Best Practices for Technology Applications in Health Professions Education
Technology is an increasingly valuable tool in the medical educator toolbox. Educational technology tools now provide educators with means of tracking and exchanging curricular content, tracing learner activities and profiles, and new ways of connecting learners and educators. The 2013 spring series explores mature implementations of technology solutions and focuses on curriculum management, online learning, and assessment.
An effective curriculum management tool allows institutions to manage, map, and demonstrate the relationship between educational content, competencies, goals, objectives, and outcomes. It can assist faculty in program improvement and compliance with accreditation standards by identifying learning opportunities and curricular deficiencies. The first two sessions will examine two institutions' solutions for curriculum management.
The subsequent three sessions will provide an insight into the creative thinking behind the International Virtual Medical School project (IVIMEDS) and its evolution, and look at other tools for developing effective online learning modules and resources (MedEd Portal, HEAL, and Merlot), the theoretical framework supporting their use, and a review of their impact on students.
