“…Ophthalmology Internet-based Course By contrast, a lot of studies have suggested that online courses are becoming more popular, as we could observe in our results, which showed that most participants had already participated and appreciated participating in at least one such program 14,15,20,21 . Thus, although a lot of studies show positive results about Internet-and computer-based courses, the results of our study support several others, in which the participants were reluctant to the use of new technologies, especially regarding medical education.…”

“…Regarding the role of the Internet in the residents' daily routine, our study is in accordance with others already performed in Brazil. A study into the development of an Internet-based plastic surgery course for biomedical students at the University of São Paulo found that, although 94% of the participants have a computer at home, less than 50% of them accessed the internet daily 14 . In another, a questionnaire about…”

Este estudo de natureza exploratória descritiva teve como finalidade descrever a opinião dos discentes quanto à forma e conteúdo de um site educacional e a aplicação deste como recurso instrucional no ensino da Disciplina de Didática em Enfermagem de um Curso de Graduação em Enfermagem de uma escola do município de São Paulo. Os sujeitos do estudo foram alunos matriculados nessa disciplina no primeiro semestre do ano letivo de 2003. Os resultados do estudo demonstraram que os discentes apresentam prontidão ao uso da informática e são favoráveis à adoção de novas metodologias de ensino mediadas pelo computador na enfermagem, na perspectiva de ampliar e diversificar as formas de comunicação entre professores e alunos.

“…PCPs can more easily fit VC-based CME into their schedules and quickly apply the knowledge gained to their practice. 15 While distance learning lacks face-to-face contact with the instructor, 16 Stevens et al 14 found that it actually promotes intimacy and provides safety through the physical distance. Providers can remain within a smaller group of known and trusted local colleagues without sacrificing the ability to interact with the speaker and members at other sites.…”

This study compared the impact of multipoint videoconferencing (VC) versus standard lecturing (ST) on primary care providers' (MDs, NPs/PAs, and RNs) education regarding hepatitis C virus (HCV). The hypothesis was that the educational impact of teaching through telemedicine is comparable to the traditional method. The aim was to provide participants clinically relevant information and knowledge about the natural history, diagnosis, and management of HCV. Improved knowledge was scored from a 10-item quiz administered before and after the educational intervention. Comparison of the pretest knowledge scores within provider groups showed no statistically significant difference in baseline knowledge for the ST versus VC method. However, for all practitioners combined, the VC group scored significantly lower on the pretest than the ST group (p < 0.05). All three types of learners improved their knowledge scores following intervention. On average, MDs and NP/PAs correctly answered two to 3.5 more questions in the posttest. RNs showed the greatest improvements, correctly answering an average of four to five more questions following intervention. Improvement in knowledge scores between the two methods was statistically significant in favor of VC for the MDs (VC = 3.56 +/- 1.92 vs. ST = 2.13 +/- 1.89, p < 0.001) and all groups combined (VC 4.37 +/- 1.92 vs ST 3.06 +/- 1.89, p < 0.001). The results of this study indicate that VC is equivalent, if not better, than standard continuing medical education (CME). VC can potentially improve clinician education regarding the history, diagnosis, and management of HCV, thereby making a substantial impact on the clinical course of patients with this condition. In addition, VC has the potential to eliminate the financial and geographic barriers to professional education for rural practitioners.
