Virtual microscopy and video podcasting in medical education at the RWTH Aachen : analysis of the acceptance and learning behavior of students

摘要

Web-based learning content plays an increasing part in the curricula of medical faculties. In the institute for pathology at the RWTH Aachen a blended learning platform is continuously complemented since 2006. The virtual microscopy comprises a collection of virtual histology samples and the podcast "PathoCast" explains macroscopical and histological findings in compact videos, which can be watched on portable players like an iPod. Virtual microscopy and the podcast episodes represent learning units to different disease patterns, that are adapted to the courses of the "Modellstudiengang". The learning units are published on a normal web site in curricular order corresponding to the organ systems (www.vm.rwth-aachen.de). This work analyzes the acceptance of the blended learning platform among the students as well as their usage behavior. The subjective impressions of several years of students were assessed with surveys. The traffic on the local server of the learning platform and on the video server was continuously registered and analyzed. The project was positively evaluated each year. Students appreciated the possibility of learning histology outside the university without temporal or spatial restrictions. Annotations on the virtual slides were found to be a highly valuable tool towards comprehension of the findings. The video podcast was appreciated for its compact illustration of relevant topics, its ability to enhance the learning fun and its effectiveness in recapitulation before examinations. The learning platform was used regularly with two different reproducible patterns in the web statistics: a) sharp peaks at the end of the respective organ system courses corresponding to short and intensive learning periods. b) plateau like profile prior to the medical basis examination, which relates to a constant elevated usage and thus learning activity during revision. Hard- and software of the students including portable players have adapted to the ongoing product developments. Blended learning has proved to be highly effective and attractive in teaching pathology and leads not only to the amelioration of the organ system courses but also to the independent revision prior to the medical basis examination.
