We aimed to explore medical students' online learning patterns and needs by analyzing data obtained from an e-learning portal of Korean medical schools.
Data were obtained from learning resources and registered users of the e-learning portal by the consortium of 36 Korean medical schools, e-MedEdu (www.mededu.or.kr) over a period of 10 years. Data analytics were performed of its contents and usage patterns using descriptive statistics.
The website currently has over 1,600 resources, which have almost tripled over the past decade, and 28,000 registered users. Two hundred and twenty medical faculty have contributed the resources; a majority of them were clinical cases and video clips, which accounted for 30% and 27% of all resources, respectively. The website has received increasing hits over the past decade; annual website hits increased from 80,000 in 2009 to over 300,000 in 2018. The number of hits on resources varied across resource types and subjects; 90% of all website hits were on online videos, and 28% of them originated from mobile devices. Among the online videos, those on procedural skills received more hits than those on patient encounters and video lectures.
Our findings demonstrate the increasing use of e-learning in medical education in Korea over the past decade. Our study also shows a wide disparity in the frequency of use in learning resources across resource types and subjects, which have implications for improvements in the design and development of learning resources to better meet medical students' curricular needs and their learning styles.
我们旨在通过分析从韩国医学院校的一个电子学习门户网站获取的数据，探索医学生的在线学习模式和需求。
数据由韩国36所医学院校组成的联盟e-MedEdu（www.mededu.or.kr）在10年时间里从电子学习门户网站的学习资源和注册用户中获取。使用描述性统计对其内容和使用模式进行数据分析。
该网站目前有超过1600种资源，在过去十年中几乎增加了两倍，还有28000名注册用户。220名医学教师提供了这些资源；其中大部分是临床病例和视频片段，分别占所有资源的30%和27%。在过去十年中，该网站的点击量不断增加；网站年点击量从2009年的80000次增加到2018年的超过300000次。不同资源类型和学科的资源点击量各不相同；所有网站点击量的90%来自在线视频，其中28%来自移动设备。在在线视频中，操作技能类视频的点击量高于患者诊疗类视频和视频讲座。
我们的研究结果表明，在过去十年中，韩国医学教育中电子学习的使用日益增加。我们的研究还显示，不同资源类型和学科的学习资源使用频率存在很大差异，这对改进学习资源的设计和开发以更好地满足医学生的课程需求及其学习风格具有启示意义。
