Are you finding it difficult to keep up with new technologies that could be helpful for your roles as a scholarly educator? In this round-robin workshop, you will have the opportunity to learn ‘what’s new’ for the application of technology to a variety of areas relevant to your daily work. This workshop is designed for medical educators at all levels to learn about various technologies to enhance teaching and career advancement.

So, grab your passport, set your goals, and join us on a tour highlighting educational technologies. Led by faculty and graduates of APA’s Educational Scholars Program experienced at applying technology to their academic study, this workshop targets three areas of educational technologies: 1) Content creation (key considerations, learning management systems, and using online content on the fly), 2) Scholarship (tech tools for managing the medical literature, conducting surveys, and collaboration), and 3) Engagement (thinking beyond audience response to augmented reality, virtual reality, intelligent tutoring, and serious educational games).

You will begin by taking a Technology Self-Assessment to reflect on your strengths and interests. Traveling in small groups through the three stations, you will have opportunity to learn about these technologies. You will explore ways to use these technologies in your own work and consider how to make these efforts count towards your career advancement. Workshop leaders will then assist you in setting personal technology goals and building a roadmap to continue your learning, application and scholarship. You will leave with a plan and access to annotated resources for all the technologies presented in the workshop.

Objectives

  1. Assess your personalized use of technology in education, areas of strength and growth opportunities.
  2. Discuss how to incorporate new technologies into your own educational work.
  3. Explore new technologies used by medical educators: 1) instruction, 2) scholarship, 3) collaboration; and 4) digital simulation.
  4. Create a plan to implement your new technology goals in a scholarly fashion.
