Traditional Learning to e-learning There are also plans to set up eClassrooms to reduce the requirement of faculty and increase the number of students each professor can take at postgraduate level. Indian Medical Times Sat 23 May 2015

1. Traditional Learning to
e-learning

2. We Still Follow Socratic
Method
 Socratic method , is
named after the classical
Greek philosopher
Socrates. It is a form of
inquiry and discussion
between individuals, based
on asking and answering
questions to stimulate
critical thinking and to
illuminate ideas. It is a
dialectical method,
often involving a discussion
in which the defence of one
point of view is questioned;
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 2

3. Traditional Education
 Traditional education, is also known as
back-to-basics, conventional education
or customary education, refers to long-
established customs found in schools
that society traditionally used. Some
forms of education reform promote the
adoption of progressive education
practices, a more holistic approach
which focuses on individual students'
needs and self-expression
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 3

4. Are we Moving from to e-
Education
 E-learning is the
use of electronic
technology in
teaching and
learning, and
accordingly is a
subset of
educational
technology.Dr.T.V.Rao MD 4

5. Why e-Learning
 Our students
have changed
radically. They
are no longer the
people our
educational
system was
designed to
teach.
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 5

6. E-learning Includes
 E-learning includes information and communication
technology (ICT) in education, EdTech, learning
technology, multimedia learning, technology-enhanced
learning (TEL), computer-based instruction (CBI),
computer managed instruction, computer-based training
(CBT), computer-assisted instruction or computer-aided
instruction (CAI), internet-based training (IBT), flexible
learning, web-based training (WBT), online education,
online learning, virtual education, virtual learning
environments (VLE; which are also called learning
platforms), m-learning, and digital education. All of these
terms appear in articles and reviews; the term "e-learning"
is used frequently, but is variously and imprecisely
defined and appliedDr.T.V.Rao MD 6

7. The Basis of E-learning remain with
Creating Interactive Class Rooms
 An interactive classroom is
a place where learners are
encouraged to
communicate with peers
and teachers in a
meaningful way.
 Creates useful learning
opportunities in which the
teacher presents the
material in a way that is
interactive and therefore
meaningful to the learner.
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 7

8. What is E-Classroom
 E-classrooms provide a unique opportunity to
use technology to implement prompt feedback
and thereby augment the current classroom
experience. Coordinating various instructional
streams with student assessment and
feedback will provide the means for instructors
to know when and if their intended message
was communicated to their students,
permitting instructors and students to react
quickly when there is a gap between intent
and understanding.Dr.T.V.Rao MD 8

9.  Medical informatics is
the rapidly developing
scientific field that deals
with resources, devices
and formalized methods
for optimizing the
storage, retrieval and
management of
biomedical information
for problem solving and
decision making.

Health (Medical) Informatics a
Rapidly developing science
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 9

10.  include not only
computers but also
clinical guidelines,
formal medical
terminologies, and
information and
communication
systems. It is applied
to the areas of
nursing, clinical care,
dentistry, pharmacy,
public health and
(bio)medical research.
Health Informatics
Tools
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 10

11. What is E-Classroom
 Further, developing a flexible
instructional infrastructure will create a
bridge between course objectives and
course assessment, classroom
instruction and student feedback, and
seat-time and study-time. By developing
this framework within an e-classroom,
information can be gathered to measure
student, instructor and organizational
achievement and to assist in
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 11

12. Computer-aided
instruction
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 12
 These include computer-aided instruction,
learning about computers and their
applications, use of computer-based
information resources, use of computers as a
tool and as a mechanism for information
management, decision support and
communication.) While medical informatics
includes computer applications, it is not
limited only to the use of computers, but
includes the knowledge, skills and attitudes
involved in seeking, manipulating and using
biomedical information.

13. Why Interactive
Classroom
 Cognitive psychologists:
 learning is more productive when the acquired knowledge
occurs in an interactive environment.
 Experimentally, it was found that students attending
interactive lectures learn more than students attending a
traditional one.
 This is because students in an interactive environment
do not spend the time in writing and copying the material
from the board as the case in traditional classrooms;
instead, they spend the time in thinking, understanding
and asking questions .
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 13

14. Why Interactive
Classroom
 Efficient learning techniques became mandatory to
keep up with the demand of productive learning:
 Significant improvements in computational power,
 networking bandwidth,
 storage capacity and graphical user interfaces
 New teaching methods, such as long-distance and virtual
learning, where students are separated in space and/or
time, become increasingly common in many universities
and educational institutes
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 14

