create the Popplet flowchart
correctly and did not require formative feedback.
