Modern learners have immediate, unlimited access to a wide variety of online resources To appeal to this current generation of learners, educators must embrace the use of technology. However, educators must balance newer, novel technologies with traditional methods to achieve the best learning outcomes. Therefore, we aimed to review several papers useful for faculty members wishing to incorporate technology into instructional design.
We identified a broad list of papers relevant to teaching and learning with technology within the online discussions of the Academic Life in Emergency Medicine (ALiEM) Faculty Incubator. This list was augmented with suggestions by a guest expert (BT) and an open call on Twitter (tagged with the #meded and #FOAMed hashtags) yielding 24 papers. We then conducted a modified three-round Delphi process within the authorship group, including junior and senior faculty members, to identify the most impactful papers.
We pared the list of 24 papers to five that were most highly rated. Two were research papers and three were commentaries or editorials. The authorship group reviewed and summarized these papers with specific consideration to their value to junior educators and faculty developers.
This is a key reading list for junior faculty members and faculty developers interested in teaching with technology. The commentary contextualizes the importance of these papers for medical educators, to optimize use of technology in their teaching or incorporate into faculty development.
现代学习者能够即时、无限制地获取各种各样的在线资源。为了吸引当代学习者,教育工作者必须接受技术的使用。然而,教育工作者必须在更新颖的技术与传统方法之间取得平衡,以实现最佳的学习成果。因此,我们旨在回顾几篇对希望将技术融入教学设计的教职员工有用的论文。
我们在急诊医学学术生活(ALiEM)教员孵化器的在线讨论中确定了一份与技术教学相关的广泛论文清单。这份清单通过一位客座专家(BT)的建议以及在推特上的公开征集(使用#meded和#FOAMed标签)进行了扩充,从而得到24篇论文。然后,我们在包括初级和高级教员的作者团队中进行了一轮改进的三轮德尔菲法,以确定最具影响力的论文。
我们将24篇论文的清单缩减为五篇评分最高的论文。其中两篇是研究论文,三篇是评论或社论。作者团队对这些论文进行了评审和总结,并特别考虑了它们对初级教育工作者和教员发展人员的价值。
这是一份对有兴趣进行技术教学的初级教员和教员发展人员的关键阅读清单。该评论阐述了这些论文对医学教育工作者的重要性,以便在他们的教学中优化技术的使用或将其纳入教员发展。
