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
