A NEW ONLINE INTERACTIVE PROBLEM BASED LEARNING PROGRAMME IN MEDICINE: A TUTOR'S PERSPECTIVEElla Iskrenko, Trupti Jivram, and Terry Poulton |
||
During a Problem-Based Learning (PBL) tutorial, students explore patient scenarios, considering issues and solving problems as they work through a scenario, page by page. This study explored the impact on student behaviour of the replacement of these paper-based linear PBL scenarios with interactive 'branching' virtual patients. At key moments in the case, students are offered patient management options, take decisions, and explore the consequences of their decisions. This study has looked at the subsequent changes in individual and group behaviour, considering the length of discussion, the proportion of students involved, and evidence of increased 'community' while considering options. |
