New Directions in Educational Technology Research • Chris Candler – Moderator • Jorge Ruiz – The Use of Evidence-Based Multimedia Principles in the Design of E-learning Resources • Michael Fordis – Self-Assessment Research: What we’ve learned and where we are going • David Cook -- The Research Agenda: The failure of research in educational technology to inform practice, and what we can do about it
Framing Questions • Which educational theories, principles, or features should be considered when developing effective educational technology? • What advantages do the various educational technologies provide over conventional educational approaches? • What are the most significant gaps in the educational technology literature?
AAMC Colloquium Findings • Educational technology is widely used in medical education & has many advantages • The current evidence base is anemic • There are research-based guidelines for multimedia and human-patient simulation • We should not ask “Does it work?” but rather, “How and when is it most effective?”
