“…Mbarika et al 21 confirmed that learners had a stronger sense of efficacy and perceived skill development when using multimedia versus paper-based tasks. These attributes are due to the learning-driven constructs within the technology which can be described as challenging, interesting, reflective, and interactive while learning with others.…”

Background:The aim of this review was to summarise the experience on implementation of information technology to support the teaching and learning process in medicine. Particular attention was paid to web-based tutorials, their impact on increasing the effectiveness of medical instruction and motivation of students towards self-directed learning. Most of the studies selected for the purpose of the review comprised evaluation of the web-tutorials in view of practical implementation, strengths, weaknesses, and main preferences in comparison with traditional lecture-based education.Method and results: We searched MEDLINE via PubMed using MeSH term "computer-assisted learning" between 1996 and 2005 and selected for inclusion in this review were studies on the implementation and evaluation of web based tutorials in medical education. Additional related papers were obtained through cross-referencing. We found that overall, students prefer Web tutorials to traditional lecture-based classes for accessibility, ease of use, freedom of navigation, high medical image quality and advantage of repeated practice, that web-based learning has been continually developing and that it is a very important tool in Evidence Based Medicine.Conclusions: Web based education is an important tool in medical training. It will require transformation in the way medicine is taught from instructor based to self directed learning. It is above all seen as a device for information retrieval and storage.

“…Some suggested that video can enhance learning outcomes due to vivid and fascinating presentations; e.g., Nugent [35] compared several components of video presentations and generally found better retention for stories presented via the combination of visual and auditory information than those presented via a single information source. On the other hand, other studies reported little impact of video on learning outcome [14,30]. However, those studies did not use online video.…”

“…These two factors explain 60.768% of the total variance. Because it is common in social science research for a solution to be considered satisfactory if it accounts for around 60% of the total variance (Mbarika et al, 2000), we argue that determining two factors is acceptable.…”

The accelerating diffusion of broadband Internet access provides many opportunities for the development of pedagogically robust Web-based instruction (WBI). While the supporting technology infrastructure of broadband disseminates, the attention of academic researchers focuses upon issues such as the drivers of student usage of WBI. Specifically, the research presented herein examined the impact of WBI on a student's aggregate course performance. We hypothesized that learning independence (LI) is a determinate factor in a student's use of WBI. In this study, we employed structural equation modeling techniques to examine the data and assess the direct and indirect effects of LI on WBI usage. The subjects, students in an introductory Computer Information Systems applications course, used a Web-based tutorial program for skills instruction. The findings of this study suggest that WBI usage has a significant impact on a student's course performance. Despite its plausibility, the effect of LI on WBI usage was not significant. However, we did conclude that two of the second order factors of the LI construct have a direct effect on a student's performance in the course.
