Turning Passive Learning into Active Understanding

Every medical educator has faced the same challenge: students who can recall facts but struggle to apply them. Traditional lectures and static slides often fail to help students connect foundational concepts to clinical reasoning.

That’s where Rx Bricks comes in. Built for flexibility and faculty empowerment, Bricks transforms the learning experience from content delivery to concept discovery.

Each Brick is an interactive, modular learning unit: peer-reviewed, visually rich, and structured for active engagement. Faculty can assign Bricks as pre-class preparation, use them during flipped sessions, or integrate them into case discussions, allowing class time to focus on higher-order learning and application. You can also explore the Brick we created on this webinar here.

What You’ll Learn in This Office Hours Session

This Faculty Office Hours webinar explores practical ways to integrate Bricks into your curriculum, regardless of whether you teach foundational sciences or clinical reasoning. Topics discussed include:

• How Bricks supports active and team-based learning through structured questions and embedded quizzes.

• Using Bricks analytics to identify student engagement and comprehension levels.

• Flexible teaching strategies—from pre-class assignments to in-class application and formative assessments.

• Real-world examples of how medical schools are using Bricks to improve student outcomes and curriculum alignment.

The session also includes Q&A highlights from faculty around the world who are using Rx Bricks to modernize their teaching and foster deeper student participation.

Why Faculty Are Rethinking Engagement

Active learning isn’t just an educational trend—it’s a proven approach to improving retention, critical thinking, and long-term clinical competence. Yet implementing it can feel daunting without the right structure or tools.

Rx Bricks simplifies this process by offering:

• Modular, customizable content that maps easily to your existing curriculum.

• Built-in self-assessment tools that promote retrieval practice.

• Seamless integration with other ScholarRx tools like Qmax and Lists.

• Support for both independent study and collaborative classroom experiences.

Instead of creating everything from scratch, educators can focus on guiding students through problem-solving and synthesis—the core of professional learning.

Insights from Faculty Using Bricks

During the discussion, participating faculty shared how they’ve used Bricks to:

• Replace traditional readings with interactive pre-work that prepares students for deeper discussion.

• Embed Bricks into case-based and team-based learning activities.

• Use analytics to spot where students struggle—and address gaps before exams.

• Engage large groups without losing individual accountability.

One common theme emerged: Bricks help students take ownership of their learning while giving faculty more time to facilitate, mentor, and connect concepts across disciplines.

The Power of Simplicity and Structure

At ScholarRx, we’ve seen that innovation in education doesn’t always mean adding complexity. Sometimes, it’s about simplifying how learning happens.

Bricks are built on this principle, each one is concise, concept-driven, and visually engaging, allowing students to focus on mastering the material, not decoding it. For faculty, that means more freedom to teach in the ways that matter most—through connection, collaboration, and clinical reasoning.

Using GenAI to Create Personalized Learning Experiences

Our upcoming focus session, led by expert Tao Le, MD, will demystify generative AI and equip you with the skills to master prompt engineering. You’ll learn to craft precise instructions that guide generative AI to generate the desired outputs, from creating interactive case studies to developing personalized learning modules. Please join us on Wednesday, July 24th at Noon Eastern to learn more about prompt engineering and the new AI tools available within the ScholarRx platform.

During this hands-on session, participants will explore real-world HPE scenarios and practice developing effective prompts. Dr. Le will share valuable insights on best practices, common pitfalls, and strategies to optimize GenAI for maximum impact. Together, we’ll introduce prompt engineering and generative AI, explore the importance of context, specificity, and clarity when creating prompts, and discuss common techniques, including zero-shot, few-shot, and chain-of-thought prompts.

Key Takeaways:

• Understand the potential of generative AI in HPE
• Master the art of prompt engineering
• Develop practical skills for applying GenAI in your teaching
• Identify and avoid common generative AI challenges

Whether you’re a seasoned educator or just starting to explore the possibilities of GenAI, this session is designed to empower you to leverage this transformative technology.
