Medical Education and eLearning Portfolio: Technology Enhanced Learning CenMED Workshop

http://medicine.nus.edu.sg/cenmed/faculty-development-programs/events.html

------- (the following message shared with participants by email before the session ..... this engagement process (with the audience) illustrates one of the simplest methods to use technology to enable and enhance learning .... which we are not only all familiar with, it is one that all of us use on a daily basis, most often for other purposes, like workplace meetings (disseminate meeting materials beforehand by email, to allow valuable live meeting time to be spent productively on interactive discussions and decision making - sharing content, facilitating engagement, with tangible outcomes) ..... this method is simple to use, accessible to all, and is one simple way to start an eLearning or eTeaching journey ..... and add to your instructional toolbox) -------------

Dear Participants,

The full text of my introduction presentation at the Technology Enhanced Learning Workshop is below. Please review this before the session and skim through the material on my session blog. We can discuss this further during the live workshop online.

With warmest regards,

"Hello.

Thank you for joining us for this online workshop organised by CenMED, NUS. Thank you to my co-facilitators for joining me in sharing key ideas, and useful tips for using technology in medical education with you, the participants. We encourage you to actively engage with the material by reviewing, taking notes, reflecting on your own educational practice, and thinking about how to apply some of these ideas and tips in your setting.

My presentation with be short, and focused on three takeaways. This presentation is complemented by an online open access blog, which includes links to additional online material that I hope you find useful.

The first takeaway is summed up in the following elegant quote "All teaching, regardless of how it is delivered is basically: present content, provide practice and feedback, assess learning. Sure, there is more, but focus on that."

accessible at the following link below.

This quote reminds us that is is the learning process, and training outcome that we should be focused on as educators. The technology is there is assist us.

My second takeaway is that we should therefore focus on what the student and trainee “sees” or experiences, and “does”, illustrated in the following slides, and available on the links below

As educators we should facilitate, encourage, and promote active engagement of the student and trainee with the educational content, and a learning process, which can include taking notes, reflection, recall, discussion, use and application of the educational content - knowledge, skills and attitudes. Recall facts, answer questions, illustrate and demonstrate skills, offer online / simulated practice, use video to record and provide feedback on performance (under appropriate consent and privacy conditions), and use media, including video, and increasingly VR and AR to allow our learners to visualize, situate and empathise with clinical practice settings.

My third takeaway is to start off with what you are familiar with, and use what is available and at hand. Use "simple" tech - email, SMS, blogs (websites) to broadcast, and "narrowcast" .. targeted message ... connect ... disseminate ... document. This is illustrated in the following graphic (embedded text link), and elaborated further in the short article in TAPS (The Asia Pacific Scholar), and listed in three short SlideShare documents details below. The Centre of Instructional Technology Website at NUS below has detailed "how to do it" information for instructors. http://www.cit.nus.edu.sg/

It is likely that the rapid shift to online live large and small group teaching and meetings triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic will accelerate our application of technology to enhance and enable learning. The SlideShare post link below, and recent MedEdPublish articles elaborate on this.

Postscript (posted on 16 April 2020 @ 0915am), for discussion

"One simple, doable, first step for us to take as educators is to (progressively) make our teaching and training material available for review and use online, as (some open access, some restricted access) digital content (following appropriate and accepted professional usage guidelines, including those for professional use, consent, privacy, and attribution/intellectual property). This facilitates use and review by both students, and fellow educators, to use, and re-use (with attribution). This content can be progressively, and systematically curated and indexed by theme, topic, and ideally also in its most modular, granular form. To encourage, and facilitate re-use, re-purposing, and just in time review. For example - key takeaways, recent and topical papers, guidelines, quotes, illustrations, tables, video clips, modular VR and AR content. Our role as teachers, instructors, demonstrators, educators, content creators, curators, editors, filters/screeners/reviewers, guides and coaches can be assisted by AI, informed by digital and learning analytics."
