In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, colleges and universities established remote teaching and reestablished best practice-based, active education using discussion boards and other means to promote learner collaboration. Increasingly, social media or open educational technology platforms contribute to blended learning. This short article aims to introduce blogs for delivering barrier-free online education to targeted public audiences and groups of learners. Blogs disseminate ideas within a tangible, searchable, and interactive medium, creating a community of learners who share a common interest. We set forth eLearning Bites (eBites), a medical education blog housed at the Donald and Barbara Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell, which offers easily accessible educational topics aligned with needs from the institution's immediate medical education community. Emphasizing evidencebased, active online learning, eBites finds and merges best practices in medical education with new learning technology. Metrics can be obtained from website analytics tools such as, e.g., Google Analytics providing additional data such as, e.g., number of pageviews or sessions, to elucidate how learners interact with the blog.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
