About this title

Synopsis

In the previous century numerous technologies and methods have been used to deliver continuing medical education (CME) to health care professionals (HCPs). These methods have included postal correspondence, two-way radio conferencing, video conferencing and in the last decade the Internet. The emergence of the World Wide Web (WWW) in the early 1990s, coupled with increasing computer processing power and reduced computing costs have led to more CME materials and resources coming 'online' to assist health care professionals stay up-to-date without having to leave their office. This book reviews the findings from an Australasian study that assessed the pedagogical and instructional design (e-pedagogy) effectiveness of web-based CME courses offered to health care professionals in Australasia.
