“…Online students reported the main use of ilectures for them to be the inclusion of extra guidance for assessments or to have administrative tasks explained or even just to make them feel less 'lost' and experience a sense of 'belonging' to the university. This feedback highlights the need for something more than just discipline content to be conveyed to students studying in online mode and might explain why some studies have found that the use of ilectures (or podcasts) is less popular with students than traditional face to face lessons (Zeldenryk & Bradey, 2013).…”

“…The number of possible reasons why students do not attend makes the issue too complex to be able to draw connections between the availability of lectures online and reductions in attendance. It would seem that as Zeldenryk & Bradey (2013) found, students may just prefer a blended learning approach where they mix a little of both modes together.…”

“…Many studies have found that students do not tend to replace attendance at face to face lectures with ilectures (Gorissen, Van Bruggen, & Jochems, 2012;Gupta & Saks, 2013;Karnad, 2013;Larkin, 2010;Mather, Caesar, Chin, & Fei, 2015) but instead prefer a blended learning approach where they mix a little of both modes together (e.g., Zeldenryk & Bradey, 2013). A study conducted by Saunders and Hutt (2015) in a British university revealed that only 10% of the participants (n=84) resorted to ilectures as a substitute for face-to-face instruction.…”

“…Any drop in attendance could be explained by natural decreases in student attendance over the duration of the study period, student age and maturity and numbers of students with disabilities who cannot attend on-campus. Among other reasons there might be work and family commitments, lifestyle and long commute times (as reported, for instance, in Zeldenryk & Bradey, 2013). Moreover, students who miss a lecture do not necessarily watch it online according to Hasegawa (2011).…”

IntroductionThe number of occupational therapy degree programs in Australia has increased substantially over the last decade. During this time, Australian academics have produced a significant amount of scholarship focussed on entry‐level education; however, the landscape of this scholarship has not been examined. The aim of this study was to review the literature on the scholarship of entry‐level Australian occupational therapy education programs, specifically the topics explored and methods employed.MethodsAn extensive search of nine databases produced 1,002 papers related to occupational therapy education. Two researchers screened each paper using inclusion and exclusion criteria. Seventy‐six articles, published between 2000 and September 2019, were included. Data were extracted using a coding tool, and entered into NVivo, where data were analysed using queries and tallies of the characteristics of the articles.ResultsSixty‐eight articles were research and eight were other peer reviewed literature. Articles primarily focussed on student characteristics and perceptions. Quantitative research designs were predominant with surveys the most frequently used method. There were few articles that addressed the topic of teaching methods and approaches, and of these none addressed occupation‐centred teaching. No articles addressed the learning environment. Four articles reported on an educational intervention that targeted participation, and attitudes/perceptions or knowledge/skills of students and/or academics. These findings inform understanding about what has been completed so far in the scholarship; and what topic focus and research designs could address gaps in existing knowledge.ConclusionsThis review elucidated topics that have been well researched (student focus), as well as gaps in the scholarship (teaching methods and approaches including occupation‐centred teaching, and the learning environment). It showed that quantitative designs were predominant, with qualitative approaches less frequently adopted. The results of this review could assist academics and researchers to focus their scholarship on topics that require further investigation and diversify research methods.
