In early 2020, the rapid spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) began to shake the world. As the resulting pandemic, quickly dubbed COVID-19, unfolded, we learned to enact public health safety measures to reduce or prevent its spread, particularly "social distancing," an expression once alien but now understood all too well. Consequently, many sought online resources when they would have previously accessed them in person. We have used Facebook Live for several years to discuss radiology topics and, on occasion, interview experts in the medical field and beyond. Much like live television, Facebook Live enables creators like us to share videos with followers in real time. Unlike live television, Facebook Live allows viewers to leave comments and questions in real time, rendering the platform much more interactive. Because Facebook Live has been a helpful tool for us to speak to radiology students and professionals around the world, we looked for another way to continue our interviews on Facebook Live while maintaining social distancing. We have managed to continue our interviews while socially distanced using the video communications software Zoom. With an increasing number of people migrating to online technology, the widespread use of social media for radiology education is imminent. We encourage others to consider mixing Facebook Live and Zoom to create more holistic educational experiences for radiology in the digital world. The COVID-19 pandemic has taught us that life can change unexpectedly and quickly, but online education is here to stay.
2020 年初,严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒 2(SARS-CoV-2)的迅速传播开始撼动世界。随着这一迅速演变为大流行的疾病,即所谓的 COVID-19,我们学会了采取公共卫生安全措施来减少或防止其传播,特别是“社交距离”,这个曾经陌生但现在却再熟悉不过的术语。因此,许多人在以前会亲自前往的情况下,转而寻求在线资源。我们已经使用 Facebook Live 讨论放射学主题好几年了,有时还会采访医学领域内外的专家。就像现场直播电视一样,Facebook Live 使我们这样的创作者能够实时与关注者分享视频。与现场直播电视不同,Facebook Live 允许观众实时发表评论和提问,使平台更具交互性。因为 Facebook Live 是我们与世界各地的放射学学生和专业人士交流的有用工具,所以我们在寻找另一种方法来继续在 Facebook Live 上进行采访,同时保持社交距离。我们成功地使用视频通信软件 Zoom 实现了在保持社交距离的情况下继续进行采访。随着越来越多的人迁移到在线技术,社交媒体在放射学教育中的广泛使用迫在眉睫。我们鼓励其他人考虑将 Facebook Live 和 Zoom 混合使用,为数字世界中的放射学创造更全面的教育体验。COVID-19 大流行告诉我们,生活可能会出人意料地迅速改变,但在线教育已经到来。
