RADAR: An approach for helping students evaluate Internet sources

Abstract The Internet has become an integral part of all aspects of the life of twenty-first-century learners. Yet research shows that students’ ease and familiarity with the mechanics of the medium are not matched by their ability to evaluate electronic sources critically. Both faculty and library professionals are acutely aware of

MANUSCRIPT: A Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning: Implications for Design Principles

In multimedia learning the learner engages in three important cognitive processes. The first cognitive progress, selecting, is applied to incoming verbal information to yield a text base and is applied to incoming visual information to yield an image base. The second cognitive process, organizing, is applied to the word base to create a

ABSTRACT: A Global Model for Effective Use and Evaluation of e-Learning in Health

Abstract Abstract Healthcare systems worldwide face a wide range of challenges, including demographic change, rising drug and medical technology costs, and persistent and widening health inequalities both within and between countries. Simultaneously, issues such as professional silos, static medical curricula, and perceptions of "information overload" have made it difficult for medical

ABSTRACT: Recertification: What do specialists think about skill assessment?

Abstract BACKGROUND: Continuing medical education and objective performance assessment remain the key components of recertification. Objective skills assessment in routine practice remains challenging due to extensive variations in case selection and treatments. This study explores expert opinions regarding objective skills assessment for specialists within the framework of recertification. METHODS: We used a qualitative, semi-structured

ABSTRACT: A picture tells 1000 words: learning teamwork in primary care.

Abstract Background: Teamwork and patient centredness are frequently articulated concepts in medical education, but are not always explicit in the curriculum. In Ireland, recent government policy emphasises the importance of a primary care team approach to health care. We report on an appraisal of a newly introduced community-based student attachment, which

ABSTRACT: Applying the cognitive theory of multimedia learning: an analysis of medical animations.

Abstract 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: Applying multimedia design principles enhances learning in medical education

Abstract CONTEXT: The Association of American Medical Colleges' Institute for Improving Medical Education's report entitled 'Effective Use of Educational Technology' called on researchers to study the effectiveness of multimedia design principles. These principles were empirically shown to result in superior learning when used with college students in laboratory studies, but have not

ABSTRACT: Novel educational approach for medical students: improved retention rates using interactive medical software compared with traditional lecture-based format.

Abstract BACKGROUND: Mannequin and computer-based simulators are useful for the practice of patient management, physical procedures, and competency. However, they are ineffective in teaching clinical medicine. StepStone Interactive Medical Software (SS) is a web-based medical learning modality that provides the user with a highly focused set of evaluative and interventional tasks to
