Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the relevance of screening for neonatal hypoglycemia as it is currently performed, in order to improve the comfort of newborns by reducing the number of painful procedures such as venipunctures or capillary punctures. The primary objective was to determine the prevalence of neonatal hypoglycemia in large-for-gestational-age newborns. The secondary objective was to determine a threshold percentile of birth weight for optimal screening for hypoglycemia.

In order to evaluate the relevance of using instant messaging software for the education of future midwives, the tool was evaluated by the students.
Methods: We conducted, in January 2021, a user-centered online study with all midwifery students in training for the classes of 2020-2021, using the French translation of Anstey and Watson's Rubric for the Evaluation of eLearning Tools.

Biostatistics is one of the transversal subjects that all future doctors must acquire and master. Nonetheless, it is a subject that has the reputation of being difficult, which has not been able to be corrected even with the application of new pedagogical methods such as blended learning. We address this problem with our acculturative and disruptive approach in the form of a serious game scenario in clinical research that integrates biostatistics with our R4Web adapted tools.

We present the pedagogical transition to blended learning based on flipped classroom initiated in 2010 to overcome the pedagogical limitations of classical lectures.
Methods: The pedagogical organization of each TU is based on the weekly and sequential implementation of five sequences.

Descriptive statistics, Classical Test Theory (CTT), and Item Response Theory (IRT) are used to analyze learning. These results are a powerful synthesis for students to evaluate their progression into their personal pathway of learning, for teachers to improve the quality of different multiple-choice questions (MCQ) series, and for administration to assist in making pedagogical decisions. Our study explores tools to evaluate MCQ tests, and MCQs.

Introduction: In 2006, the Grenoble-Alpes University Medical School decided to switch the learning paradigm of the first year to a blended learning model based on a flipped classroom with a continuous dual assessment system providing personal follow-up. We report a descriptive analysis of two pedagogical models.
Methods: The innovative blended learning model is divided into 5 week-sequences of learning, starting with a series of knowledge capsules, following with Interactive On Line Questions, Interactive On Site Training and an Explanation Meeting.

Purpose: Acceptance of a learning technology affects students' intention to use that technology, but the influence of the acceptance of a learning technology on learning approaches has not been investigated in the literature. A deep learning approach is important in the field of health, where links must be created between skills, knowledge, and habits. Our hypothesis was that acceptance of a hybrid learning model would affect students' way of learning.
