Synopsis

The demand for online health professional educational programs has grown rapidly in recent years, driven by technological advances and an increasing learner appetite for flexible, accessible educational experiences. As the uptake of online techniques has increased, so has the research into their pedagogical underpinnings. However, the speed of these developments means many health professional educators remain unfamiliar with the evidence base and practicalities of actually designing and delivering these learning experiences.
This book summarizes best practices in online education in a succinct, curated, and practical manner. It is designed with the busy health professional educator in mind and is written by fellow health professional educators who understand the everyday challenges of the role. It highlights core principles, gives step-by-step guidance on how to implement these for clinical learners and includes copious ‘tips and tricks’ to facilitate success.
Covering everything from basic online implementations through to the advanced integration of Artificial Intelligence into learning programs, this book will serve as a valuable resource for any educator wanting to familiarise themselves with this important new discipline.
