Project background

• E-learning is hot • The amount is ever growing• Often the wheel gets re-invented

Page 4: Pastel Amee2008

www.medicaleducation.nl• Medical E-learning

centralised in one database

• 900+• Searchable• undergraduate

Page 5: Pastel Amee2008

Promising!• E-learning in www.medicaleducation.nl

could be used for post graduate courses

Page 6: Pastel Amee2008

Problem:• Traditional post graduate courses are

assessed by a committee and awarded points for quality (accreditation)

• Doctors need to score a certain amount of accreditation points each year

• No objective quality assessment method to award points to medical E-learning

Goals PASTEL-project

• Developing a quality assesment method for E-learning modules

• Stimulating the use of the approved E-learning in post-graduate courses

Page 15: Pastel Amee2008

Assessment method• Two kinds of assessment:

– medical content– educational soundness

Page 16: Pastel Amee2008

Criteria medical content:

• Correctness of content– Absence of sponsors– Target audience– Estimated time to complete– User-friendliness

• Based on national accreditation guidelines

Page 17: Pastel Amee2008

Educational criteria:

– Are learning goals stated?– How is feedback provided?– How is multimedia used?– How are participants tested?

• Based on researchliterature on effective E-learning

Mayer (2001) “Multimedia learning", Alessi & Trollip (2001) "Multimedia for learning", Cook & Dupras (2005) “a practical guide to developing effective webbased learning”

Weighing process• Most important criteria:

– Does it reflect the latest medical guidelines?– Is it based on good medical practice?– Is it unbiased and free of advertising?– Is it right for the target audience?

– Are goals formulated?– Is feedback provided correctly?

If all are answered “YES”

Page 22: Pastel Amee2008

One or more “NO”• E-learning module gets sent back to

developer with comments by the experts• If developer improves the E-learning

module based on comments: → Stamp of approval

• If developer can not improve the E-learning module based on comments → Stamp of approval denied

Page 23: Pastel Amee2008

Integration medicaleducation.nl

• Forms of assessed E-learning can be viewed medicaleducation.nl

• Approved E-learning module recognizable by stamp of approval

Page 24: Pastel Amee2008

Results• E-learning quality assessment tool• 55 E-learning modules assessed• 33 stamp of approval• Filled out assessment forms can be viewed

in medicaleducation.nl• Approved E-learning will be used in post

graduate courses this fall
