Abstract/OtherAbstract:
New instructional technologies, especially Web-based applications, may play an increasing role in medical education, particularly for distance and distributed learning. As medical educators turn to this medium, numerous benefits and opportunities, but also challenges and pitfalls, will arise. The successful development and implementation of instructional technologies in medicine require an appreciation of the medium's heterogeneous nature, its strengths, weaknesses and limitations. These in turn rely on partnerships with various experts and the early adoption of evaluation. We have summarized the lessons learnt from developing Web-based courses on palliative care in a framework for adopting instructional technologies. This framework incorporates development, implementation and evaluation.
