Abstract

The personal computer allows the user to create professional presentations as good as any created by commercially available services. With the new generation of inexpensive software, myriad fonts, layouts, graphics, and imported images can all be used by the novice. The technology is currently available that can project images directly from the computer, obviating the need for slides. This presentation will discuss the relative merits and costs of such systems and the problems that remain concerning implementation at a national level.

Mixed mode education learning and the use of textual resources.

Economic and market forces, as well as beliefs about sound educational practice, are prompting faculty to adopt mixed mode education, drawing upon both established and in-house material production. There is much to be gained, both from the student, purchaser and provider (institution and tutor) point of view, but implementation of such programmes requires careful planning. This paper stems from the 1994 Nurse Education Tomorrow Conference (Durham) and discusses pragmatic considerations when textual resources are used to fuel education innovation. It argues that the use of 'study guides' may free precious tutor resources for higher taxonomy roles, and afford opportunities to review the ways in which the management of effective learning can assist in the development of quality assurance criteria.

Preserving the best of the art of teaching.

Teachers often develop unique methods to help students learn, but these techniques may be lost when they retire from the profession. In the 15 years that they have conducted the Effective Teaching Workshop: Improving Your Skills, the authors of this paper have observed presentations of many innovative teaching methods. The article describes five methods recently presented at the annual workshop: the use of a flipchart with slides; the use of Polarmotion overhead transparencies; an asthma simulation; a breast-mass simulation; and teamwork and game-playing. The authors present these techniques in the hope of reaching a broader audience, and to stimulate other teachers to submit descriptions of innovative teaching methods for possible publication in the Ideas for Medical Education column.