15. Interactive Classroom
 Electronic classroom or simply “E-classroom” is
equipped with technologies that
 capture classroom activities,
 allow for audio and video recordings of lectures,
 slides presentation,
 capture the notes written by the lecturer, and
 make class material available all the time.
 can be accessed and reviewed by students for missing
parts, studying difficult concepts or to prepare for exams.
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 15

16. Components of E-
learning Class Room
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 16

17. Features of Interactive
Classroom
 For students, the new system encourages them to participate
and complete the coursework with more variety in learning
experiences, such as:
 answering questions directly,
 taking quizzes,
 downloading audio and video files,
 reviewing past lectures,
 uploading due assignments and many other interesting
tasks.
 Our system comes at low cost
 It has the advantages of being flexible, easy to use, and
has the ability to run at any place within the campus where
a networking connection is available.
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 17

18. How to Crete e-
classrooms
 Multimedia system
with portable
classroom sensors is
presented in this paper
with three main
components:
automatic multimedia
data collection and
synchronization,
intelligent multimedia
integration, and user-
selectable e-
presentation interface
design.
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 18

19.  Faculty must identify
the prerequisite
information and skills
that students need to
enable them to access
electronic information
sources, as well as the
course content the
student needs to
"know" and the
information the
student needs to
"know how to access"
electronically.
Faculty should be provide
electronic information
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 19

20. We still continue to do with
traditional didactic methods
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 20
 Till recently, teachers and their pupils have been
content with, and able to rely on, the traditional
resources that have always been available in
medical education.
 This involves teaching and learning centred on
the patient, and backed up by lectures and
tutorials. Other information can be obtained from
and journals. For a number of reasons these
resources are no longer sufficient

21. What is future of
e-learning
 Today, a revolution is under
way in classrooms and dorm
rooms here. Students are
sitting at their computers and
learning medicine by
watching videotaped
lectures that contain
graphics, full-length
animation and virtual
laboratories. Hand in hand
with these presentations,
they are manipulating
electronic notebooks to clip
and paste portions of the
visual or audio text they
consider most relevant.

Dr.T.V.Rao MD 22

23.  Students' attitudes
toward their education
may also have to
change. Students need
to learn that they must
be information seekers
as well as information
managers. They also
need to acquire
knowledge about
relevant sources of
information, and the
skills to access
electronic information.
Students should develop interest in
electronic information
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 23

24. Our Medical Teachers to
Adopt faster
 Our teachers have to
adapt to newer methods
of training and teaching
the students or else it is
difficult to cope up with
the speed of changes
taking place in every
branch of Medicine.
Medical informatics
certainly helps to fill the
gaps in teaching
methods Training our
Medicos in ICT will
change the perceptions
of Health care and
Delivery system.
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 24

25.  By making our primary
goal the preparation of
students to be medical
information managers, we
have a strong rationale for
the inclusion of medical
informatics applications
into the curriculum. This
goal also provides a
criterion by which the
appropriateness of
curricular offerings can be
judged and the outcomes
of instruction can be
Orientation by teachers is
the primary goal
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 25

26.  Continued efforts must be
made to teach them the
skills necessary so that
they can benefit from
available and evolving
technology. In addition, we
recommend that students
be introduced to
computer-based testing
early in their medical
school careers to improve
their comfort levels with
this medium
Continued efforts by Faculty
will create interest
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 26

27.  The computer is here to
stay in one form or
another. It is unlikely that
any amount to scientific
data on its reliability or
validity will influence use
of the medium. However,
used appropriately
computers can be of
considerable educational
benefit and will serve
medical students and
practitioners throughout
their careers
Computer are staying with
us..

29. Barriers to Implementation of
Technology
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 29

30.  Indian Journal of
Medical Informatics
(IJMI) is an Open
Access, peer-
reviewed, online
journal adopting a
broad definition of
"medical informatics"
and focusing on the
applied aspects of
computers to
healthcare delivery.
Indian Journal of Medical
Informatics (IJMI)
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 30

31.  Information
technology must
not be viewed as
a potential cure to
the current
ailments of
medical
education. It may
be part of the
solution and
should be treated
as such
Information technology is not a remedy
for all ills in Medical Education ?
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 31

32. What Medical Council of
India Proposes
 There are also plans
to set up
eClassrooms to
reduce the
requirement of faculty
and increase the
number of students
each professor can
take at postgraduate
level.
