Creating an Interactive Web-based e-Learning Course: A Practical Introduction for Radiologists¹

¹ From the Department of Medical Imaging, Montpellier University Hospital, CHU Lapeyronie and Arnaud de Villeneuve, 371 Avenue du Doyen Gaston Giraud, 34295 Montpellier, France. Presented as an education exhibit at the 2005 RSNA Annual Meeting. Received April 7, 2006; accepted August 15. All authors have no financial relationships to disclose. Address correspondence to: D.H.

With the development of e-learning and its ability to provide rich animated content rapidly to a wide audience, new methods for teaching medical imaging have evolved. E-learning tools allow building of learner-focused structured courses. Standards such as shareable content object reference model (SCORM) or Aviation Industry Computer-based Training Committee (AICC) guidelines and recommendations provide the framework required to combine text, images, videos, animations, and quizzes for learning assessment, even if each of these elements is created with different software. The main features to consider when choosing a learning management system are content management, assessment and reporting tools, customization options, course delivery, administration, and security. The tools for building a Web-based course with pages containing text, images, videos, and Flash animations are now accessible to any radiologist. Open-source learning management systems and content authoring software are available at no cost. The authors developed e-MRI.com, a free Web-based e-learning course with interactive animations and simulations, self-tests, and clinical cases to demonstrate the potential of the latest advances in e-learning and pedagogy applied to magnetic resonance imaging physics.
