  1. MoMEd: An evidence-based large-scale mobile learning initiative

  2. The current model of mobile learning at BSMS Smartphone app offered to all students in years 3-5 with their own device Year 3 Year 4 Year 5

  3. Identification of the potential of mobile devices in medical education BSMS, as a new medical school, wants students to become familiar with mobile technology and take advantage of the technology to explore innovative approaches to teaching and learning. “Use information effectively in a medical context” “Make effective use of computers and other information systems” Prof Jon Cohen, Dean of BSMS, 2003 GMC’s Tomorrow’s Doctors (2009)

  4. What is the impact of putting digital mobile resources in the hands of medical students? How do medical student really use mobile devices in the clinical setting? What barriers exist?How can they be overcome? What is the impact on students’ learning? Mobile Medical Education (MoMEd) - how mobile information resources contribute to learning for undergraduate clinical students: a mixed methods study. Bethany S Davies et al, BMC Medical Education, 2012, 12:1

  5. A large-scale deployment of mobile learning at BSMS Offered to students in years 3, 4, 5 (n=419) Loaned PDA and software for free

  6. Set-up, roll-out, and maintenance requires several specialist roles and teamwork Director of Undergraduate Studies IT Manager Librarian Clinical Research Fellow Divisional assistant IT Technician Learning Technologist

  7. Data collection using triangulation approach Questionnaires Usage stats on server Focus groups

  8. What the usage stats told us Resource popularity

  9. Enabling the students’ learning

  10. Barriers to the students’ learning

  12. Pilot of the Dr Companiontmapp with students’ own devices (BYOD) 4 month trial 48 students with own iOS device Contract to self-report usage and focus group participation No cross-search tool No usage tracking

  13. Use of app version was significantly higher and more highly praised (although psychosocial barriers remained) Frequency of use went up to 90% “I use WAY less Google/Wikipedia!!!” “Fast access to trusted facts” “I've been quite reluctant to use it in front of patients/doctors” Wish list: cross-search tool, medical dictionary, anatomy, module handbooks, quizzes, videos…

  14. The current model at BSMS is app with BYOD Offered to all students in years 3-5 with their own device Year 3 Year 4 Year 5

  15. The student perspective

  16. Four key areas to highlight following our research

  17. Considerations for tomorrow…
