As enrollment in undergraduate medicine soars, curriculum planners are finding shortfalls in introduction of timely clinical teaching cases, availability of clinical teachers and in standardization of clinical experience for all students. While medical simulation fills this need, it is at the cost of scheduling large classes into small groups along with the difficulty in recruitment of clinicians for debriefing.
We have developed a software that enables teachers with limited computer experience in programming to insert training videos into a template that is linked through cue points to questions, answers, library articles, web-based reference material and other media such as videos, pictures and sound files. Using this annotated video player (AVP), we have scripted training modules that include communication and teamwork, physical examination and problem-based learning cases. Each module enables a self-directed learner to view the video, submit answers to programmed questions, receive immediate feedback, and link to other media to provide a comprehensive learning experience.
In this presentation, the AVP will be showcased and lessons learned discussed.
Our AVP is an easy to use teaching tool for developing cases for self-directed learning.
