Applications developed using key multimedia elements are finding their way into a number of training and information exchange environments including the laparoscopy training market. Emerging multimedia-based applications range from procedural information for patients to interactive CD-ROM-based applications used to train highly skilled surgeons. These products are designed with a high level of interactivity that allows the surgeon to plan a surgical procedure, review detailed patient information and then merge that information into the surgical planning process. Using this new technology, a surgeon now has the ability to review CD-ROM-based course materials and efficiently meet continuing education requirements. The factor found most limiting in the development of multimedia-based applications for laparoscopy training is generally not the technology, but the limits placed on the technology because of one's reluctance to think beyond what is accepted as the norm. Properly implemented, multimedia applications developed for laparoscopy training reduce the cost and time associated with learning new materials, assist a user in retaining more of the information reviewed, and in many cases make the learning experience much more enjoyable.
A simplified and rapid method for making radiographic slides or prints using a personal computer, a computer monitor adapter and a laser imager is described. When the divided monitor output of a personal computer is connected to a laser imager in the Radiology Department, radiographs and text on the personal computer can be printed out from the laser imager. By selecting slide size print format, 12 slide-sized images can be printed on a film. In addition, by selecting other print formats various sized images can be printed on film, which then can be used as teaching files or as backlight display panels for scientific exhibits. This method can only produce gray-scale printouts, which are sufficient for radiological presentations. Any radiology department can utilize this system by simply installing a computer monitor adapter.
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.
