Reported advantages of digital and electronic media in education include selfpaced learning, flexibility in scheduling study time, improved access to materials, enhanced ability of the instructor to utilise multiple teaching strategies (Ford et al, 2005;Osborn & Tentinger, 2003;Smith, Cavanaugh, Jones, Venn, & Wilson, 2006a), decreased faculty instruction time (Ford et al, 2005;Kosmahl, 1994), repetition of instructional material (Smith et al, 2006b) and the ability to add graphical enhancements (Boucher, Hunter, & Henry, 1999;TothCohen, 1994).…”

Purpose: Multimedia is an effective tool to teach psychomotor skills to health care students. Video podcasting is a next step as educators seek methods to present psychomotor skills efficiently. The purposes of this pilot study were (1) compare the effectiveness of video podcasting to live demonstration for teaching psychomotor skills to Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) students; (2) examine students' attitudes toward podcasts and (3) examine study behaviour of DPT students. Methods: Faculty developed podcasts depicting two sets of psychomotor skills for a basic skills course. A crossover design was utilised. For skill set #1, group A received podcasts and group B received live demonstration. For skill set #2, group A received live demonstration and group B received podcasts. Results: There were no differences in exam scores between groups and study behaviour varied significantly in one instance. Students' attitudes were discussed. Conclusions: Podcasting was as effective as live demonstration for presenting basic skills.

“…The majority of studies performed found no significant differences between traditional and CAL instruction (Barker, 1988;Boucher, Hunter, and Henry, 1999;Bukowski, 2002;Carbonaro et al, 2008;Dennis, 2003;Kinney, Keskula, and Perry, 1997;Lim, Marriott, Potter, and Clayton-Krasinski, 2000;Plack, 2000;Sanford et al, 1996;Smith et al, 2006;Thompson, 1987). Two studies reported higher scores with CAL than with traditional instruction (Kanai and Shimada, 2005; Phadtare, Bahmani, Shah, and Pietrobon, 2009).…”

“…Time and cost are consistently mentioned as limiting factors to the pursuit of developing CAL programming (Anderson and Conley, 2000;Boucher, Hunter, and Henry, 1999;Hayward, 2003;Kinney, Keskula, and Perry, 1997;Thompson, 1987). It is necessary to anticipate the time required to create CAL and to mange technical difficulties, particularly with new interventions (Carbonaro et al, 2008).…”

Physical therapy educators seek teaching methodologies to efficiently educate students. The purpose of this article was to perform a systematic review of the literature pertaining to the use and effectiveness of computer-assisted learning (CAL) in physical therapy education. Criteria were established for article selection. Articles related to use included those reporting at least a 30% survey response return and a sample of at least 50. Articles regarding effectiveness included only randomized control studies related to use in physical therapy and physical therapy assistant education. Six articles related to the use and 17 articles related to the effectiveness were identified. Early published investigations were focused in the area of anatomy. The survey studies related to use indicated that educators highly valued CAL, but they reported initial use to be low due to cost. Expanding software development has resulted in higher contemporary use. CAL can effectively convey content material compared to traditional methods of instruction. CAL is largely underresearched in the field of physical therapy compared to other health professions. Recommendations for future research include larger studies, broader representation of the practice field, and development of interactive programming.

“…E-learning is one such 'student-centred' method. Through interactive material in digital repository, immediate feedback and problem solving activities it can catalyse active participation [4,5]. Through computer enabled three-dimensional visualization, it can offset the limitations of verbal descriptions in teaching anatomy [6][7][8][9][10].…”

Objectives:The primary objective of this study was to determine if Early Clinical Exposure (ECE) and E-learning can be effective alternative methods of teaching anatomy for the first-year medical students. Secondary objectives were to determine (a) if there was gender bias with these methods and (b) if these methods influenced high, average or low achievers selectively. Materials and Methods:Study was conducted in the department of anatomy with 150 first-year medical students participating in it. Students were randomly divided into three groups of 50 each. Six selected topics were taught to the three groups using ECE, e-learning and traditional lecture alternatively. After each session, a test was conducted using 20 objective questions to assess the learning outcome. Average score of the groups were analysed using Fisher one-way ANOVA or Welch test. Multiple comparisons were done using post-hoc tests when the difference between the average scores was found to be significant. Gender difference in the scores for each method was noted. Learning outcome of high, average and low achievers with ECE and e-learning were compared.Results: Average total scores after ECE were comparable to lecture and superior to e-learning in five of the six sessions. E-learning, however, was not as effective as ECE in improving the test scores. Except for one group, where the boys outperformed the girls after e-learning, girls outperformed the boys in all the groups with all the three methods of instruction. ECE or e-learning did not influence high, average or low achievers selectively. Conclusion:Based on the learning outcome, ECE can be an effective method to teach Anatomy in the described format. E-learning did not improve the test scores in the self-study format used in this study, but, 3D visualization can benefit the students when used as an adjunct to the traditional methods.
