Digital Skills’ Impact on the Use of Digital Learning Tools

Innovations and developments in the ICT sector drive significant changes in how higher education institutions (HEIs) execute their teaching and learning processes. HEIs have always succeeded in the implementation of ICT tools for the facilitation of the process of teaching and learning. However, they have faced many challenges related to using these tools. Various tools have been introduced, not only for teaching and learning but also for socialisation. These tools include social media tools that are used to achieve different activities in response to the demands of society. Social media, however, is more utilised than digital learning tools, causing major concerns because users appear more interested in social media tools to perform academic activities than in digital learning tools. Students entering the university spaces are often comfortable using their phones but less comfortable using laptops or PCs. These, however, are the primary devices used in digital classrooms at institutions of higher learning. The basic ability to use them is crucial in succeeding in today’s digitised e-learning classrooms. This study investigates the impact digital literacy could have on using digital learning tools in HEIs. The study employed quantitative research methods using a survey developed and distributed to university alums to assess their digital skills upon entering their studies and how this impacted their learning experience. The participants were recruited from two public universities and one private university in the Eastern Cape. The purpose of the study was to formulate a checklist, based on the analysis of the data collected, that will inform the digital literacy factors impacting the use of digital learning in HEIs. While the study acknowledges that different students have different learning needs, it was still possible to create a solution through the suggested checklist consisting of eight (8) interventions developed to guide universities in improving the use of digital learning tools in their institutions.

Healthcare capacity strengthening in conflict settings through virtual emergency medical training and outreach: Ukraine and Sudan case studies.

The use of digital learning in healthcare is expanding in a range of contexts including for settings of armed conflict. Humanitarian emergencies and war often lead to a surge of traumatic injuries, emotional distress, and disruption to health systems risking neglect and exacerbations of chronic illness, and acute infectious disease outbreaks, often requiring an international response. On the ground humanitarian response is often essential though logistical and security challenges can delay these responses, and the reliance on an international workforce unfamiliar with local cultures can create challenges in response efforts. In crises where local healthcare workers have limited training, or experience in emergency care, digital health care education can augment in-person response and training efforts. In recent years digital emergency care education programs have been deployed to both Ukraine and Sudan. A review of each of these programs demonstrates successes in and potential utility of remote healthcare capacity strengthening through digital education in settings of war. These programs provide important lessons in strengths of and challenges in developing and delivering just in time learning programs to settings of active armed conflict suggesting similar potential utility in a variety of humanitarian emergency contexts.

Multimodal learning for emergency department triage implementation: experiences from Papua New Guinea during the COVID-19 pandemic

Triage implementation in resource-limited emergency departments (EDs) has traditionally relied on intensive in-person training. This study sought to evaluate the impact of a novel digital-based learning strategy focused on the Interagency Integrated Triage Tool, a three-tier triage instrument recommended by the World Health Organization. A mixed methods study utilising pre-post intervention methods was conducted in two EDs in Papua New Guinea. The primary outcome was the mean change in knowledge before and after completion of a voluntary, multimodal training program, primarily delivered through a digital learning platform accessible via smartphone. Secondary outcomes included the change in confidence to perform selected clinical tasks, and acceptability of the learning methods. Among 136 eligible ED staff, 91 (66.9%) completed the digital learning program. The mean knowledge score on the post-training exam was 87.5% (SD 10.4), a mean increase of 12.9% (95% CI 10.7-15.1%, p<0.0001) from the pre-training exam. There were statistically significant improvements in confidence for 13 of 15 clinical tasks, including undertaking a triage assessment and identifying an unwell patient.In an evaluation survey, 100% of 30respondents agreed or strongly agreed the online learning platform was easy to access, use and navigate, and that the digital teaching methods were appropriate for their learning needs. In qualitative feedback, respondents reported that limited internet access and a lack of dedicated training time were barriers to participation. The use of digital learning to support triage implementation in resource-limited EDs is feasible and effective when accompanied by in-person mentoring. Adequate internet access is an essential pre-requisite. Development of the Kumul Helt Skul learning platform was undertaken as part of the Clinical Support Program (Phase II), facilitated by Johnstaff International Development on behalf of the Australian Government Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade through the PNG-Australia Partnership. RM is supported by a National Health and Medical Research Council Postgraduate Scholarship and a Monash Graduate Excellence Scholarship, while PC is supported by a Medical Research Future Fund Practitioner Fellowship.

Kidney Pathology Education for Nephrology Fellows: Past, Present, and Future.

Kidney pathology education is a critical component in training of nephrology fellows, as well as for continuing medical education for practicing nephrologists. Kidney pathology images are included on nephrology fellow board exams, and clinicopathologic correlation of kidney biopsy findings is critical in everyday clinical practice. Nephropathology training is a requirement by the American College of Graduate Medical Education within nephrology fellowship curricula. However, greater than one-third of fellowship program directors believe that nephropathology training for their fellows is not sufficient. During the Coronavirus Disease-19 pandemic, the use of digital learning has become commonplace with virtual conferences (local, national, and international) and online meetings becoming the norm for education. Nephrology has become a leader in free open-access online medical education, both prior to and, to even a greater extent, during the pandemic. Here, we review available resources to nephrology fellows and other learners to supplement nephropathology training, which includes medical blogs, journal clubs, interactive quizzes and games, online conferences, podcasts, and mentorship opportunities. These resources are archived and provide durable content to learners of all stages of training, even beyond the pandemic.
