Blended learning in clinical education (AMEE presentation)

Michael Rowe — Tue, 30 Aug 2011 06:40:21 +0000

This is the presentation that I gave at the AMEE conference earlier today. It’s the results of a systematic literature review I did as part of my PhD, where I looked at the use of blended learning in clinical education. The abstract doesn’t give much information owing to the fact that I had to be very brief with my submission. The presentation is (a little) more detailed.

Here’s the abstract:

Here’s the presentation (better to view at Prezi.com, space is limited here):

Social networks and clinical education: presentation at SAAHE

Michael Rowe — Fri, 01 Jul 2011 10:30:22 +0000

My presentation at the SAAHE conference is a more in-depth look at the same project that I presented at the conference in 2010. The key points I wanted to make were that:

Students struggle to develop practice knowledge because it is hidden from them i.e. they can’t “see” our thinking process as we reason our way through clinical issues
One way to externalise practice knowledge is by sharing experiences and outcomes as colleagues or peers
Social networks facilitate that sharing
Reflection needs to be facilitated and structured, otherwise students feel lost
Pedagogically sound teaching principles must be integrated no matter what tools you’re using

Here is the presentation that I gave earlier today:

Great Prezi on writing for publication

Michael Rowe — Fri, 03 Jun 2011 09:02:34 +0000

I’ve been doing a lot of writing this year, trying to catch for lost time at the end of last year, with the result that I’ve been thinking about writing a lot. At times, it had become more like getting through a list of tasks than the expression of meaningful ideas, which is why I really enjoyed this presentation by @thesiswhisperer. This was a useful reminder that there are many different approaches to writing for publication, and it gave me a few ideas on how I could step out of my usual routine.

The use of innovative technology in clinical education

Michael Rowe — Tue, 24 May 2011 08:03:41 +0000

A few days ago I gave a presentation to our faculty on the use of innovative technologies in teaching practice with specific reference to clinical education. I’ve been using Prezi a bit because I wanted to explore alternative ways of doing presentations. Here it is:
