“…A pilot study done in the field of dermatology suggested that interactive IT based self learning modules could be combined effectively with a "play area concept". Although these did not improve student performance in their written examinations, the authors have opined that these modules would promote self-directed learning among students and thus enhance the quality of teaching and learning in dermatology [6]. Similarly, in a study where free online otolaryngology educational modules were provided to residents, quantifiable improvement in examination scores was not noted.…”

Background/Need for innovation: Undergraduate students in Otolaryngology are on the lookout for easy modes of learning which can help them understand concepts better as well as score more in examinations. A need was hence felt to introduce a new learning resource to supplement traditional teaching-learning methods. Methods: Digital, case based self-study modules were prepared using all open source technology and validated by experts in the specialty. The modules were uploaded on a website specifically created for the purpose. They were pilot tested on twenty consenting third year undergraduate (MBBS) students using a crossover design. Post test comprising of multiple choice questions was administered to the students after a period of two weeks. Feedback was obtained from faculty and students. Results: Test scores were found to be significantly higher amongst students who used the learning modules as a supplement to regular bedside teaching (p < 0.001; Wilcoxon signed rank test). Majority of students agreed that the modules helped them gain confidence during internal assessment examinations and would help revision. Conclusions: Online, case based, self-study modules helped students to perform better when used as a supplement to traditional teaching methods. Students agreed that it enabled easy understanding of subject and helped them gain confidence.

“…Os cursos de especialização da rede UNA-SUS são pioneiros no que se refere à formação de especialistas, utilizando a modalidade EAD de forma pura. Estratégias semelhantes ocorrem em diversos países [17][18][19] , a exemplo da estratégia EviMed (www.evimed.net), que promove, cursos sobre diversos tópicos da medicina voltados a educação médica continuada na América Latina e Caribe. Contudo, a maior parte dessas iniciativas constitui-se de cursos autoinstrucionais, nos quais os alunos realizam as atividades de forma autônoma.…”

O objetivo desse estudo foi descrever o processo de criação dos conteúdos do Curso de Especialização em Saúde da Família (EspSF) promovido pela UNA-SUS/UFCSPA, modalidade a distância, de acordo com características de cada região onde o curso é ofertado. Parte do curso de EspSF é baseada na aprendizagem a partir de casos clínicos complexos. Alguns casos clínicos do curso foram personalizados de acordo com a região do país (norte, nordeste ou sul) onde o profissional atua, considerando características epidemiológicas e socioculturais de cada região. Com a adaptação de 12 casos complexos às realidades dos estados do Pará e de Sergipe, o curso, que foi inicialmente pensado a partir de características do estado do Rio Grande do Sul, pode ser oferecido aos referidos estados, mantendo a sua característica de fidedignidade às situações, as quais o profissional está exposto no seu cotidiano.
