Voice in Digital Education: The Impact of Instructor's Perceived Age and Gender on Student Learning and Evaluation
Jennifer Stratford
Abstract\nInstructor evaluations are influenced by implicit age and gender bias
with lower ratings and negative feedback given to instructors believed to stray from stereotypical age and gender norms. Female instructors exhibiting typically male‐associated qualities such as leadership and authority
are often negatively impacted. Implicit bias also influences evaluation of digital resources and instructors
regardless of students’ positive learning outcomes. As digital learning resources become the norm in education
it is crucial to explore the impact of implicit bias at various educational levels. In this study
undergraduate and graduate students were randomly exposed to one of five digital tutorials; four experimental tutorials presenting identical anatomy content with narrators of different gender and age
and a control tutorial featuring origami (paper folding) instructions without audio. Learning outcomes were measured by pre‐quiz vs. post‐quiz comparisons using Repeated‐Measures MANOVA. Implicit bias was analyzed by evaluation response comparisons using Repeated‐Measures MANOVA and three‐way MANOVA. Post‐quiz scores increased significantly in the four experimental groups (P < 0.05) but not in the control (P = 0.99). The increased performance was not statistically different across the four experimental groups (P > 0.26)
suggesting that learning occurred irrespective of the instructor gender and age. Students’ evaluations were consistently higher for the experimental resources than the control. There was no significant difference in evaluations across the four experimental groups but compared to the control
younger male and younger female narrators received significantly higher ratings for approachability
acceptance
inclusivity and care for student learning. The study highlights important considerations for digital resources development and interpretation of student evaluations.

Gender and age bias is well-documented in academia with many studies demonstrating bias in students' evaluations of instructors. Failure of an instructor to meet gender or age-based expectations can translate to lower scores or negative comments on evaluations. While there is some evidence of bias in students' evaluations of online instructors
current studies have not fully examined the relationship between bias and instructor vocal characteristics. First-year dental students at two institutions were randomly assigned one of four videos on spinal cord anatomy to view. Videos contained identical content but were narrated by individuals of different gender and age (younger man
younger woman
older man
older woman). Students completed a content-based prequiz
watched the video
completed a postquiz
and answered a questionnaire evaluating the video and instructor. Students at Institution A rated the younger man and younger woman highest for nearly every evaluation category. At Institution B students rated the older man and younger woman highest. Results reveal that the older woman's voice received the lowest rankings for nearly every question in both samples. This report confirms the presence of gender and age bias in student evaluations of instructors in an online environment and demonstrates that bias may surface in response to vocal characteristics. Bias may impact older women more significantly than other groups. Differences in results from Institution A and Institution B suggest that factors affecting student perceptions of instructors
and the roles that gender and age bias may play in student evaluations
are complex and may be contextual. Anat Sci Educ. © 2016 American Association of Anatomists.
Dissecting the voice: Health Professions students' perceptions of instructor age and gender in an online environment and the impact on evaluations for faculty

Histology is a fundamental subject in health science education. The highly visual nature of the subject and its costly requirements (lab space
equipment and demanding instructor contact hours) have resulted in limited course offerings and hindered the progress to convert histology into an effective online course that complies with the Quality Matters (http://www.qmprogram.org/) standards
a set of best practice criteria for online course design by which the quality of the course may become certified via faculty-centered peer review process. With the advancement of technologies such as microscope simulators and course management systems
a stand-alone online histology course is becoming closer to realization. With the ultimate goal of establishing a stand-alone histology course that meets all Quality Matters standards
we report here
results of a qualitative assessment of students’ experience with previous histology courses
virtual laboratory
and their expectations for a potential stand-alone online histology course. These results can be categorized into four themes that recommend corresponding functions to be included in an online histology course: 1) interactivity; 2) self-assessment; 3) multimedia support; and 4) access to peer and instructors via social media. Our findings provide a valuable insight into students’ expectations based on their comfort level and experience with technology and histology course. \nKey words: e-Learning

Students’ Expectations of an Online Histology Course: a Qualitative Study
Douglas J Gould
Social networking applications have become a ubiquitous part of daily life
especially for the current generation of students. Use of the social networking application
Twitter™
for education is explored in the current study. During a year-long
integrated basic science course
the instructors tweeted a multiple-choice question relating to course content after each lecture
followed by another tweet with the correct answer the following day. A Twitter™ link was made available to first- and second-year dental students with an option to sign up for “push” notifications on their smartphones. The second-year students were invited to take a pre-quiz before the Twitter™ feeds started and then a post-quiz 10 weeks later to attempt to quantify the educational value of the tweets. Further
students were invited to take a survey to measure their perception of the overall value of Twitter™ as an educational tool and to obtain their opinion on the usability of a social networking application for educational purposes. Results indicate that (1) students were not familiar with Twitter™ and voiced their desire for anatomy feeds through Facebook™ initially
(2) many students did not have Twitter™ accounts and had to create one
(3) second-year students preferred to have tweets “pushed” to their phones while most of the first-year students preferred to visit the Twitter™ site before course assessments
(4) most students found the Twitter™ feeds to be a good educational resource and planned to continue following the feeds
and (5) Twitter™ feeds complemented the second-year students’ ability to recall course material.

Abstract\nHistology is a visually oriented
foundational anatomical sciences subject in professional health curricula that has seen a dramatic reduction in educational contact hours and an increase in content migration to a digital platform. While the digital migration of histology laboratories has transformed histology education
few studies have shown the impact of this change on visual literacy development
a critical competency in histology. The objective of this study was to assess whether providing a video clip of an expert's gaze while completing leukocyte identification tasks would increase the efficiency and performance of novices completing similar identification tasks. In a randomized study
one group of novices (n = 9) was provided with training materials that included expert eye gaze
while the other group (n = 12) was provided training materials with identical content
but without the expert eye gaze. Eye movement parameters including fixation rate and total scan path distance
and performance measures including time-to-task-completion and accuracy
were collected during an identification task assessment. Compared to the control group
the average fixation duration was 13.2% higher (P < 0.02) and scan path distance was 35.0% shorter in the experimental group (P = 0.14). Analysis of task performance measures revealed no significant difference between the groups. These preliminary results suggest a more efficient search performed by the experimental group
indicating the potential efficacy of training using an expert's gaze to enhance visual literacy development. With further investigation
such feedforward enhanced training methods could be utilized for histology and other visually oriented subjects.
