Abstract: Advantages of web-based learning (WBL) in medical education include overcoming barriers of distance and time, economies of scale, and novel instructional methods, while disadvantages include social isolation, up-front costs, and technical problems. Web-based learning is purported to facilitate individualised instruction, but this is currently more vision than reality. More importantly, many WBL instructional designs fail to incorporate principles of effective learning, and WBL is often used for the wrong reasons (e.g., for the sake of technology). Rather than trying to decide whether WBL is superior to or equivalent to other instructional media (research addressing this question will always be confounded), we should accept it as a potentially powerful instructional tool, and focus on learning when and how to use it. Educators should recognise that high fidelity, multimedia, simulations, and even WBL itself will not always be necessary to effectively facilitate learning

Integration of e-learning technologies in an interprofessional health science course. Med Teach., 30, 25-33.                                             doi: 10.1080/01421590701753450

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Advances in information and communication technology are influencing instructional formats and delivery modes for post secondary teaching and learning. AIMS: The purpose of this study was to determine whether interprofessional team process skills traditionally taught in a small group face-to-face classroom setting could be taught in a blended learning environment; without compromising the pedagogical approach and collaborative Group Investigation Model (Sharan & Sharan 1992) used in the course. METHOD: A required interprofessional team development course designed to teach health science students (Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy, Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, Dentistry, Dental Hygiene, Medical Laboratory Science, and Nutrition) team process skills was redesigned from a 100% face-to-face delivery format to a blended learning format where 70% of the instruction was delivered using a new synchronous virtual classroom technology (Elluminate www.elluminate.com) in conjunction with asynchronous technology (WebCT). It was hypothesized there would be no significant difference between the blended learning format and the traditional face-to-face format in the development of interprofessional team knowledge, skills and attitudes. The two formats were evaluated on demographic information, computer experience, and interprofessional team attitudes, knowledge and skills. RESULTS: The three main findings are: (a) no significant differences between student groups on achieving team process skills, (b) an observation of differences between the groups on team dynamics, and (c) a more positive achievement of course learning objectives perceived by students in the blended learning class. CONCLUSIONS: The results provide evidence to support our blended learning format without compromising pedagogy. They also suggest that this format enhances students' perceptions of their learning.

Comentário: o acento tónico é colocado na equipa multidisciplinar necessária à implementação de um projeto de elearning em ciências médicas, que deverá ter o formato de blended-learning.

Abstract: Aim To evaluate the educational effectiveness of a clinically integrated e-learning course for teaching basic evidence-based medicine (EBM) among postgraduate medical trainees compared to a traditional lecture-based course of equivalent content.Methods We conducted a cluster randomized controlled trial to compare a clinically integrated e-learning EBM course (intervention) to a lecture-based course (control) among postgraduate trainees at foundation or internship level in seven teaching hospitals in the UK West Midlands region. Knowledge gain among participants was measured with a validated instrument using multiple choice questions. Change in knowledge was compared between groups taking into account the cluster design and adjusted for covariates at baseline using generalized estimating equations (GEE) model.Results There were seven clusters involving teaching of 237 trainees (122 in the intervention and 115 in the control group). The total number of postgraduate trainees who completed the course was 88 in the intervention group and 72 in the control group. After adjusting for baseline knowledge, there was no difference in the amount of improvement in knowledge of EBM between the two groups. The adjusted post course difference between the intervention group and the control group was only 0.1 scoring points (95% CI −1.2–1.4).Conclusion An e-learning course in EBM was as effective in improving knowledge as a standard lecture-based course. The benefits of an e-learning approach need to be considered when planning EBM curricula as it allows standardization of teaching materials and is a potential cost-effective alternative to standard lecture-based teaching

Comentário: neste estudo aleatorizado e aplicado a médicos no internato foi possivel demonstrar que um curso em elearning não foi inferior ao curso presencial tradiconalmente utilizado na formação pós-graduado destes médicos. As vantagens do elearning (ministrado quando o medico tem disponibilidade sem o obrigar a deslocar a um local em dia e hora certa) tem óbvias vantajens pelo que será cada vez mais utilizado. A European Society of Cardiology já tem um sistema deste tipo destinado a todos os cardiologistas europeus em formação designado por ESCeL (European Society of Cardiology eLearning). Este projeto que tem sido liderado por um português, o Prof. Lino Gonçalves da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de Lisboa, está a ser utilizado, como rotina, em Portugal.

Abstract: In 2008, the University of Maryland School of Nursing transitioned the doctor of nursing practice core courses from an in-class to a blended (hybrid) course delivery method. As part of this transition, the evidence-based practice course was reconceptualized, implemented in its new format, and evaluated after being completed by 2 cohorts. The transition was successful because of a strong open interprofessional team, faculty training in blended course best practices, support by experts in instructional design and Web-based learning throughout the transition, and continual formative evaluation by students and faculty. The resulting course received strong positive evaluations by students and was certified by Quality Matters, indicating the incorporation of best practices in online teaching

Comentário: nesta experiência aplicada ao ensino da emfermagem o sucesso foi possivel devido a um conjunto de factores críticos como uma equipa multidisciplinar motivada, professores conhecedores do ensino a distância e uma estratégia progressiva de mudança do ensino tradicional presencial para o blended-learning.

