Lecture is no longer the only tool medial educators have at
their disposal. The advances in technology and electronic
communication have brought about many new tools and more
than a few new toys. Any individual educator would be
challenged to keep abreast of the changes in the landscape
without help. In the Spring Webcast Audio Seminar Series,
Educational Technology Toolkit: A Consumer’s Guide, we
will be seeking to provide some of that help as well as some
spirited conversation as participants have the opportunity
to discuss their own experiences.
In
this Seminar Series, we will present six tools that are at
your disposal as a Medical Educator. Not specific products,
but categories of tools with tips on how and why you might
implement them. Drs. Batten and Baptista will begin the
series with a discussion of Electronic Audience Response
Systems. Dr. Stensaas will focus our attention on the
variety of media resources available freely for educational
use and guide us through both their identification and
organization.
Scott Elliott addresses computer-based testing from the
creation of valid exams through resource needs and finally
implementation. Matt Christian will help us explore the
current market offerings in course management systems and
assist us to identify areas of both policy and procedure to
target for successful e-learning ventures.
With
Dr. Jackson’s seminar, we will return to lecture, examining
how technology can be use to capture and deliver lecture
material outside the traditional classroom setting. Finally,
Dr. Ogilvie will expand our understanding of virtual
microscopy; what technological solutions are available and
how he has successfully implemented it at his institution.
