Suggestions for Improving the Assessment of a Learning Management System Used for Clinical Curriculum Development [Letter]

Abstract

Danielle Oliveira, Emily Tulloch, Naining Xu Department of Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Imperial College London, London, UKCorrespondence: Naining Xu Email [email protected] et al explore the use of Educational Design Research to develop a Learning Management System (LMS), an online platform for self-regulated learning activities and clinical curriculum mapping.1 As fifth year medical students in the UK, we see the importance of online platforms to provide a structured and comprehensive learning experience. The work of Pinilla et al is of particular relevance in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, where ward-based clinical learning has been limited, resulting in a greater reliance on online teaching modalities. Furthermore, centralised learning resources can also bridge the discrepancies in teaching quality, which students may experience in different clinical settings.
