Abstract
Demand for online educational tools has risen steadily as technological innovations have evolved over the past several decades. Websites were the first platform to be introduced, and eventually used for online schooling, soon after the advent of the World Wide Web. Access to information and updated content in a short period of time on a wide-screen device such as a computer made websites popular early in their development. With the technological revolution of smart phones, mobile applications have been developed on various operating systems and, through this progress, a new form of educational platform was initiated. The portable features of mobile applications represent a pioneer era of educational tools for medical professionals. Online communications have transformed into social media over the last decade and have since been adopted by much of the world. All three of these educational platforms have created a significant impact on medical education communities, specifically in radiology. We describe the relative strengths of each platform and illustrate how our experience over more than two decades guides our recommendations.
