Teaching Chest Tube Insertion by Blended Learning: A Multi-Dimensional Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Emerging technologies are being incorporated in surgical education. The use of such technology should be supported by evidence that the technology neither distracts nor overloads the learner and is easy to use. To teach chest tube insertion, we developed an e-learning module, as part of a blended learning program delivered prior to in-person hands-on simulation. This pilot study was aimed to assess learning effectiveness of this blended learning, and cognitive load and the usability of e-learning.

Methods

The interactive e-learning module with multimedia content was created following learning design principles. In advance of the standard simulation, 13 first-year surgical residents were randomized into two groups: 7 received the e-learning module and online readin
