Our 'pitch' and key takeaway is a simple one:

That Learning, and Scholarship are similar; both taken in small iterative, cumulative steps. We learn best and engage in scholarship working together within a Community of Interest and Community of Practice. Scholarship is open, public practice, an extension of learning. We "See (one), Do (one), Teach (one) … Write (‘do’ Scholarship .. then ‘be’ a Scholar .. then) Teach (again)". We "Take Note, Make Notes, then Share Notes". - Poh-Sun Goh, 26 November 2022, Saturday, 0423am, Singapore Time

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.

Innovations in Medical Education: Getting Beyond the Hype to What Really Works (symposium) - New directions in education technology

Innovations in Medical Education: Getting Beyond the Hype to What Really Works (symposium), Friday, 26 May 2023



Innovations in Medical Education: Getting Beyond the Hype to What Really Works

Medical education, like any other field, benefits from advances driven by innovations over time. However, the innovation process is often misunderstood and mythicized by leaders and the general public. Education and innovation share a unique relationship in that successful innovation involves accelerated learning and development of novel insights. Consequently, the evolution of how we learn and teach impacts how we innovate.

In this symposium, we investigate the role of innovation in advancing the field of medical education to create new, sustainable value for healthcare, patients and society. We define what innovation is and address common misconceptions. Major innovations and their impacts to medical education will be reviewed. We will then explore the current state of education technology which has seen an acceleration in innovation over the past. There will be a focus on promising, emerging technologies. Next, we will describe major systematic approaches to innovation such as design thinking and lean methodology. Finally, we explore how education innovations can be sustained over time, even in low-resource settings.

Moderator: Tao Le

Understanding successful innovations 
Ronald Harden

Successful innovations relating to admission to medical studies, the curriculum and assessment of the product will be considered. The penetration and success of the innovations can be attributed to a number of underlying, common factors. A key characteristic, as argued by Simon Sinek (2009) in the book Start with Why, was that they each had a clear purpose. This was to contribute to the delivery of an authentic and relevant programme. Also common to the innovations were four characteristics which had been described by Jack Schneider (2014) as crucial to the adoption of an innovation: perceived significance, philosophical compatibility, occupational realism and inference portability.

New directions in education technology 
Poh-Sun Goh

The COVID-19 pandemic shone a bright light on the importance of education technology. We will discuss three new “directions” or paths - exemplified by Virtual/Augmented and Mixed Reality (VR/AR/MR); Artificial Intelligence (AI) including the latest debates on generative AI and ChatGPT; and the current and future promise of mobile technology/networks anchored on 5G and future 6G wireless technology. The discussion will be strongly anchored on addressing the “job to be done” to quote Clayton Christensen. We will frame the use of educational technology in the context of “human needs” by augmenting, expanding and extending our human capabilities and reach, and ultimately bringing us closer together.

Design thinking and other methods of innovation 
Tao Le

Contrary to popular belief, major inventions usually do not develop from spontaneous “Aha!” moments of sudden enlightenment. They are more likely to evolve from innovation systems characterized by structured processes implemented by determined teams over an extended period. Design thinking is a human-centered approach to creative problem solving. Focusing on the humans involved such as educators, students and patients is likely to lead better, more impactful products, services and internal processes. We will describe other innovation approaches such as systems thinking, agile methodology and lean startup and their applications.

Sustaining education innovation in low resource settings 
Hoan Minh Nguyen

Innovation programs in education can be limited in time and quantity of funding, budgeting, and other support mechanisms. Integrating and sharing the effort with established systems, private-public partnerships, the local community, and other stakeholders is essential to maintain innovation outcomes. We will share work examples from the Partnership for Health Advancement in Vietnam’s (HAIVN) that illustrate how adapting educational innovations can contribute to successful curricular reform at the country’s medical schools in low-resource settings.

Closing Pecha Kucha session - AMEE 2016

Technology enhanced learning in Medical Education: What’s new, what’s useful, and some important considerations
Presenter: Poh-Sun Goh

Three "new", topical and trending areas to reflect upon are Virtual Reality (VR)/Augmented Reality (AR)/Mixed Reality (MR); Machine learning or Artificial Intelligence (AI)/big data/data analytics; and Robotics. Four interrelated "useful" features of Technology enhanced learning (TeL) relate to the utility of digital content, the connectivity provided by the internet, the use of mobile devices, and the functionality provided by software and digital applications or Apps. Some "important" considerations using TeL relate to usability, cost, the conscious use of instructional design and pedagogical best practices and evidence, and maintaining a scholarly mindset.

#IAMSE 2020 Plenary Highlight Poh-Sun Goh

Medical Educator Roles of the Future
Presenter: Poh-Sun Goh – National University of Singapore
Plenary Address: Tuesday, June 16, 2020, 11:30 AM – 12:30 PM

This session will explore how near future technology can impact how we educate healthcare professionals and the way they provide care.

In this address, the idea is to examine how “new” methods and platforms for displaying information, engaging an audience, extending and expanding the cognitive presence of “the instructor”, and increasingly “guide” will transform the learning experience, and training outcomes, of our educational efforts; and also explore how these same technologies, which will include Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning, Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR), online and re-imagined out-of-the-simulation-center skill training experiences (inspired and modeled after gaming platforms), can augment, enhance, and transform how we educate and train healthcare professionals, along the whole continuum of learning, from undergraduate learning, through postgraduate training, to lifelong learning and continuing professional development settings.

"6G networks are also said to have the potential to make the digital and physical world indistinguishable through holographic telepresence, as well as augmented reality and virtual reality (VR) technologies.

What’s more, 6G networks could deliver the promise of edge computing, where data processing is done by hardware mounted on, for example, a lamp post close to the user of a self-driving car or a pair of VR glasses, rather than in a data centre located far away. This also means the driverless car or the VR glasses need not be too bulky."





"As for Apple’s upcoming headset, there’s no guarantee the AR/VR gear will be a smash hit. According to The Verge, people who purchased one of Meta’s VR headsets in recent months are using it less often than those who bought them earlier in their life cycles.

That could mean that earlier adopters are simply more interested in the technology, while mainstream consumers aren’t particularly attached to it.

Apple will need its headset to be a truly impressive product if it’s going to drive massive consumer interest."














"The human mind is not like ChatGPT and its ilk, a lumbering statistical engine for pattern matching, gorging on hundreds of terabytes of data and extrapolating the most likely conversational response or most probable answer to a scientific question. On the contrary, the human mind is a surprisingly efficient and even elegant system that operates with small amounts of information; it seeks not to infer brute correlations among data points but to create explanations."
