Teaching and Technology: Great or Glitz (Webinar Wednesday)
- Registration Closed
Models of teaching in medical education are rapidly evolving. In the current era, technology has become an important component in medical education. Use of technologies such as podcasts, social media platforms, mobile apps, and simulations is accelerating in this changing educational environment. Technology can promote collaborative learning, improve communication and knowledge sharing, and can help educators deliver timely and effective feedback. However, evolving technology can lead to challenges. Therefore, it is imperative that medical educators gain insight into the positive impact of technology and be appropriately trained to use it.
Because today’s learners are already accustomed to technology-enhanced learning environments medical educators must learn (a) how to integrate technology into curricular and instructional framework and (b) how to address the challenges from technology in providing medical education.
Teaching and Technology: Great or Glitz will prepare medical educators to become familiar with the
impact and trends in technology in the health care learning environment and how
to enrich their teaching environment through the use of social media, apps, and
simulation.
