The purpose of this study is to compare the educational efficacy of instructional design enhancements in on-line learning modules in the context of clinical medical education.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study involved medical students from seven US medical schools participating in a trial of two WISE-MD computer-based learning modules. Students were randomized to 1 of 4 study arms. The 4 content-equivalent conditions were: screen shots with voiceover and no interactivity; learner control of pacing through multi-media content; social networking features; and social networking features plus user interface enhancements.
