title = "Bridging the gap between theory and practice: A multimedia tutorial for students of voice therapy",
abstract = "A computer-based tutorial for speech and language therapy students is described in which a digitized video-recording of a diagnostic interview with a voice-disordered client was dynamically linked to an on-screen transcript window. A student-centered tutorial package, which provided guidance through questions, assessment tasks, and commentary from an experienced speech and language pathologist as well as the lecturer in voice disorder, was constructed. Evaluation of the tutorial as an aid to active learning, including feedback from students and supervising clinicians, is reported and the role of this type of program as a preparation for clinical practice is discussed.",

note = "Funding Information: Finally, it must be emphasized that this tutorial is not considered a substitute for face-to-face contact with clients. Rather, it is one vehicle for providing opportunities for students to participate in the analysis of some of the key aspects of the interaction between clinicians and voice-disordered clients. Thus, we consider that we have found a way to bring practice into the classroom and to build a bridge between therapy and practice. As one of our students noted, {"}There's no substitute for real live clinic, but this is a good preparation.{"} Acknowledgment: This project was initially funded by the Curriculum Development Fund, University of Sheffield. The work was awarded the Partnership Trust Apple Computer UK Prize 1993: Technology for Learning in Medicine and Health and the 1993 Van Lawrence Award (British Voice Association). We wish to thank Jane Thornton, Communication Therapist, Royal Hallamshire Hospital, Sheffield, and the client (who wishes to remain anonymous) for their willing cooperation in this project.",
