using digital technologies to prepare healthcare staff

“Innovative educational technologies, such as e-learning, simulation and smart-phones, provide unprecedented opportunities for health and social

care students, trainees and staff to acquire, develop and maintain the essential knowledge, skills, values and behaviours needed for safe and effective patient

care.” (DH TEL Framework)

Using digital technologies to prepare healthcare staff for the future

The spectrum of learningOld style

face-to-faceCollaborative

online learning

• Set timing for course - Interaction between learners

Synchronised online

learning• Set timing for

course - but no real-time interaction

Learner-driven timing

• Structured course, Individual chooses timing and pace

‘Just in time’

• Accessed at ‘point of need’

• These elements can be blended in a training intervention to maximise impact

• This delivers an intervention that ‘meets the learner’ when it suits them and meets workforce pressures and management requirements

Analytics to shape learning

• Capture demographics – monitor reach and impact• Tell us about both learner behaviour and course efficacy• Allows ongoing review and fine-tuning• VfM of approach

Unit 1 Unit 2 Unit 3

Getting digital learning right• Use familiar formats - trainees learn the content, not the system • Get the usability right• Don’t reinvent the wheel • Tap in to networks • Reformatted and repurposed resources• Value of mimicking the clinical environment• Mix of approaches is very important• Need to evaluate delivery as well as course content – don’t use

tech for tech’s sake• Scope what’s already out there!
