The use of two different educator-centric learning management systems (LMSs), Moodle and Manila, for radiology e-learning was formatively evaluated and the implications of the future use of LMSs in radiology education were explored. NeuroRAD, a neuroradiologic digital library and learning community, is implemented with Moodle, one of the most popular open-source educator-centric LMSs. Pediatric-Education.org, a pediatric digital library and learning community, is implemented with Manila, a commercial educator-centric LMS. Quantitative and qualitative analyses of these LMSs were performed with World Wide Web server log file statistical programs and user-submitted comment forms. In 2005, NeuroRAD was used by 9959 visitors, who read 98,495 pages of information, whereas PediatricEducation .org was used by 91,000 visitors, who read 186,000 pages of information. Visitors represented a wide spectrum of medical learners and used the sites to answer clinical questions; to prepare for lectures, conferences, and informal teaching sessions; and to stay up-to-date and prepare for examinations. Early results indicate that radiology learning communities can be implemented with educator-centric LMSs relatively easily and at low cost by radiologists with minimal computer expertise, and can find receptive and appreciative audiences. Online radiology learning communities could play a significant role in providing education to radiologists the world over throughout their careers.
对使用两种不同的以教育者为中心的学习管理系统（LMS）——Moodle和Manila进行放射学电子学习进行了形成性评估，并探讨了LMS在放射学教育中未来使用的意义。NeuroRAD是一个神经放射学数字图书馆和学习社区，它是与最受欢迎的开源以教育者为中心的LMS之一Moodle一起实施的。Pediatric-Education.org是一个儿科数字图书馆和学习社区，它是与商业以教育者为中心的LMS Manila一起实施的。使用万维网服务器日志文件统计程序和用户提交的评论表单对这些LMS进行了定量和定性分析。2005年，NeuroRAD有9959名访问者使用，他们阅读了98495页信息，而PediatricEducation.org有91000名访问者使用，他们阅读了186000页信息。访问者代表了广泛的医学学习者群体，他们使用这些网站来回答临床问题；为讲座、会议和非正式教学课程做准备；以及了解最新信息和为考试做准备。早期结果表明，放射科医生在计算机专业知识最少的情况下，相对容易且低成本地使用以教育者为中心的LMS来实施放射学学习社区，并且可以找到乐于接受和欣赏的受众。在线放射学学习社区在为全球放射科医生的整个职业生涯提供教育方面可以发挥重要作用。