Abstract: New learning environments such as distance education and computer-aided instruction promise to bring a change in today's learning environments by adjusting the relationship between the learner, the educational content and the organization of education. In this study, we explored whether students' approaches to learning related to their perception of a particular virtual learning environment. Scales of the ASSIST questionnaire were loaded in a two-principal component solution, surface and deep-strategic. We found statistically significant correlations between the approaches to learning and the student's attitudes towards ICT. Early identification of approaches to learning and attitudes towards ICT may prove to be important in order to provide assistance to aid the transition of students with diverse individual characteristics and to the design of new learning environments

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Since 2000, the Centre for Online Health (COH) at The University of Queensland has offered a range of online eHealth courses at the undergraduate and postgraduate level. While online learning has a number of advantages, in some domains, it can present some challenges to the development of practical skills and experience. OBJECTIVE: To assess students' perceptions of the value of an eHealth practicum. METHODS: To supplement our online learning program, we introduced an eHealth practicum component that aimed to expose students to a range of clinically relevant learning experiences. Subsequently, by means of a questionnaire, student perceptions of the practicum were assessed. RESULTS: Over two semesters, a total of 66 students participated in the eHealth practicum, and questionnaire responses were very positive. The majority of students agreed that the practicum allowed them to gain necessary skills in eHealth applications (59%) and provided them with an opportunity to explore ways of using different eHealth tools for the delivery of health care at a distance (62%). CONCLUSIONS: The study shows that a practical component in eHealth teaching was well received by students. While online teaching is appropriate for providing knowledge, the opportunity to develop practical skills may encourage students to use eHealth techniques in their future practices.

Comentário: neste caso tentava-se transmitir aptidões (skills) de tipo prático a estudantes de medicina. Os resultados foram positivos pelo que podemos considerar que o elearning pode ser utilizado também nestes situações de treino prático.

DOI: 10.1056/NEJMp068198

Abstract: This year, my clinic began inviting patients to use a secure Internet link to communicate with physicians and staff members. Self-preservation was high on our list of reasons for establishing online communication. Our patients had become accustomed to contacting us through myriad routes: the clinic telephone, our individual office lines, the hospital paging system, our cell phones, the clinic fax machine, and in some cases, our home telephones. Secure Web messaging about routine issues was an attempt to direct round-the-clock communication into a manageable channel.
Even before we initiated such messaging within a broader model of e-medicine, many patients had begun to use standard e-mail to contact us. Our hospital administrators, however, did not permit us to respond. Standard e-mail was incompatible with our existing electronic health records (EHRs) system and would therefore have been difficult to archive. But the larger problem was that the use of standard e-mail to communicate with patients  was illegal - a violation of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. Patients' privacy could not be guaranteed because our replies would not be secure outside the university's firewall. Armed with strong motivation to enter the electronic age and full awareness of the need to protect ourselves and our patients from the hazards of e-medicine, we ventured forth  cautiously into the online world.
Despite the advantages of e-medicine, physicians, who face ever-increasing demands on their time, are hesitant to accept new responsibilities that might increase their workload. Thus, the issue of physician reimbursement is central both to e-medicine's full adoption by doctors and to its broader acceptance by society. If physicians are compensated fairly for the expertise, thought, and time required to respond to Web messages in a professional manner, they will build time into their schedules for this task.
As the number of providers who accept e-medicine reaches critical mass, more third-party payers (including Medicare) are likely to recognize its efficiencies and include reimbursement for it in contracts with providers. Given the ubiquity of the Internet in the rest of our lives - more than one third of all bill paying is now accomplished online - patients will begin to demand Web services from health care providers and payers.
The "laying on of hands" will increasingly include the pressing of keys. This emerging model will improve the practice of medicine but will also bring new challenges. Physicians will need to develop their skills for quick, clear, and compassionate communication with patients through the written word. E-medicine will also demand from physicians astute judgment about which patients need to be evaluated in person and sound intuition about when patients' emotional needs are better served face to face. In the end, e-medicine, like "traditional" medicine, will remain a human enterprise, filled with the potential for misinterpretation and insensitivity but also for facilitation, comfort, and kindness. It is our task to ensure that e-medicine - now inevitable in some form or many - improves the ways in which we deliver, receive, and pay for health care.
Comentários: este artigo, que é publicado na seção Perspectives do prestigiado The New England Journal of Medicine, reflete sobre a problemática muito complexa da relação médico-doente nas sociedades mais avançadas e da utilização das Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação (TIC) na prática da medicina clínica. As opções dos profissionais de saúde e dos doentes e os aspectos deontológicos, jurídicos e organizacionais são apenas alguns dos tópicos a serem resolvidos antes da generalização do correio eletronico clínico. Nesta fase torna-se crítico definir as melhores estrategias de pedagogia online para dar a necessária formação aos vários atores desta evolução irreversível.
