Sub-Internship Design Challenge

Published on Jun 30, 2016

The Design Challenge is a new way to think about what learning & medical education means in the 21st century. We call it a design challenge because we hope to challenge you to re-imagine the skills you will take with you into your careers. It starts with a commitment to lifelong learning and the core belief that, when it comes to the art of learning, we are stronger together. Have fun and we look forward to seeing what you create!

Essential Skills

Your post will be evaluated on how well you incorporate these
We have identified 5 essential skills every member of the FOAM community and life long physician learner should be comfortable with in the 21st century.

Here they are >>>>>>>>>>>>

Relevant

Skill #1 - Make your content
Lectures on powerpoint slides that fulfill your requirement but then drop into the trash folder or stay buried on your hard-drive are no good to anyone.

As part of the design challenge whatever educational content you create must be accessible via a url link.

Right Tool

Skill #3 - Choose the
Not all tools are right for all educational contexts. Is it a procedure your teaching? Maybe a short video is your best option. Want to talk about the essential steps for managing an acute aortic dissection? Maybe a short podcast is the way to go.

Your challenge is to choose a tool that fits your needs and more importantly THE NEEDS OF THE LEARNER. Your work should help the learner in some way (quick review, cognitive aid, etc)

Define your teaching goal, understand your audience, and then pick the right tool. Be creative in your choice and pick something that is free and open access.

Micro-Learning

Skill #4 - Master the Art of
Good things come in small packages when it come to effective adult learning. High-impact teaching comes from understanding the value of context. Think short video to review before doing an LP or using a defibrillator, a podcast on the management of PE for the subway ride home after a shift, or an infographic as a cognitive aid when caring for that next sepsis patient.

Your challenge is to take your topic and think about enhancing the impact of your work by honing it down to the essentials for fast, efficient, and engaging learning.

Deeper Cuts

Skill #5 - Curating & Bundling of
References are always important. We learn from others and they deserve credit. But references in the 21st century aren't only static lines at the bottom of a page.

Creative use of hyperlinks and reference material embedded in your content can start others on an educational journey similar to the one you took, and let those interested in deeper learning dive deeper into the material.

When appropriate, as part of your design challenge give credit where due and use these references creatively to create content that curates as well as educates.

Design Inspiration for You

Seem Overwhelming? Here is some
Need some design inspiration? This slide background was created for an education series called "postcards from the ED" and was created using a simple template from the Apple photos app. It was then linked to a discussion on c-spine clearance in the ED.
