eLearning Symposium
Medical School and Joseph Black Lecture Theatre
University of Glasgow, UK
4-5 September 2010
The changing scene in eLearning
eLearning is playing an increasingly important role and is now part of mainstream developments in medical education. There remain major tensions, however, in what we as educators provide for students and how students use technology. Both teachers and students need new competencies if they are to maximise the use of technology for teaching and learning. The emergent use of social networks and mobile and other technologies, for example, is challenging our concepts as to how students learn and our role as teachers.
This symposium devoted to eLearning is organised as part of AMEE 2010 to be held in Glasgow 4th to 8th September 2010. It follows a successful eLearning conference held in conjunction with the AMEE 2006 conference in Sestri Levante, Italy. The eLearning Symposium is a stand-alone event, and it is possible to register for this without attending the main AMEE Conference.
The symposium provides the opportunity for all concerned with education in the healthcare professions to gain a valuable insight into the current position in this complex field and to see examples of ‘best-of-breed’ practice. Participants from different countries and backgrounds can share their experience and contribute to the debate.
