OVERVIEW AND BENEFITS

The AAMC’s Institute for Improving Medical Education charged a panel of experts to consider the current use of certain educational applications at medical schools, and to examine the relevant literature in order to develop recommendations that could be used to help medical schools select, develop, and use appropriate technologies. This report summarizes the findings of the April 2006 Colloquium on Educational Technology held in Washington, D.C. 

The report does not prescribe a single educational technology approach that can be adopted in all learning environments, nor is it a formal analysis of the literature. Instead, it offers principles and recommendations derived from multiple disciplines and perspectives. Notably, this report highlights the essential role of instructional design principles to promote the effective use of educational technology.
