BACKGROUND The Collaborative Clinical Simulation (CCS) model is a structured method for the development and assessment of clinical competencies through small groups working collaboratively on simulated environments. From 2016 to date, the CCS model has been applied successfully in undergraduate and graduate medical students from the University of Talca (Chile), the University of Barcelona (Spain), and in the University VIC-Manresa (Spain). All the templates for building the clinical cases and the assessment instruments with CCS were printed on paper. Considering several CCS sessions and the number of participating students that are required throughout the medical degree curriculum, it is impossible to keep an organized record when the instruments are printed on paper. Moreover, with the COVID-19 pandemic, the web-platforms take importance as a safe training environment for students and medical faculties, where the new educational environment should include the consolidation and adaptation of didactic sessions creating and using available virtual cases and using different web-platforms. OBJECTIVE Design and develop a web-platform to strengthen the Collaborative Clinical Simulation model. METHODS The design of the web platform was aimed to support each phase of the CCS by incorporating functional and non-functional requirements needed to run collaborative sessions. The software was developed under the Model-View-Controller architecture to separate the views from the data model and the business logic. RESULTS MOSAICO, a web platform to design, perform, and assess collaborative clinical scenarios for medical students. MOSAICO has four modules: educational design, students’ collaborative design, collaborative simulation, and collaborative debriefing. Three different user profiles: academic simulation unit, teacher, and student. These users interact under different roles in collaborative simulations. MOSAICO enables a collaborative environment (connected by the Internet) to design clinical scenarios guided by the teacher, and use all data generated for discussing in the debriefing session with the teacher as a guide. CONCLUSIONS MOSAICO was implemented and is used frequently in different simulation sessions at the University of Talca, where medical students can work collaboratively connected by the Internet. The web platform supports all the stages of the CCS model, and the teachers use MOSAICO as technological infrastructure to schedule, design, and execute the simulation activities.

ABSTRACT INTRODUCTIONThe ability to reflect – reflection – taking time to stop, think and evaluate is an important professional skill to develop. AIMTo evaluate a compulsory reflective group activity to determine whether compulsory participation enabled students to constructively share emotional clinical experiences and develop ethical and professional behaviour. METHODSThis was a case study with mixed methodology. Participants were Years 5 and 6 medical students at the University of Auckland, New Zealand. Data collection included pre- and post-reflective group questionnaires with Year 5 and 6 students, questionnaires with general practice academic facilitators, and audiotapes of the reflection group discussions. RESULTSStudents shared emotional experiences that were organised into three themes: (i) witnessing unprofessional behaviour; (ii) meeting difficult clinical scenarios for the first time; and (iii) the hierarchy of medicine. They reported positive learning experiences relevant to their future practice and valued the opportunity to share their experiences safely. Facilitators thought the groups provided unique educational opportunities that students appreciated. Eighty-two percent of participants would like to repeat the activity during their medical school training. CONCLUSIONSelf-reflection is an essential condition for professionalism. Use of reflective groups can help students become ethical and professional doctors.

The article examines the theoretical and practical aspects of organizing online teaching of informatics to schoolchildren using interactive posters, developed by a teacher on a web platform. The possibilities of online teaching of schoolchildren using various electronic media as well as resources and services of the Internet are discussed. The multidimensional capabilities of interactive electronic tools for the inclusion of students in various types of educational and cognitive activities during network interaction are analyzed. The concepts of “multidimensional didactic tools” and “interactive posters” are revealed, acting as an innovative teacher’s tools for managing and enhancing the cognitive activity of students. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of the design and creation of interactive posters by the teacher and the educational interaction of students with these posters based on the web platform. The characteristics of the capabilities of popular services for creating interactive posters are described. The experience of using interactive posters in teaching informatics at school based on the web platform is revealed. The authors’ approach to the use of tools of popular services for creating and integrating content and controls into interactive posters is proposed.

Previous literature within the postmodern movement typically finds the Internet to be a tool for surveillance and restriction. This is particularly identified in the personal homepages of academics, where the university is considered to marginalise staff through the coercive governing of their identity construction. Using a Foucauldian framework in which to analyse twenty academic homepages, this study looks specifically at identity construction on the Internet via the differences of link inclusion between academics whose homepages have been university–constructed and those whose homepages have been self–constructed, both dependent and independent of the university site. A Foucauldian discourse analysis identifies the marginalisation of academics in all conditions, wherein discursive positions were typically those of disempowerment. A typology of homepages and hence identities of academics is proposed based on the Web sites examined, concluding that whether the homepage is constructed by the academic or by the university, the identities of the individual are ultimately lost to the governmentality of the university.

