"Patients and clinicians share why it's important to ask questions and offer ways that you can ask questions and get your health care needs met. In these short, compelling videos, patients talk about how simple questions can help you take better care of yourself, feel better, and get the right care at the right time.

"Many would agree that for inquiry to be alive and well in a classroom that, amongst other things, the teacher needs to be expert at asking strategic questions, and not only asking well-designed ones, but ones that will also lead students to questions of their own. "

Simply put, writing effective questions is easier than it might seem. You will more often than not observe gains from the very act of engaging your student in the mind tasks of metacognition and retrieval practice and then peer discussion.

"This book is the first of its kind to guide final-year medical undergraduates in performing self-assessment in examination-style modified essay questions. It will also be useful for junior residents to evaluate their own knowledge and approaches in internal medicine, as well as senior doctors in providing inspiration and ideas for setting examination questions."

" In this AMEE guide we describe historical, discourse and text analysis approaches that can help researchers and educators question the inevitability of things that are currently seen as 'natural'. Why is such questioning important? By articulating our assumptions and interrogating the 'naturalness' of the status quo, one can then begin to ask why things are the way they are."

"Don't overlook the value of higher-level multiple-choice questions for teaching. In areas where the target audience has some degree of prior knowledge, or where their life experience is relevant, I often make online courses denser by using multiple-choice exercises instead of the more traditional present-and-test format. This technique is also useful when there is room for judgment, or the preferred choice is conditional and you want the student to understand how different circumstances can affect the preferred action."

This pattern suggests that students who are tested throughout the semester with high-level questions acquire deep conceptual understanding of the material and better memory for the course information

"for long-term retention of lecture material, self-questioning may be a more effective study strategy than summarizing. "

"Learning is a social, active, and ongoing process. What would a motivated group of self-learners need to know to agree on a subject or skill, find and qualify the best learning resources about that topic, select and use appropriate communication media to co-learn it? Beyond technology, what do they need to know about learning and putting learning programs together? What does a group of people need to know to use today's digital resources to co-learn a subject? This handbook is intended to answer that last question and provide a toolbox for co-learners."

"A few weeks back I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Lawrence Sherman as part of the ReachMD lifelong learning series produced in conjunction with the Alliance for CEhp. The interview is airing all this week on ReachMD (channel 167 on SiriusXM) and the podcast is available for download on ReachMD.com (after registering). The interview touches on a number of topics related to how clinicians form questions in practice, how they structure their learning opportunities, and (of course) the natural learning actions model."
