➡ 'Digitalisation is' - 'Digitalisation is the incorporation of digital technologies into business/social processes, with the goal of improving them'.
quoted from
https://www.scrive.com/digitalisation/


Digitalisation can:

Show what we teach with and assess on.
Show how we teach, and students learn.
Show outcomes and impact of our educational and training efforts.
Allow us to engage in and demonstrate scholarship in a visible, accessible and assessable manner.

"Rethinking the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning for a Digital Age"
 by Poh-Sun Goh
available on the following blogpost ⏯https://medicaleducationelearning.blogspot.com/2019/05/sotl-and-rime-workshop-cenmed-wednesday.html

reproduced below section:

Rethinking the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning for a Digital Age 
Poh-Sun Goh 

The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) is a set of unifying ideas centred around proposals put forward in a series of scholarly articles by Boyer, Glassick, Hutchings and Shulman, and embraced by the scholarly community (Boyer 1990; Glassick 2000; Hutchings & Schulman 1999). The aim of this Short Communication is to expand upon each category of scholarship proposed by Boyer, by adding the scholarship of Creation, Curation with attribution, Transfer to practice, and Workplace/Lifelong learning; add to Glassick’s six standards the Digital standards of Openness and Visibility, and expand on Hutchings and Shulman’s three minimum requirements of scholarship by incorporating ideas from networked learning and connectivism by George Siemens (Siemens 2005). We hope that this article contributes to move forward thinking on the SoTL, for a Digital Age.

The Scholarship of Creation is well accepted in the Arts, and has analogies to the creative process when a medical educator creates educational materials. A strong argument can be made, and has been made that this is similar to the recognition that artists receive, particularly when their work is presented for public review, critique and commentary (Boyer 1990; Hutchings & Schulman 1999). The creation of digital materials for medical education and training, is hard work, often inspirited by the same creative impulse that drives artistic endeavours, particularly when imbued with an intentional, informed, reflective, scholarly approach; and is similar to the scholarship of discovery. Awareness of this should be raised in both the medical education community, and amongst our administrative peers, to recognise and reward medical education scholars during appointments, promotion and the tenure process.

Similarly, the act of artistic curation, and the professional work of curators in the Arts, has similarities to the work of medical educators, when we assemble educational and training materials. A strong argument again can be made that this has similarities to the Scholarship of Integration (Boyer 1990), and should be given academic and professional recognition and reward, similar to the Scholarship of Creation. Digital platforms and processes makes the Scholarship of Curation open, accessible and visible.

Taking this argument further, the act, or Scholarship of Transfer to Practice, has an analogy with the Scholarship of Application. Digital practice makes this again particularly open, and visible to peers, assessors and evaluators, and when a scholarly approach as proposed by Glassick (2000) is applied to this Scholarship of Practice, appropriate academic recognition can be again accorded to this effort. 

The focus of outcomes of learning and teaching guides both the Scholarship of Teaching, and our focus in Workplace and Lifelong learning. Technology enhanced learning (TEL), makes the educational and learning process, as well as performance outcomes of this process open and visible, through a digital analytics process (Goh 2017). 

As we examine the categories of scholarship proposed by Boyer, the affordances of digital teaching and learning, and draw analogies and inspiration from practices in the Arts; an argument can be made that awareness, and recognition of the efforts of medical educators in Creation, Curation, Transfer to Practice and Workplace and Lifelong learning can and should given.

Three takeaways:

1) The scholarship categories proposed by Boyer (Discovery, Integration, Application and Teaching) can be each expanded to include Creation (Digital content and online repositories), Curation with attribution, Transfer to practice and Work place/Life long learning. 

2) That we add to Glassick's six standards (Clear goals, adequate preparation, appropriate methods, significant results, effective presentation and reflective critique) with Digital standards of openness (with focus on making the learning process, and data to inform - demonstrate outcomes of learning visible and accessible openly online).

3) That we expand on Schulman's three minimum requirements of scholarship (public, in form suitable for critical review and evaluation, accessible for exchange with, and to be build upon by other members of the scholarly community) for the digital age, incorporating the ideas from George Siemens (connectivism: a learning theory for the digital age) combined with classical educational pedagogy of relevant, contextual, collaborative, active learning with feedback.

Digital Scholar - The Scholarship Cycle, Value-Impact-Recognition from Poh-Sun Goh


above some illustrative examples from last 12 months


Digital Scholarship and Engagement - Indicators, Metrics, Value and Impact
by 
Poh-Sun Goh 

eLearning or TEL(Technology Enhanced Learning) is increasingly being integrated into medical education and training, from undergraduate, through postgraduate to continuing education and lifelong learning settings, with increasing emphasis on blended and mobile learning, in the workplace and just-in-time settings. TEL with utilisation of digital content and engagement provides visibility of our teaching and training efforts as educators, showing ‘what we teach with, and assess on’ (Goh, 2016). TEL approaches can also be used to provide visibility and metrics of student engagement, as well as demonstrate intermediate and final outcomes of student learning (Goh & Sandars, 2016; Goh, 2017). TEL is increasing transforming medical education, going beyond substitution, augmentation and modification of learning - the ‘SAMR model’ (Puentedura, 2013). Reflective educators, and educational scholars have always sought to evaluate and assess the value and impact of their teaching and training efforts, and Digital Scholarship, with attention paid to data, indicators and metrics of engagement and output, can facilitate these efforts. Use of 'free', low cost, off the shelf, easy to use and accessible digital tools and platforms, combined with curated and created digital content repositories, by faculty who are 'digitally literate' and professional, facilitates adoption and scaling up of our scholarly efforts (Goh, 2018). This has direct benefits for faculty members during the academic appointment, appraisal and promotion process; for an academic community by making scholarly activities easily accessible, and for an institution by making academic and scholarly activities by faculty members both easily accessible and visible.

