I’ve had my share of e-learning, through the LMS as well as pre-recorded lectures that have been uploaded to the school’s learning system. I feel that e-learning allows the students to learn at their own time as well as at their own pace, and at the same time, they would be able to repeat the […]

Sadly I couldn’t attend this week’s tutorials due to a set of nights on call , but here are my musings having watched Tuesday’s discussions. The conversations on experiential vs evidence based learning got me thinking about how we are taught ‘evidence based medicine’ at medical school. For me, it was painstakingly dissecting primary research […]

Week 2 proved to be yet another highly engaging and thought provoking discussion amongst the group. My heart goes out to those in the class who are in different time zones as I don’t know how they could possibly manage to sleep after such dynamic discussion going on into the wee hours of the morning!

Due to a security breached which resulted in patients’ details being leaked, all government and restructured hospitals are disconnected from the internet and only connected via intranet for official purposes only. As a radiographer, the closest example of network technology that we come across would be virtual […]

As I reflect on the past year and how quickly we have all transitioned from meeting for MDT,  journal clubs, conferences, educational meetings and student teaching to almost exclusively online and virtual platforms it has made the think more about online learning. While it works for some things for others I think it still requires […]

I was bit apprehensive before joining the tutorial session, as I am not a tech savvy person. As we moved forward in the discussion, it seemed interesting and I was quite fascinated about that digital conversation. We picked up the issue about the educators dealing with the stress that came along with this digital conversion. […]

Last night’s tutorial was really interesting. Having come into it with a degree of apprehension (I’m definitely one for working to a mark scheme), at the end of it I felt much more comfortable with what is expected. I think the points on artificial intelligence were interesting; in my own field of respiratory medicine we […]
