ABSTRACT: Internet-based learning and applications for critical care medicine. [J Intensive Care Med. 2012 Sep-Oct] – PubMed – NCBI

RESULTS: The growth of the Internet is marked by the development of new technologies, including more user-derived tools. Nonmedical fields have embraced Internet-based learning as a valuable teaching tool. A recent meta-analysis described Internet-based learning in the medical field as being more effective than no intervention and likely as efficacious as

ABSTRACT: A randomized controlled trial of two different types of web-based instructional methods [Med Teach. 2012] – PubMed – NCBI

ABSTRACT: Divergence in student and educator conceptual structures during auscultation training [Med Educ. 2013] – PubMed – NCBI

Abstract Context  Simulation-based medical education allows trainees to engage in self-regulated learning (SRL), yet research aimed at elucidating the mechanisms of SRL in this context is relatively absent. We compared 'unguided' SRL with 'directed' SRL (DSRL), wherein learners followed an expert-designed booklet. Methods  Year 1 medical students (n = 37) were randomly assigned to
