INTRODUCTION: COVID pandemic shifted healthcare-related education to digital platforms. With the widespread availability of learning management systems like MOODLE, many opportunities exist to create innovative e-modules. Its success depends on the interactive multimedia resources and structural framework. The present study aims to create two patient-centric e-modules on Diabetes and Alcoholic liver disease in Pathology by a medical undergraduate facilitated by faculty and to assess its impact on learning outcomes and learners' perceptions in relation to student seminars...

OBJECTIVE: The quality of dried blood spot (DBS) specimens impacts newborn screening (NBS) results, hence proper training is crucial for DBS specimen collection. To address this, a training module for Allied Health Professionals (AHPs) and nurses was created on Moodle, a virtual learning environment (VLE). The purpose of this research was to determine the feasibility and effectiveness of this module. METHODOLOGY: Participants were trained on-site (March to December 2019), through online training sessions (January to June 2020), and the two training strategies were compared...

OBJECTIVES: To determine the effectiveness of self-directed, case-based learning in cancer pain management via a digital learning platform (e-CBL) in interdisciplinary residents' knowledge and critical thinking skill level. METHODS: The prospective observational study was conducted on 51 first- and second-year residents from anesthesiology, surgery, and family medicine who had not received training in the management of cancer pain and were invited to participate by their Program Director...

Use of digital flashcards promotes active-recall, spaced-repetition and self-assessment academic principles. This work explores the association and dose-dependent effect of this study method and locomotor (LP) and cardiovascular physiology (CP) grades. A single-faculty cohort study of medical LP and CP students was conducted, and 155 and 676 flashcards (respectively) were created through Moodle®. An exploratory analysis examined three exam results (2019), and a confirmatory study used a fourth exam (2021) in another CP cohort...

BACKGROUND: The nursing module teaches basic nursing principles and procedures to undergraduate nursing students. This course is important for the acquisition of procedural and psychomotor skills. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the influence of blended training on the acquisition of practical skills related to gastric insertion tubes. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A quasi-experimental study was undertaken, containing three groups: The blended group benefited from e-learning, followed by simulation), while the two groups benefited from theoretical teaching and procedural simulation...

OBJECTIVE: Which educational method is best for 3-month retention of proper skills in removing personal protective equipment (PPE) in the setting of highly infectious diseases is unclear. We evaluated the effectiveness of a Web-based learning system after 3 months of use. SETTING: One general hospital in Japan.
