Surgical e-learning: validation of multimedia web-based lectures

Abstract

The addition of aural files to the novel web-based lecture series is face valid and results in significantly increased examination performance.

E-learning in orthopedic surgery training: A systematic review

“…23,24 Many orthopedic programs train with cadavers, which are not standardized, require dedicated space, cost, supply, and legal issues. 17 E-learning platforms are flexible, standardized, archived, reused, and free the institution from the costly specialized facilities necessary to house a cadaver-based program to prepare residents for operating room.…”

Can online technology be reliably used to improve education? A prospective study using neurovascular examination of the upper and lower limbs

“…The advantages of incorporating audiovisual elements to an educational instruction to enhance learning are well recognized with an increase org/10.15694/mep.2017.000084 in knowledge retention and technical proficiency (Collins et al, 2015) , (Mehrabi et al, 2000) , (Ridgway et al, 2007). Audiovisual instruction provides a mental standard to which trainees can compare their performance (Custers, Regehr, McCulloch, Peniston, & Reznick, 1999).…”

Online Lectures in Undergraduate Medical Education: Scoping Review (Preprint)

“…Moreover, students showed increased knowledge in the subject material at hand, as evaluated by pre-and post-lecture knowledge assessment [11,[13][14][15]17,19,21,22,24,25,27,[29][30][31][32]. Finally, multiple studies demonstrated that knowledge was equivalent (or better) between students learning through online lectures compared to traditional learning modalities, such as live didactic lectures [8,9,12,19,22,23,25,28,[33][34][35][36][37][38], with the exception of one study that found superior student knowledge acquisition from live lectures [39].…”

“…Regardless of the method of assessment, almost all studies reported high satisfaction and increased knowledge after intervention. Student self-assessment typically revealed positive attitudes toward online lectures as a teaching modality [7,8,[11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28]. Moreover, students showed increased knowledge in the subject material at hand, as evaluated by pre-and post-lecture knowledge assessment [11,[13][14][15]17,19,21,22,24,25,27,[29][30][31][32].…”
