Distance Learning Is Unstoppable
Posted by in Distance Learning on November 16, 2011
In today’s global marketplace, distance learning is unstoppable.
There are just too many great reasons to turn to virtual training. And an equal number of reasons to reduce on-site training – or create blended solutions.
Just to name a few, virtual training cuts travel costs; facility costs, and eliminates time out of the office. It provides a fix-cost solution, reducing variables in training budgets.
But, try as we might to warm up to this unstoppable trend, there are still a few obstacles in the way.
In informal interviews with dozens of training directors, the most common resistances to distance learning include:
“I can’t be myself online.”
“I need the face-to-face connection.”
“I can’t inject energy into the training if I’m not in the room.”
“I miss the candid conversation that happens in-person.”
In short, humans like to see each other, connect and interact.
Solve these problems, and you’ll find it’s a lot easier to embrace virtual learning, virtual collaboration and the benefits of distance learning. At the root of these problems is one core issue: attitude.
Use these three tips to challenge a reluctant attitude towards virtual collaboration and distance learning.
Tip 1. Identify Tangible Benefits
Look at the facts, figures and dollars side of the equation. How much time could you save? How much money could you save? How much more effective could your team, department, region or organization be with distance training?
Tip 2. Explore Your Emotional Triggers
What are you feeling about distance learning?
Do you secretly wish it would go away…so you wouldn’t have to learn yet another new technology?
Do you feel as if ‘corporate’ or ‘senior executives’ are calling the shots – and if you were in charge, you’d do it differently?
Do you dream of a return to the time when training centers and large training events were ‘how things got done?’ Read the rest of this entry »
The Role Of Cooperative Learning In USMLE Reviews
Posted by in Cooperative Learning on November 16, 2011
Cooperative learning encompasses a wide variety of strategies to promote academic learning through peer cooperation and communication. It implies that medical students help each other, share ideas and resources, and plan cooperatively on what and how to study. There are varied reasons why cooperative learning technique will prove to be useful in helping medical students prepare for the USMLE, many of which are highly useful in the medical profession namely:
Cooperative learning is best for activities that demand cooperative thoughts. Included in this are solutions where long-term retention is desired, USMLE review lessons that require decision-making, tasks where solutions are not readily apparent, and review lessons that need higher-level reasoning strategies and critical thinking. All of these are required to answer USMLE questions.
Cooperative learning can also be used in open-ended problem solving activities that call for clarification and a range of strategies for finding the solution. Included in this are tasks that require generating assumptions, and estimating and research. All these are best for practice decision-making in prescribing treatment regimens for medical or clinical diagnosis. It can also be used for activities where there are limited resources and lessons that provide opportunities for medical students to apply and extend skills and concepts.
This technique sees the development of individual in reference to his group’s completion of a task, and provides collective group performance which is the essence of working with various allied health professions in the actual practice of medicine. Seeing both of these, the group of medical students is rewarded according to how much all the group members learned.
It can also create a positive impact on the individual’s self-esteem, helping behavior, interest, personal liking, mutual concern among colleagues, cooperation, and attitude toward learning. Medical students learn to negotiate and to be more tolerant of others – a virtue that is highly desirable for the medical profession.

It provides a forum in which medical students ask questions, discuss ideas, make mistakes, learn to listen to others’ ideas and offer constructive criticism. Read the rest of this entry »
