To review the initial experience of blending a variety of online educational techniques with traditional face to face or contact-based teaching methods to deliver final year undergraduate radiology content at a UK Medical School.
The Brighton and Sussex Medical School opened in 2003 and offers a 5-year undergraduate programme, with the final 5 spent in several regional centres. Year 5 involves several core clinical specialities with onsite radiology teaching provided at regional centres in the form of small-group tutorials, imaging seminars and also a one-day course. An online educational module was introduced in 2007 to facilitate equitable delivery of the year 5 curriculum between the regional centres and to support students on placement. This module had a strong radiological emphasis, with a combination of imaging integrated into clinical cases to reflect everyday practice and also dedicated radiology cases. For the second cohort of year 5 students in 2008 two additional online media-rich initiatives were introduced, to complement the online module, comprising imaging tutorials and an online case discussion room.
In the first year for the 2007/2008 cohort, 490 cases were written, edited and delivered via the Medical School managed learning environment as part of the online module. 253 cases contained a form of image media, of which 195 cases had a radiological component with a total of 325 radiology images. Important aspects of radiology practice (e.g. consent, patient safety, contrast toxicity, ionising radiation) were also covered. There were 274,000 student hits on cases the first year, with students completing a mean of 169 cases each. High levels of student satisfaction were recorded in relation to the online module and also additional online radiology teaching initiatives.
Online educational techniques can be effectively blended with other forms of teaching to allow successful undergraduate delivery of radiology. Efficient IT links and good image quality are essential ingredients for successful student/clinician engagement.
回顾将各种在线教育技术与传统的面对面或基于接触的教学方法相结合，在英国医学院提供放射学本科内容的初步经验。
布莱顿和苏塞克斯医学院于 2003 年成立，提供 5 年制本科课程，最后 5 年在几个区域中心完成。第 5 年涉及几个核心临床专业，区域中心提供现场放射学教学，形式为小组辅导、影像研讨会和为期一天的课程。2007 年引入在线教育模块，以促进区域中心之间的 5 年级课程的公平交付，并为实习学生提供支持。该模块具有很强的放射学重点，将影像学与临床病例相结合，反映日常实践，还有专门的放射学病例。2008 年，为第二批第 5 年的学生引入了另外两个在线多媒体倡议，作为在线模块的补充，包括影像教程和在线病例讨论室。
在 2007/2008 年的第一个学年，作为医学院管理的学习环境的一部分，有 490 个病例通过在线模块编写、编辑和提供。253 个病例包含某种形式的图像媒体，其中 195 个病例具有放射学成分，共有 325 张放射学图像。还涵盖了放射学实践的重要方面（例如同意、患者安全、对比毒性、电离辐射）。第一年有 274000 名学生点击病例，学生平均完成 169 个病例。学生对在线模块和其他在线放射学教学倡议的满意度很高。
在线教育技术可以与其他教学形式有效结合，为放射学的本科教学提供成功的方法。高效的 IT 链接和良好的图像质量是成功吸引学生/临床医生的必要条件。
