"Overall, medical student respondents, including many who do not play video games, held highly favorable views about the use of video games and related new media technology in medical education.

"In conclusion, a relatively small percentage of students use multimedia (audio and video) that are provided as a duplication of lectures in the basic sciences. The distribution of frequency of access of both video and audio files was consistent across the various courses offered in the first two years of medical school. There were significant correlations in the frequencies with which individual students viewed videos of lectures from course-to-course. Finally, there was a trend for an inverse association between the frequencies with which students viewed lectures and the grades they received in the course. This is an important observation that requires further investigation since it may be indicative of a maladaptive learning strategy for some students. It also does not exclude the possibility that additional computer-aided resources may be detrimental to some students.
