RESOURCE: Elsevier reveals new layout for Article of the Future

The Article of the Future project is Elsevier’s “never-ending quest to explore better ways to create and deliver the formal published record”. In the latest phase of this ‘quest’, the project team have worked with more than 150 researchers, authors, publishers and editors to come up with multiple prototypes for a new

MANUSCRIPT: Making the Case for Continuous Learning from Routinely Collected Data

In "Making the Case for Continuous Learning from Routinely Collected Data," the authors suggest that in order to achieve better health, patients and clinicians will need to view every health care encounter as providing an opportunity to improve outcomes. The paper cites widely-reported examples of routinely collected digital health data

MANUSCRIPT: Learning styles and pedagogy in learning: A systematic and critical review

“The sheer number of dichotomies betokens a serious failure of accumulated theoretical coherence and an absence of well-grounded findings, tested through replication. Or to put the point differently: there is some overlap among the concepts used, but no direct or easy comparability between approaches; there is no agreed ‘core’ technical

MANUSCRIPT: Comparison of the medical students’ perceived self-efficacy and the evaluation of the observers and patients

Background The accuracy of self-assessment has been questioned in studies comparing physicians' self-assessments to observed assessments; however, none of these studies used self-efficacy as a method for self-assessment. The aim of the study was to investigate how medical students' perceived self-efficacy of specific communication skills corresponds to the evaluation of simulated patients

MANUSCRIPT: Effective Use of Educational Technology in Medical Education (2007)

There is no doubt that educational technologies have enhanced teaching and learning in medical education. There is also no doubt that technologies will continue to evolve and become further integrated into all facets of our professional and personal settings. The medical education community must be able to assure itself that the information presented to medical students and

ABSTRACT: Teaching for understanding in medical classrooms using multimedia design principles – Issa – 2013 – Medical Education – Wiley Online Library

Objectives  In line with a recent report entitled Effective Use of Educational Technology in Medical Education from the Association of American Medical Colleges Institute for Improving Medical Education (AAMC-IME), this study examined whether revising a medical lecture based on evidence-based principles of multimedia design would lead to improved long-term transfer

ABSTRACT: Applying the cognitive theory of multimedia learning: an analysis of medical animations – Yue – 2013 – Medical Education – Wiley Online Library

Context  Instructional animations play a prominent role in medical education, but the degree to which these teaching tools follow empirically established learning principles, such as those outlined in the cognitive theory of multimedia learning (CTML), is unknown. These principles provide guidelines for designing animations in a way that promotes optimal

ABSTRACT: Just enough, but not too much interactivity leads to better clinical skills performance after a computer assisted learning module.

Abstract BACKGROUND: Well-designed computer-assisted instruction (CAI) can potentially transform medical education. Yet little is known about whether specific design features such as direct manipulation of the content yield meaningful gains in clinical learning. We designed three versions of a multimedia module on the abdominal exam incorporating different types of interactivity. METHODS: As part of