Building a portfolio of academic scholarship and The academic cycle 
by 
Goh Poh Sun (first draft on April 10th, 2016 at 1737hrs)

"The process of building a portfolio of academic scholarship requires attention to, as well as regular participation in and focus on an area of academic work; getting training, building experience, and developing an understanding of current and topical academic conversations in that area; by reading, attending major academic conferences, through conference presentations, presenting at symposia and workshops; developing ideas further and deepening insights through reflection and discourse; then continuing the academic cycle by getting feedback on these insights by progressively disseminating these ideas through case studies, reflection pieces and peer reviewed papers, both online and through traditional academic peer reviewed publications and conference presentations."

"With more seamless, reliable technology and, more importantly, advances in augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR), it will soon be possible to “feel” as if everyone in a virtual group is in the same room participating in a single discussion. In addition, histology lectures and slides are already largely online, and digital simulations for anatomy dissection are already available and will improve with VR."

Dear Participants, 

The full text of my presentation at Virtual IAMSE 2020 is below. This complements the SlideShare illustrations available at https://www.slideshare.net/dnrgohps/medical-educator-roles-of-the-future-232394375

Please review the online resources on this blogpost before the session. 

One approach to engage with the content is to - check that you have an idea of, and can visualise what VR, AR, MR, Simulation, Virtual Simulation, Serious Games and AI in medical education are, by reviewing the links in the above section of online image search for these terms, reviewing the online videos of examples, then skimming through the review articles in the section below, having a look at the SlideShare illustrations, before reading the three takeaways, postscript and final comments of the presentation. As you do this, think about and jot down notes of your own practice and educational setting, and what application these ideas might have in your setting.

We can discuss these ideas further during the live IAMSE webinar online. 

With warmest regards, 
Poh-Sun

"Hello.

Thank you for participating in this online webinar at Virtual IAMSE 2020. Thank you to the IAMSE organising committee for inviting me, and the technical team at IAMSE for supporting this webinar. I 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 full transcript of my presentation has internal hyperlinks to cited online resources and articles for your further review and reading. I hope that you will find these 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 Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) to allow our learners to visualize, situate and empathise with clinical practice settings. There is early promise and potential for AR to provide "just in time" reference material and performance support; and VR to enable our students and trainees to see, hear and feel / experience clinical practice settings. Simulation and gaming paradigms offer promise and potential for safe practice with feedback. Artificial Intelligence (AI) will likely increasingly allow instructors to offer some personalisation and customisation of learning and training. Some recent case studies for the use of AR, VR, Simulation, Gaming and AI are provided in the following section.

We have an opportunity, and challenge to expand the concept of "blended learning", from online self study combined with in person group discussions to asynchronous self study of online content blended with synchronous online group activities. The following two recent articles by Shank (2020) elaborate on this process. 

Shank, P. (2020). ‘(The right) digital modalities to deliver digital learning: Part 1’. Published on April 3, 2020. Available at: https://elearningindustry.com/asynchronous-and-synchronous-modalities-deliver-digital-learning (Accessed: 22 April 2020).

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 - first posted online during TeLMED session on 17 April 2020 ( more on  following link https://medicaleducationelearning.blogspot.com/2020/03/technology-enhanced-learning-in-medical.html )

"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." 
                                                                                        Poh-Sun Goh (16 April 2020 @ 0915am)











I also believe that the description of "new tech", what is useful, and important considerations presented at the closing Pecha Kucha session at AMEE 2016 (articulated in the MedEdPublish article Goh, P.S. Technology enhanced learning in Medical Education: What’s new, what’s useful, and some important considerations. MedEdPublish. 2016 Oct; 5(3), Paper No:16. Epub 2016 Oct 12.
http://dx.doi.org/10.15694/mep.2016.000102) are still valid. As cost progressively reduces, availability and usability of wearable tech for AR, VR, and Mixed Reality progressively increases, together with a deeper understanding of their appropriate use, including software and content for these "newer technologies"; and deeper understanding, wider access, and lower cost of simulation and gaming platforms and paradigms; combined with embedded, usable, and iteratively improving AI and Machine Learning; adoption and use of these technologies to complement, augment, supplement, and even replace previous more traditional methods of instruction and training will progressively increase. Technology will eventually seamlessly integrate even further into our clinical and teaching practice. Our role as educators will be to envision, plan, guide, support and oversee this process, expanding and deepening our role as teachers, instructors, content creators, curators, guides and coaches.

"Technology enhanced learning or eLearning allows educators to expand access to educational content, promotes engagement with students and makes it easier for students to access educational material at a time, place and pace which suits them. The challenge for educators beginning their eLearning journey is to decide where to start, which includes the choice of an eLearning tool and platform. This article will share one educator's decision making process, and experience using blogs as a flexible and versatile integrated eLearning tool and platform. Apart from being a cost effective/free tool and platform, blogs offer the possibility of creating a hyperlinked indexed content repository, for both created and curated educational material; as well as a distribution and engagement tool and platform. Incorporating pedagogically sound activities and educational practices into a blog promote a structured templated teaching process, which can be reproduced. Moving from undergraduate to postgraduate training, educational blogs supported by a comprehensive online case-based repository offer the possibility of training beyond competency towards proficiency and expert level performance through a process of deliberate practice. By documenting educational content and the student engagement and learning process, as well as feedback and personal reflection of educational sessions, blogs can also form the basis for a teaching portfolio, and provide evidence and data of scholarly teaching and educational scholarship. Looking into the future, having a collection of readily accessible indexed hyperlinked teaching material offers the potential to do on the spot teaching with illustrative material called up onto smart surfaces, and displayed on holographic interfaces."
