  1. Authoring Virtual Patients – Content Creation on Mobile Devices Luke Woodham, SheetalKavia, Terry Poulton St George’s, University of London

  2. Generation 4 To change the existing PBL curriculum, to create a more interactive, personalised model of course delivery with virtual patients at its core To be delivered in the Transitional year between campus-based learning and clinical attachments, as Clinical PBL Based on 18 adaptive and enriched interactive cases, with 36 formative assessments, integrated with social software/wikis for notes/reflections

  3. Optional formative self-assessment VPs, delivered on the web Related to the topic of the week, delivered at the end of each week Why? Students concentrate on the PBL case of the week and not the broader learning objectives More exposure to a greater range of patient conditions The challenge: Poor take up of the self-assessment cases Assessment Cases

  4. SGUL Mobile Learning Survey • Designed to poll and understand student use of mobile devices • What platforms/devices do they use? • What features/functionalities do they use? • Has been conducted annually since January 2010

  5. MedAssess/MedEdCases • MedAssess • Distributed internally for SGUL students from September 2011 • Staggered release of cases based around curriculum • MedEdCases • Publicly available on Apple app store • Currently includes 39 cases • Initially available for iOS devices. Android version made available September 2012 • Cases can be downloaded and played offline – no need for a permanent network connection • All cases still available on the web so students without devices are not disadvantaged

  6. Feedback • Feedback gathered using an on-line survey • Overall summary • 97 students downloaded the app. Based on mobile survey, 320 students have iOS devices. • Overall the app was scored 8/10 • 88% rated the app easy/very easy to use and none found it difficult/very difficult. • 82% agreed the content of the app was useful • Was rated4.2/5 for usefulness on average

  7. Feedback

  8. Creating VPs on Mobile Devices • Currently all cases in the system are imported from other authoring systems using MVP standard • Time-consuming in terms of quality control and need to check each case • Wanted to be able to author straight to MedEdCases • Benefit from the advantages and intuitive user experiences offered by mobile, multitouch devices
