  2. eLearning in the College of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine E-Learning E-Teaching E-Logistics E-Administration E-Participation E-Research E-everything? ‘Healthcare Education Informatics’

  3. Awarded one of the Queen’s Anniversary Prizes in 2005 eLearning architecture

  4. BackgroundFive schools: 3 medical, 1 vet and 1 UG supportSmallest UoE College:2000+ undergraduate students - MBChB and BVM&S1000 postgraduate students CLIVE consortium (1993)New MBChB curriculum (1998) MVMLTS: e-Learning, Medical Illustration, IT Services (1999)

  5. Undergraduate Medics 5 year integrated MBChB curriculum ~1,300 students, working across SE Scotland Vertical themes Response to GMC’s Tomorrows Doctors EEMeC: Edinburgh Electronic Medical Curriculum Now in 6th year Extensive use - core scaffold for much of the programme’s activities

  6. Edinburgh Electronic Medical Curriculum Virtual Learning Environment for all students and staff of the MBChB: • Noticeboards • Discussion • Course materials • eTutorials • Virtual Patients • Timetabling • Portfolio • Web hosting • Assessment management • Course evaluation

  7. Exemplar ApplicationsVirtual Patients: ‘George’ for respiratory system Now also for reproductive system, alcohol, diabetes, paediatrics Developing cardiovascular, renal, statistics, musculoskeletal Core strategic development of Virtual HospitaleDrug:Core MBChB drugs presented as a formulary Searchable, annotatable Linked to curriculum resources Teacher adaptable

  8. Exemplar Applications OSCA:Based on OSCE Station-based Specialist question formats (prescribing) Years 3, 4 and 5 end of year examsAssessment Engine:Full MBChB assessment management Standard setting (moderated Angoff) Data manipulation Release to students and their DOSs

  9. Undergraduate Vets Five year BVM&S programme~600 studentsEEVeC: developed from EEMeC but also: • Lecture, practical, cases databases • Learning object management • Extra Mural Studies 2 - logistics and tracking • Virtual Farm • Curriculum mapping

  10. Lecture Database - Learning Objects Each lecture is an object with component synopsis, member of staff etc - linked to timetable and coursebooks Linked to these (as relational objects) are: Lecture materials: (notes/slides/handouts) Self assessment quizzes Online tutorials Reference materials Learning objectives/outcomes Other (nodal) information

  11. Postgraduates: EEPoP EEPoP covers the PG community for the College of MVM Accommodates varied research and taught programmes Provides common tools and structure to disparate community - VLE for taught PG and VRE for research students and supervisors Supports and encourages greater, enriched interaction between supervisors and students - and between otherwise isolated students Creates comprehensive personal profile/portfolio Broad system integration

  12. EROS Edinburgh Reusable Object Sequencer Circa 500 modules developed by staff across the College. Examples include PathCAL, George, Hannah, Alcohol Family and Resuscitation Skills Training Web-based staff authoring interface - allows experimentation and development of ideas as well as collaborative and remote development Individual student performance tracked Quick, easy and effective development of interactive content

  13. CLIVE Computer-aided Learning in Veterinary Education Started 1993 TLTP programme Consortium of all 6 UK vet schools Associate members worldwide Software development house - 120+ titles Moving to e-commerce What happens when ‘exe’ is no longer sexy? RECAL method - Los, runtime etc

  14. Forth Suite Based on Macromedia Breeze Synchronous meetings Recorded - audio, webcam, shared desktop, whiteboard, superimposition Media rich presentations - PPT add-in, not Breeze dependent APIs allow dynamic integration with other e3 systems - agent tools

  15. Labyrinth Path-based CALs Decision pathways, browse paths, algorithms, games Web-based authoring and run-time Web services allow third-party inline run-time Manage score as time, points, money or other items Collect and use artefacts Import/export XML

  16. Research and Development RECAL (LDF funded) - www.recal.mvm.ed.ac.uk long life CAL disaggregated resources, activity design and runtime true object model ACETS (JISC funded) - www.acets.ac.uk what really happens with reuse Exemplars Analysis and reporting Academics face huge barriers to reuse … … but not technical barriers!

  17. Research and Development CHERRI (JISC funded) - www.cherri.mvm.ed.ac.uk use and reuse of clinical recordings for academic non-clinical settings (CRANCS). Clinical Commons - C+LM model Also… Virtual patients Constructive alignment of e-learning Metadata Web-services and architecture Game-informed Learning Interoperability

  18. PartnersWorld Health Organisation: Health AcademyNHS Education ScotlandMedbiquitousScottish Deans’ Medical Curriculum GroupHE AcademyRoyal CollegesJISCCharities and Professional Societiesmany others

  19. Working principles… User involvement and identity within systems and activities Holistic user modeling - not mono-dimensional functions or systems Constructive alignment - proximal development Light and adaptable systems Abstracted levels and components Common technical and semantic interoperability standards and specifications Integration, extensibility and adaptability
