Undergraduate teaching in geriatric medicine using computer-aided learning improves student performance in examinations

摘要: Background: computer-aided learning (CAL) is increasingly used to deliver teaching, but few studies have evaluated its impact on within geriatric medicine. We developed and implemented CAL packages falls continence, their effect student performance in two medical schools. Methods: traditional ward based didactic teaching was replaced by blended (CAL package combined with methods). Examination scores were compared for cohorts of students receiving those learning. Control questions included provide data cohort differences. Results: both schools, there a trend towards improved following learning, smaller number achieving low (P< 0.01). Feedback from about the positive. Discussion: associated improvement examination performance, regardless setting or methods adopted, without increasing time. Our findings support use medicine, this method has been adopted other topics undergraduate curriculum.
