What prompted you to begin using Go?

“The abrupt transition to online learning following the pandemic of 2020 combined with student feedback on the desire for more exposure to electronic documentation prompted me to investigate Go.”

IMPLEMENTATION

I integrated Go into my course by designing several assignments, including a final examination, which required students to learn about various patients from their electronic health records.

Students loved using Go throughout the course. Here are some comments:“Developed better documentation skills”“More comfortable and familiar with documenting”“I feel like I gained a lot of knowledge in regards to documentation”
