  17. Promotions….. • Word processing/email  communication skills • Database & Spreadsheet programs organizational skills

  18. Bring in Change or You are Lost ? If you think that you can run an organisation in the next 10 years as you've run it in the past 10 years you're out of your mind."CEO, Coca Cola Dr.T.V.Rao MD

  19. Old world: Doctors practice primarily as individuals New world: Doctors work predominantly in teams Role of Doctor is Changing Dr.T.V.Rao MD

  20. Old world: Source of knowledge is expert opinion New world:Source of knowledge is systematic review of evidence Definition of Knowledge is Changing Dr.T.V.Rao MD

  21. Learner Characteristics

  22. Audio • Mobile phone • Music Visual • Television • Web lecture Interaction • Web surfing • Instant messaging Students are Multichannel, Multitasking Dr.T.V.Rao MD

  23. Why Technology ? Practice See one, do one, teach one Precertified on procedure Virtual hospital Simulations Content Books, Lectures CDs, Internet, Databases Dr.T.V.Rao MD

  24. What’s Going On in Technology? • Key Technology Trends • Smaller • Faster • Cheaper • More mobile • Changing often • Converging • Ubiquitous

  25. E-learning is Supported Technologies Synchronous and Asynchronous Technologies Dr.T.V.Rao MD

  26. The Learner Is the Center

  27. Synchronous Technologies Internet Classroom • Internet meeting software is used to create a virtual Internet classroom • Classes engage in discussion, materials exchange, presentations, and testing • Development time for creating an Internet class is significant • Outcomes in terms of flexibility and innovation are worth the time Dr.T.V.Rao MD

  28. Asynchronous Technologies Email • Allows for teacher-student and student-student communication • Provides method for materials exchange through attachments • Offer opportunity for thoughtful exchange by all participants Dr.T.V.Rao MD

  29. E-mail Guidelines · Don't use the "To" field when e-mailing more than one person ·  Include a relevant "Subject" line ·  Don't overuse the "High Priority" option ·  Be concise and to the point · Don't write in all capital letters ·  Check for writing errors ·  Use simple formats (continued)

  30. E-mail Guidelines (continued) ·Don't send attachments unless absolutely necessary · Keep abbreviations to a minimum ·  Limit "smilies" to casual correspondence ·  Include a brief signature · Read before you send ·  Think before you send ·  Maintain the thread

  31. Old world: Most of what doctors need to know is in their heads New world: Doctors must use information tools constantly Doctors need change to be well informed Dr.T.V.Rao MD

  32. Selecting the Right Models • No single model or strategy exists, but many successful models exist to emulate. • Best choices are built on • Learner characteristics • Level of preparation • Preferred delivery modes • Technologies, support, & services available • Faculty characteristics • Institutional goals

  33. Use Rationalism in Power point Teaching • PowerPoint is best used when students are expected to retain complex graphics, animation, and figures. For alphanumeric information (e.g. text and numbers) PowerPoint as well as traditional presentations can be used.

  34. Traditional Teaching still Impressive • If students are expected to retain information and/or concepts that are best conveyed through dialog or verbal explanation, traditional presentationsappear to be best. Dr.T.V.Rao MD

  35. Faculty Development Is Key • Faculty are in a difficult place & faculty development is the key to change • Need to engage students • Need to maintain & develop their skills • Need to move outside the learning environment in which they started and were successful

  36. Developing Faculty to Use Technology with Success • Pedagogy first, built on the science of learning. • Resistance is futile; no more “stuff and dump” passive learners. • Create active learning environments that invite understanding, and may include interactive face-to-face lecturing. • Transformative faculty development is essential—opportunities to apply technology-enhanced learning practices to faculty’s own courses within their disciplines. • Good reasons for changing are critical. • Adapted from Educause Review, “Active Learning and Technology”
