To present a formative evaluation of the impact of a multimedia case study as a component of a masters course in health informatics delivered by distance learning.
SETTING/PARTICIPANTS/RESOURCES: First and second year health informatics students undertaking four core modules of a masters programme at the University of Sheffield.
Individual qualitative user surveys and interviews.
RESULTS/OUTCOMES: Formative evaluation has played a significant role in refining the case study through its text-based, intermediate and CD-ROM based stages. Feedback from students has resulted in clarification of case study tasks, clearer definition of teaching roles and a revised approach to assessment. At the same time it has highlighted the importance of ongoing revision and maintenance in keeping the scenarios realistic and current.
DISCUSSION/CONCLUSION: The multimedia case study has met many of its original aims in providing greater cohesion for core modules and encouraging greater levels of interaction and multidisciplinary collaboration.
对作为远程学习提供的健康信息学硕士课程一部分的多媒体案例研究的影响进行形成性评估。
背景/参与者/资源：谢菲尔德大学健康信息学专业第一年和第二年的学生，正在攻读硕士课程的四个核心模块。
个人定性用户调查和访谈。
结果/成果：形成性评估在通过基于文本、中间阶段和基于光盘的阶段完善案例研究方面发挥了重要作用。学生的反馈导致案例研究任务得到澄清，教学角色定义更加清晰，评估方法也得到修订。同时，它强调了持续修订和维护以保持情景现实性和时效性的重要性。
讨论/结论：多媒体案例研究在为核心模块提供更大凝聚力以及鼓励更高水平的互动和多学科合作方面，已经实现了许多最初的目标。
