Use of Technology to Enhance Physiotherapy Education
Research Platforms
Program Evaluation and Curriculum Development
Research Overview
Professor Coleman’s education scholarship focuses understanding how physiotherapist and other health professions learners self-regulate their learning successfully using technology. Her work looks to understand how technology and other learning modalities can be leveraged to support students to regulate their effort towards learning, particularly when content may be perceived as less relevant or interesting. She endeavours to design high quality instructional materials to support the above goal.
Research Projects
Effort Regulation in On-line Learning
A series of studies to gather evidence on a model of effort regulation examining the role of discrepancy identification and opportunity/cost appraisals in effort allocation in on-line learning.
What is Good Communication
This retrospective review of student reflection following challenging conversations in physiotherapy virtual simulation explores how novice physiotherapy learners conceptualize good communication.
Leveling Up: Developing a Scaffold for Oxygen Titration Decisions
A graduate education innovation fund (GEIF) which aims to develop a scaffold to support physiotherapy learners to make safe and effective oxygen titration decisions.
