OVERVIEW:
The coronavirus pandemic and global lockdown posed a major challenge for traditional teaching methods. In response, e-learning tools and programs have been incorporated into postgraduate medical education.
This Special Interest Group explores e-learning in epilepsy and EEG education. The audience will be informed on the availability and progress of e-learning programs specific to epilepsy and electroencephalography education offered by AES and the ILAE. Presenters will provide the audience with information and tools to adopt and advance e-learning initiatives in their home institutions and foster collaborative endeavors nationally and internationally.
Learning Objectives:
Following participation in this activity, participants will be able to:
- Discuss the learning theories, technological requirements, advantages and disadvantages involved in e-learning compared to more traditional methods
- Identify the recently developed and shared e-learning resources specific to epilepsy and electroencephalography education offered by the AES and the ILAE
- Describe the challenges in epilepsy education posed by the pandemic, its impact on rapid transition to e-learning and the future directions in the field
