The effect of reminder letters on the uptake of an e-learning programme on dementia: a randomized trial in general practiceEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions. Three reminder letters added to a nation-wide dissemination increased the probability for a GP logon in the ELP by a Factor 8. However, in total, only a small proportion used the ELP. Thus, further research is needed in order to consider future implementation strategies for Internet-based Continuous Medical Education activities among not primed GPs. (Source: Family Practice)

Conclusions: This model of synchronous e-learning based on interactive live webcasting was a successful method of delivering an international postgraduate module.

Although this is a small study, given that synchronous methods such as interactive webcasting are a much easier transition for lecturers used to face-to-face teaching than are asynchronous methods, they should be considered as part of the blend of e-learning methods. Further research and development is needed on interfaces and methods that are robust and accessible, on the most appropriate blend of synchronous and...

Using clinical simulation and audience response systems to enhance student engagement and critical reasoning skillsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Effective educational practices depend on learning as a process of dialogue between tutor and learner. Some traditional methods can fail to facilitate dialogue since learners may be unable or unwilling to engage. The use of Audience Response Systems, where all learners can respond to questions set by a tutor with the aggregated results displayed to the class, can alleviate barriers to dialogue. The Centre has experience of combining ARS with video streaming of high-fidelity simulated clinical scenarios, thus allowing learners to vote for a course of action: their actions determine the clinical outcome for the patient.
