%0 Journal Article %T Does the Podcast Video Playback Speed Affect Comprehension for Novel Curriculum Delivery? A Randomized Trial %A Adam Dugan %A Amit Chakraborty %A Brian Adkins %A Christopher Doty %A Kristine Song %A Matthew Dawson %J Archive of "Western Journal of Emergency Medicine". %D 2018 %R 10.5811/westjem.2017.10.36027 %X Medical education is a rapidly evolving field that has been using new technology to improve how medical students learn. One of the recent implementations in medical education is the recording of lectures for the purpose of playback at various speeds. Though previous studies done via surveys have shown a subjective increase in the rate of knowledge acquisition when learning from sped-up lectures, no quantitative studies have measured information retention. The purpose of this study was to compare mean test scores on written assessments to objectively determine if watching a video of a recorded lecture at 1.5กม speed was significantly different than 1.0กม speed for the immediate retention of novel material %U https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5785174/
