Abstract

With the advent of a hybrid medical school curriculum and the entry of Generation Z (Gen Z) learners into the classroom, faculty need to adopt innovative strategies to design their virtual asynchronous lectures. An hour-long prerecorded didactic lecture often results in passive learning without immediate feedback for learners. Therefore, our goal was to increase learner interactivity in a traditional prerecorded first-year medical school lecture taught asynchronously by utilizing virtual teaching tools and technologies. We successfully redesigned the traditional asynchronous lecture by implementing interactive activities using the H5P plug-in technology. Guided by the principle of "backward design," we reduced didactic lecture time by incorporating two H5P activities:
