“…However, the need to distribute education to different sites in an equitable and comparable way requires systems, structures and processes to effectively support distribution. Relatedly, the actual work of being a medical teacher has also changed, and now involves a variety of essential, but somewhat invisible tasks, that differentiate this work from what it might have been historically, not unlike in the broader context of higher education (Blin & Munro, 2008;Breen et al, 2001;Kirkwood & Price, 2013;Unwin, 2007).…”

Distributed medical education (DME) is becoming increasingly prevalent. Much of the published literature on DME has focused on the experiences of learners in distributed programs; however, our empirical work leads us to believe that DME changes the context significantly, not only for learners, but also for other important members of the educational community including: audiovisual professionals, administrative professionals and faculty teachers. Based on a three-year ethnographic study, we provide a detailed account of how alliances between various workers involved in DME develop to produce and deliver an undergraduate medical curriculum across geographically separate campuses. We explore the question 'What is the work involved in the delivery of a DME program?' and cast a critical gaze on the essential but invisible, and therefore unrecognized and underappreciated, contributions of AV professionals, administrative professionals, and faculty teachers. Our goal is to make visible the complexity of DME, including the essential contributions of these workers. The study was theoretically framed in sociomateriality and conceptually framed in Star and Strauss' notion of articulation work.

“…Participants in the case study were undergraduate students who were asked to take part in some institutional research that was intended to inform university policy on the provision of its IT resources. The case study was published in Studies in Higher Education (Breen et al, 2001) and has been selected as an example for several reasons.…”

This article guides readers through the decisions and considerations involved in conducting focus-group research investigations into students' learning experiences. One previously published focus-group study is used as an illustrative example, along with other examples from the field of pedagogic research in geography higher education. An approach to deciding whether to use focus groups is suggested, which includes a consideration of when focus groups are preferred over one-to-one interviews. Guidelines for setting up and designing focus-group studies are outlined, ethical issues are highlighted, the purpose of a pilot study is reviewed, and common focus-group analysis and reporting styles are outlined.

“…Christie et al (2002) argued that ICTs drastically changing both workplaces and the educational site (Christie et al, 2002). This was previously debated by Breen et al (2001) and Wenglinski (1998) who also alleged that the growth in the educational use of ICTs does prove that these modern technologies can facilitate education (Breen et al, 2001;Wenglinski, 1998).…”

With the quick emergence of computers and related technology, Electronic-learning (E-learning) and Information Communication and Technology (ICT) have been extensively utilized in the education and training field. Miscellaneous methods of integrating computer technology and the context in which computers are used have affected student learning in many different ways. Integration of technology can help to create courses that are easier and more effective for learners, especially if ICT and E-learning are integrated into the educational process. ICT, when used in a sufficient and suitable manner, can help learners to understand IT better. Moreover, it can help learners to use the absolutely necessary skills which can guarantee success in empowering the learners with IT awareness and skills which are essential for success in today's knowledge economy. This study aims to conduct a survey on the role of E-learning and ICT courses in educational environment. By having ICT courses available online via E-learning, every learner will adapt and be comfortable with the continuous upcoming technologies and innovations.
