Abstract

Technology-enhanced learning (TEL) is a spec- trum of educational modalities within which a real-life task, event, or experience is recreated with the aim of providing a safe learning environ- ment, for the acquisition of skills, knowledge, and behaviours. Innovative features of TEL include an emphasis on patient safety and collaborative, inter-professional team working, with a focus upon evidence-based, cost-effective equality of provision to achieve clear learning objectives. Anaesthetic teaching includes 'hands on' teaching in addition to the other traditional modal- ities of lectures, workshops, scenario training and role-playing. There is considerable evidence that feedback is a key part of the learning experience, in particular with respect to behavioural/human factor training. 1 Human factors undoubtedly play an important contributory role in the majority of anaesthesia-related critical incidents and deaths. One of the significant strengths of TEL is that it allows us to evolve further upon the traditional teaching modalities, particularly with respect to feedback and reflective learning.
