Today's students are generally computer literate and have high expectations of university information technology resources. Most United Kingdom medical schools now provide networked computers for learning, research, communication and accessing the worldwide web. We have exploited these advances to augment and improve the teaching of peri-operative medicine and anaesthesia to medical students in our university, who are taught in several hospitals over a wide geographical area. Course material such as departmental induction information, lecture notes and assessment sheets can be accessed online, contributing to the smooth running of the course. Streamed videos and simulations allow students to familiarise themselves with common practical procedures in advance. Development of a web-based end of course assessment has resulted in substantially less administration and bureaucracy for course organisers and proved to be a valuable research tool. Students' and teachers' opinions of the new course structure have been overwhelmingly positive. |