AimsClinical Simulation sessions were started in April 2020 to supplement reduced patient contact for medical students at the University of Sheffield due to COVID-19 restrictions. These were run by Foundation Trainees in psychiatry with supervision and oversight from a senior psychiatrist. This study aims to review current literature on remote teaching as a learning resource and will evaluate the effectiveness of clinical simulation as an alternative to patient contact, with the focus being on improving students’ confidence as well as developing clinical interview skills.MethodFeedback surveys were developed, focussing on confidence undertaking difficult aspects of psychiatric interviews, and distributed amongst two cohorts of medical students at the University of Sheffield. One cohort completed their face-to-face psychiatry placement in full pre-COVID, the other undertook placements consisting of virtual simulation sessions alongside reduced patient contact. Responses were collected online over 6 weeks between February and March 2021. As two medical students who completed face-to-face psychiatry placement prior to the pandemic, we have additionally submitted personal reflections as a comparator to current student experiences.ResultA total of 8 students in the clinical simulation cohort, and a total of 13 students from the face-to-face teaching cohort completed the questionnaire. 62.5% of students that responded were female and the remaining percentage identified as male. Students in the face-to-face cohort reported being more confident in 6 out of 7 aspects of our feedback surveys determining confidence undertaking clinical interview skills in comparison to the virtual simulation cohort. Students attended varying numbers of simulation sessions and ultimately the main restrictions and barriers to the simulation teaching reported by students are the time constraints during the sessions, and unstable internet connection.ConclusionOverall confidence levels in medical students are undoubtedly higher in students that completed full face-to-face placements in comparison to those with combined teaching. Based on student responses and review of current literature, clinical simulation appears to serve as a useful adjunct to students with reduced face-to-face contact in psychiatry, particularly for increasing confidence when interviewing more challenging patients. Immediate facilitator feedback and exposure to more difficult patient scenarios seem to be the most beneficial aspects. We would not advocate it as an exclusive form of teaching for medical students, but it may be a useful resource post-pandemic for providing students with extra learning opportunities, specifically targeted at developing confidence and skills in more difficult situations which will hopefully benefit them in their later careers.

Background and Objectives: We wish to develop and evaluate a user-friendly online interactive teaching and examination model as an adjunct to traditional bedside teaching of medical students during a clinical rotation in dermatology. Methods: Following completion of an online examination, senior medical students at the University of British Columbia ( n = 178) were asked to complete an online survey to evaluate their acceptance of this new method. The online examination model was evaluated through students' responses to the questionnaire-based evaluation they were asked to complete following their examination. Responses were evaluated on a standardized 5-point scale. Results: A high response rate was achieved (98.9%). Overall, 93% of senior medical students felt that the Internet was a useful and effective way to administer a dermatology examination. Most (90%) preferred the online examination to a traditional paper-and-pencil examination and the majority (88%) felt that the quality of digital images presented was sufficient to make an accurate diagnosis. In addition, students strongly supported the further development of teaching resources on the web and would use these resources in learning dermatology (93%). Conclusions: The development of an online interactive examination tool for dermatology is technically feasible with current technology. Senior medical students are not only accepting of this new technology but also prefer it to more traditional formats and indicate enthusiasm for the development of further online teaching resources in dermatology.

An overarching goal of the Instructional Technology Programme at the University of Houston has been to help students in our graduate courses learn technology skills by involving them in web-based ‘Digital Humanities Projects’ with local non-profit organizations. In this article, we discuss the benefits and challenges associated with the collaborative design, development and evaluation of real-world projects with community stakeholders serving as clients. Over the past decade, we have developed and used Webscapes, a theoretical model that serves as the framework for the creation of these projects. We define Webscapes as information landscapes, delivered over the web, which include a rich variety of content; challenging, cognitive explorations; intuitive navigation structures; and user-oriented interfaces. We describe the characteristics of the model and include reflections from students and community partners about accomplishments and challenges they faced. We also provide examples and discussion of Webscape projects, several of which have been completed, two that are ongoing and one that is in the early stage of development.

Pressing Technology

Within the university study program that trains of the future engineers in the field of manufacturing engineering, in the Romanian technical universities, there are matters that aim at familiarizing students with the way of solving certain problems of constructive and/or technological design. Such a matter, called cold pressing technology, has been included in the last years of the license studies. In the context of the project activity at this matter, as a theme to be solved, the student usually receives the responsibility of designing a mold for the cold-pressing of pieces of various shapes, for large series production, starting from sheet type workpiece. The passing of successive design stages gradually leads the student to elaborate a project that includes an assembly drawing and some mechanical drawings as final documents related to the received project theme. It was considered that by using some principles of axiomatic design, it is possible to investigate and define more clearly the objectives of the project activity in the field of cold pressing technology. The analysis allowed a clearer definition of functional requirements and the identification of solutions to improve the quality of future engineer training activities concerning to project activity in the field of cold pressing technology.
