Description
ABSTRACT Innovative use of standardized patients (SPs) in a telemedicine environment can improve learning outcomes and clinical competencies. This randomized, cross-over study examined the relationship of technology-based strategies and the improvement of knowledge outcomes and competencies. Results showed that the innovative use of SPs and telemedicine, compared to a traditional distance learning teaching methodology, significantly improved learning outcomes. In addition, there was a significant increase in performance motivation and an interesting decrease in student satisfaction that may be linked to the pressure of performance-based learning. This article addresses knowledge improvement only. ********** THE DEMAND FOR ALTERNATIVES TO TRADITIONAL EDUCATIONAL APPROACHES HAS EXPANDED MORE RAPIDLY THAN ANYONE COULD HAVE PREDICTED A GENERATION AGO. Many preschool-aged children regularly log onto the Internet, while their older siblings use a wide array of educational software and Internet interfaces to complete homework, explore research topics, and, in some cases, take courses for credit. Adults may use educational software or Internet interfaces to explore topics of interest to them, earn continuing education credits, or complete a formal education program. As our society becomes more computer literate and access to learning technologies more uniform, it is expected that educational offerings delivered largely, or exclusively, by some type of technological interface will expand.
