Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the effectiveness of video-conferencing as a suitable technology for business process reengineering (BPR) training of 12 health sector participants located in Prince Edward Island, Canada. Design/methodology/approach -An action research was adopted. The participants received training from a remote BPR consultant located in Northern Ireland (UK), with the assistance of local moderators. The focus of the study is concerned with the quality of the learning experience and the important role played by local moderators. Findings -Overall, the use of video-conferencing technology provided a valuable learning experience. It was also cost effective and an efficient use of both the consultant's and the participants' time. A key part of the success of the exercise was the role of one of the local moderators who acted as the "eyes and ears" of the consultant. Originality/value -A general contribution to knowledge is the positioning of the argument developed within the technology diffusion literature. The paper offers important insights into the effective use of video-conferencing technology for BPR training purposes; and Knipe and Lee's evaluation of a video-conferencing experiment in terms of the relationship between the human actors at the remote and local sites is discussed and extended.

“…While pre-pandemic telesupervision research remained predominant in the mental health professions (e.g., psychology, counselling), and in the pre-registration or pre-qualification (i.e., student) and training space, studies of telesupervision practices of registered or qualified healthcare workers, especially in non-mental health areas, remain scarce. A qualitative study of the effectiveness of videoconferencing to support orthopaedic trainees in Queensland (Australia) highlighted the crucial role of selecting the right technology to maximise benefits [ 8 ]. Another pilot qualitative study conducted in Victoria (Australia) in 2012 explored views of registrars, supervisors, and patients on the use of a video camera for remote supervision, identifying some highlights and pitfalls.…”

Characteristics of perceived effective telesupervision practices: A case study of supervisees and supervisors

Introduction Many healthcare workers have switched from face-to-face clinical supervision to telesupervision since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Given the rise in prevalence of telesupervision and continuing remote working arrangements, telesupervision is no longer only limited to rural areas. As this remains an under-investigated area, this study aimed to explore supervisor and supervisee first hand experiences of effective telesupervision. Methods A case study approach combining in-depth interviews of supervisors and supervisees, and document analysis of supervision documentation was used. De-identified interview data were analysed through a reflective thematic analysis approach. Results Three supervisor-supervisee pairs from occupational therapy and physiotherapy provided data. Data analysis resulted in the development of four themes: Benefits vs limitations and risks, not often a solo endeavour, importance of face-to-face contact, and characteristics of effective telesupervision. Discussion Findings of this study have confirmed that telesupervision is suited to supervisees and supervisors with specific characteristics, who can navigate the risks and limitations of this mode of clinical supervision. Healthcare organisations can ensure availability of evidence-informed training on effective telesupervision practices, as well as investigate the role of blended supervision models to mitigate some risks of telesupervision. Further studies could investigate the effectiveness of utilising additional professional support strategies that complement telesupervision, including in nursing and medicine, and ineffective telesupervision practices.

“…Research on effectiveness of training is scarce at present and its objectives have varied greatly. In one of the first studies, Scott, Gururajan, Moloney, and Gururajan (2006) carried out a qualitative analysis of the videoconferencing, using the focus group technique. Their results demonstrated that users showed more preference for the use of videoconferences, ahead of electronic alternative systems, such as e-mail, chat or telephone.…”

This article reports on a research in which a comparison is made between the effectiveness of classroom training and training through videoconference. The sample consisted of 561 adults that participated in training courses for entrepreneurs in both training modalities. The results were analyzed according to the first-level of effectiveness in Kirkpatrick's model of evaluation of training effectiveness. The results show that both training modalities were very well appraised by the participants, but there are differences in the instructor appraisal, who resulted slightly better assessed in the case of classroom training. Finally, the implications of the results are discussed and new research and potential moderators of effectiveness are suggested.
