“…However the pattern was not only seen with the top and bottom quartile but is also seen in the central 25–75% of the class. Another group has reported finding similar to our experience observing that students performing poorly in the entry examination used the CAL programme most and were the individuals with the greatest improvement in grades, although class ranking was not reported[2] Some report the use of CAL as a remedial tool for those performing poorly in conventional evaluation and show improvement of scores following CAL instruction[3]…”

BackgroundOur institution recently introduced a novel internet accessible computer aided learning (iCAL) programme to complement existing surgical undergraduate teaching methods. On graduation of the first full cycle of undergraduate students to whom this resource was available we assessed the utility of this new teaching facility.MethodThe computer programme prospectively records usage of the system on an individual user basis. We evaluated the utilisation of the web-based programme and its impact on class ranking changes from an entry-test evaluation to an exit examination in surgery.Results74.4% of students were able to access iCAL from off-campus internet access. The majority of iCAL usage (64.6%) took place during working hours (08:00–18:00) with little usage on the weekend (21.1%). Working hours usage was positively associated with improvement in class rank (P = 0.025, n = 148) but out-of hours usage was not (P = 0.306). Usage during weekdays was associated with improved rank (P = 0.04), whereas weekend usage was not (P = 0.504). There were no significant differences in usage between genders (P = 0.3). Usage of the iCAL system was positively correlated with improvement in class rank from the entry to the exit examination (P = 0.046). Students with lower ranks on entry examination, were found to use the computer system more frequently (P = 0.01).ConclusionElectronic learning complements traditional teaching methods in undergraduate surgical teaching. Its is more frequently used by students achieving lower class ranking with traditional teaching methods, and this usage is associated with improvements in class ranking.

“…Five articles focused on computer programs designed to provide teaching on specific subjects ( Rothe and Gersting, 2002 ; Karnath, Thornton and Das Carlo, 2003 ; Mahnke et al ., 2004 ; Criley and Nelson, 2006 ; Butter et al ., 2010 ). These included interactive tutorials, an animated heart, an interactive virtual patient simulator which allowed virtual auscultation and an interactive ECG analyser.…”

This article was migrated. The article was marked as recommended. Introduction As traditional clinical teaching faces major obstacles during the COVID-19 pandemic, medical educators look toward remote teaching methods to provide solutions to allow continuation of teaching. Remote methods, teaching delivered other than face-to-face, align with the transformation seen within pedagogy over the last 20 years. Aim The aim of this scoping review was to i) identify existing teaching methods available to remotely teach cardiovascular knowledge or skills and ii) identify if they have been evaluated. Methods A scoping review of the literature was undertaken to synthesise available evidence and examine remote teaching methods for application to undergraduate medical education. Results Forty-two articles were identified which presented remote teaching methods using either teaching based online, computer-programs, digital resources, mobile-phone technology, podcasts, serious gaming, social media or resources to aid self-directed learning. Although results were heterogenous, they gave an indication of the method’s usefulness. However, evaluations were not consistent and if they were, would have strengthened the value of the findings. Conclusion Various remote teaching methods are available to replace face-to-face cardiovascular teaching where this is not possible. Evidence for effectiveness and engagement of individual platforms are variable. Given the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, medical educators should prioritise ongoing evaluation of remote teaching methods and share best practice.

Breath sounds provide relevant information related to lung abnormalities. It is often difficult to differentiate between breath sounds, this is due to the different characteristics of each breath sound. Differentiating the types of breath sounds is crucial in making an accurate diagnosis. Breath sounds are divided into normal breath sounds and abnormal (additional) breath sounds. Normal breath sounds are sounds that originate from the chest wall, such as tracheal, bronchial, bronchovesicular and vesicular breath sounds. Meanwhile, abnormal (additional) breath sounds are breath sounds that indicate an abnormal condition in the respiratory system. Normal and abnormal breath sounds have different characteristics such as intensity, duration, frequency, quality of air flow, air flow pattern, air distribution, body position, location of sound production, changes in pressure and vibration of dense tissue in the lungs.
