A pediatric injury prevention course has not been available as a massive open online course (MOOC). Creating a comprehensive topic course is particularly challenging because the traditional, week-by-week linear curriculum design is often a barrier to learners interested in only specific topics. We created a novel, flexible course as both a 'choose your topic' MOOC for the public learner and a Small Private Online Course (SPOC) for medical students.
We describe creating '', a course of 59 video learning segments within eight modules taught by a multidisciplinary panel of 25 nationally-recognized experts. Completion tracking and course evaluations were collected.
In 2.5 years, 4,822 learners from 148 countries have enrolled. Two-thirds of learners were female. Median age of learners was 31 years. For engagement, 19.3% (n = 932) of learners attempted quizzes, and 5.2% (n = 252) participated in online forum discussions. Medical professionals (n = 162) claimed an average of 13 credit hours per learner. Over 200 senior medical students have taken the SPOC.
'' is a novel approach to injury prevention education that is broad, science-based, accessible, and not cost-prohibitive for a diverse group of global learners.
儿科伤害预防课程尚未作为大规模开放式在线课程 (MOOC) 提供。创建一门综合性的主题课程特别具有挑战性,因为传统的、每周一次的线性课程设计往往是那些只对特定主题感兴趣的学习者的障碍。我们创建了一门新颖的、灵活的课程,既是面向公众学习者的“选择您的主题”MOOC,也是医学生的小型在线课程 (SPOC)。
我们介绍了创建“儿科伤害预防 MOOC”的过程,这是一门由 25 名全国知名专家组成的多学科小组教授的 59 个视频学习片段的课程,分为八个模块。我们收集了完成跟踪和课程评估数据。
在 2.5 年内,来自 148 个国家的 4822 名学习者注册了该课程。三分之二的学习者为女性。学习者的中位数年龄为 31 岁。在参与度方面,有 19.3%(n=932)的学习者尝试了测验,5.2%(n=252)的学习者参与了在线论坛讨论。医学专业人员(n=162)声称每位学习者平均获得 13 个学分。超过 200 名高年级医学生参加了 SPOC。
“儿科伤害预防 MOOC”是一种新颖的伤害预防教育方法,它广泛、基于科学、易于获取,并且对于全球多样化的学习者来说,成本并不高昂。
