Evidence-Based Practice Tutorial: An Interactive Case Scenario
Nov 2 2009, 5:04 PM EST
The development of an innovative and interactive web-based storyboard tutorial that introduces learners to the basic concepts of evidence-based practice (EBP) [http://www.lib.uci.edu/how/tutorials/EvidenceBasedPractice/] was the result of a collaboration between the Libraries' Health Sciences Education Team, the Department of Education and Outreach, and UCI's Distance Learning Center. The goal is to make it available on the Internet for learners to review at their own convenience. The tutorial is structured around an illustrative pediatric case scenario on Otitis Media and utilizes graphics, self assessment and voice-over narration. The case actively guides learners through the step-by-step EBP process: constructing a well-built answerable clinical question in therapy, researching articles using PubMed Clinical Queries, finding the evidence from a selected Randomized Controlled Trial, and a brief appraisal of the collected evidence. Since limited classroom time is allowed for EBP instruction in the undergraduate medical education curriculum, this tutorial provides additional instruction outside the classroom.

Great tutorial and nicely done! I'm wondering why there wasn't audio for each slide.

"Great tutorial and nicely done! I'm wondering why there wasn't audio for each slide. "Linda and I made this suggestion from the beginning, but were dissuaded by the group who did the programming, etc. for the tutorial. We were told that it was not "good practice." By the time the tutorial was far enough along that we we able to see the results, it became very clear that this was a bad decision. Unfortunately, at this point the cost of implementing the changes would have been prohibitive. My advice? Librarians ARE educators and we know what works. Go with your gut.

This was a collaborative effort between the UC Irvine Libraries’ Medical Education Team, the Libraries’ Education and Outreach department, and the campus Distance Learning Center (DLC). The Medical Education Team provided the content and the Libraries’ Education and Outreach department paid the Distance Learning Center to develop the tutorial. The narration was done by professionals. The Med Educ Team prefers narration for each slide, but was told it would be too costly. Though, if funding is available in the near future, we may redo part of the tutorial to include narration for each slide.

Thanks for the explanation. I think I understand. I sent the link to the LISTEN team members [www.listenuphealth.org] as we are also working on tutorials, the project director questioned why slide 20 referenced Wikipedia as source of knowledge. I didn't pay attention to the "did you know" button.
