GIR Small Group Discussion
Identifying Next Generation Learning Management System Requirements Through a Dialogue Process

Overview:
This session will engage the GIR and GEA communities in a dialogue among curriculum innovators and technology facilitators with the goal of identifying how their learning management systems need to change to support learner centered curriculum reform. Can existing systems survive the demands of faculty and students for social networking, competency tracking, life-long learning and more? All attendees will participate in the discussion and will take away tools for having a conversation about LMS requirements at their own institutions.

Questions for Discussion:

  • What are participants' experiences with course and learning management systems (either home-grown or off-the-shelf)?
  • What are the features required to support curricular innovations?
  • What can we learn from those medical schools already headed down the path to next generation systems?
  • What are the opportunities to collaborate on requirements definitions and implementation approaches?

GEA/GIR/GIP Small Group Discussion
Learning Spaces for Health Care Education: Best Practices in Design

Overview
Medical schools have seen an increase in the design and development of learning spaces during the past 5 years. Part of this increase in development is due to creation of simulation and clinical skills training facilities. In California, a state proposition is funding the development of high tech educational facilities to teach telemedicine skills at the UC medical schools, and many of these centers include new technology enhanced classrooms, simulation and clinical skills centers and high definition videoconferencing and video capture tools. Successful facilities require collaboration between educators, educational technology and IT professionals to meet the demands of innovative curricula and tech savvy learners.

The moderator will set the stage for discussion by presenting a brief overview of why learning spaces are a hot topic for educators; examples of interesting projects in learning spaces; and why learning spaces are important to the medical education community. Panel members will highlight the three primary perspectives required to develop successful learning spaces in medical education, these include an educator, educational technologist and a CIO. Participants will work as a group to create a large wall sized map detailing the current landscape of learning spaces in medical education. The map will document customer needs, current trends, political and financial factors, as well uncertainties. The map will be used to identify topics for further discussion and documentation by AAMC constituents.
