Collaborative Environment for Remote Clinical Reasoning Learning

摘要

Despite the significant advances achieved these recent last years in terms of technologies widespread use in medical education, clinical reasoning learning (CRL) remains an extremely hard task in which there are still many gray areas that should be enlightened to better understand it. Furthermore, while CRL is basically a collaborative task implying the participation of many students and tutors working simultaneously on a same case, it should be considered from a social perspective. The authors followed then a collaborative-based learning approach, which consists in designing a shared workspace to support collaboration and enable social clinical knowledge acquisition. They started with a deep analysis of the CRL process in order to understand the usual way under which students learn together and then, highlight the vital collaborative learning tasks that need to be supported. The resulting designed model allowed us to shift towards Collaborative CRL (CCRL).
