Tecnologías educativas desarrolladas para la enseñanza de la Genética en la Educación Médica Superior / Educational technologies for the teaching of Genetics in Higher Medical Education

Introducción: La inserción de las Tecnologías de la Información y las Comunicaciones en el proceso docente-educativo ha generado una reorganización y reconstrucción de los modelos pedagógicos en todos los niveles de enseñanza, particularmente en la Educación Superior, porque ha permitido practicar habilidades y potenciar roles más activos en relación con la investigación. Objetivo: Identificar las tecnologías educativas creadas como apoyo a la enseñanza de la Genética en la Universidad Médica Superior. Métodos: Se realizó una minuciosa revisión bibliográfica en Internet. La información obtenida responde a los últimos 5 años de publicación y fue tomada principalmente de revistas educativas internacionales vinculadas a universidades pedagógicas o centros de enseñanza, donde se muestran los principales softwares educativos y aplicaciones multimedia utilizadas actualmente para el desarrollo del proceso enseñanza-aprendizaje en la asignatura de Genética. Resultados: La utilización de las TIC y de las ciencias informáticas en función de la educación han puesto a nuestra disposición novedosas herramientas que permiten optimizar el proceso docente, lo cual ha favorecido la concepción y desarrollo de nuevos métodos de enseñanza, vinculados con la personalización del conocimiento, la universalización de la información, el desarrollo de la autoeducación y el aprendizaje colaborativo…(AU)

Multimedia Aided Consent for Alzheimer's Disease Research.

OBJECTIVES: Optimizing the research consent process simultaneously fosters respect for autonomy and protection of those with diminished capacity for autonomy. This study evaluated the effectiveness of an enhanced research consent procedure, employing multimedia disclosure and corrective feedback, in improving decisional capacity among 114 people with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease (AD) and 134 non-psychiatric comparison (NC) subjects. METHODS: Participants were randomized to consent type (routine versus enhanced) and protocol type (lower versus higher risk). Outcomes included a 5-item questionnaire assessing immediate comprehension, MacArthur Competence Assessment Tool for Clinical Research assessing four components of decision-making capacity, and categorical decisional capacity (based on a cut-score established in reference to expert judgments for a subset of participants). RESULTS: There was no significant effect of the enhanced consent procedure, relative to routine consent, on immediate comprehension or decisional capacity. CONCLUSIONS: Multimedia tools do not appear to be the solution to better consent for AD research. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Given the ethical primacy of informed consent and issues of justice for impaired populations who might be harmed by an absence of research-based treatment advances, continued search for ways to more meaningfully engage people with AD in the consent or assent process is warranted.

Comunicación científica (XXVIII). Nuevas formas de difusión de contenidos: streaming, webcasting y podcasting / Scientific communication (XXVIII). New ways of distributing content: streaming, webcasting and podcasting

La distribución y difusión de contenidos multimedia a través de internet se ha convertido en una herramienta de comunicación relativamente barata y sencilla en su manejo, por lo que la usan educadores, profesionales, científicos, investigadores, jóvenes y público en general. En este trabajo se analiza la tecnología streaming, el webcasting y el podcasting y sus cada vez mayores aplicaciones en el campo de la pediatría. El streaming consiste en un servicio de transferencia de datos que permite la distribución de contenidos multimedia de manera continua a través de internet y en tiempo real, desde un servidor a un cliente en respuesta a una solicitud del mismo, sin necesidad de haberlos descargado previamente en nuestro ordenador. De forma similar, el webcasting consiste en la transmisión en directo de contenidos a través de internet, y se emplea con éxito en la retrasmisión de videoconferencias, dada la posibilidad de que los asistentes puedan interactuar. Por último, el podcasting se refiere al acto de distribuir archivos de audio en internet para su escucha en un ordenador, un reproductor mp3 o un dispositivo móvil. Numerosas asociaciones y sociedades de carácter científico o profesional, educativas, revistas, congresos y reuniones de carácter similar en el campo de la pediatría utilizan hoy en día esta tecnología, que goza de gran aceptación entre los usuarios (AU)

The distribution and broadcasting of multimedia content over the Internet has become a tool relatively cheap and simple in handling communication, being used by educators, professionals, scientists, researchers, young people and the general public. In this paper we analyze the streaming technology, webcasting and podcasting and its growing applications in the field of Pediatrics. Streaming is a data transfer service that enables the distribution of multimedia content continuously via the Internet in real time, from a server to a client in response to an application, and without being previously downloaded in our computer. Similarly, the webcasting is used to refer to the live broadcast of content via the Internet and it is used successfully in the transmission of videoconferences, given the possibility that attendees can interact. Finally, podcasting refers to the act of distributing audio files on the Internet for listening on a computer, mp3 player or mobile device. Numerous associations and scientific, educational or professional societies, journals, conferences and meetings of a similar nature in the field of Pediatrics use today this technology that is widely accepted among users (AU)

Considerations for use of dental photography and electronic media in dental education and clinical practice.

Photography and electronic media are indispensable tools for dental education and clinical practice. Although previous research has focused on privacy issues and general strategies to protect patient privacy when sharing clinical photographs for educational purposes, there are no published recommendations for developing a functional, privacy-compliant institutional framework for the capture, storage, transfer, and use of clinical photographs and other electronic media. The aims of this study were to research patient rights relating to electronic media and propose a framework for the use of patient media in education and clinical care. After a review of the relevant literature and consultation with the University of Washington's director of privacy and compliance and assistant attorney general, the researchers developed a privacy-compliant framework to ensure appropriate capture, storage, transfer, and use of clinical photography and electronic media. A four-part framework was created to guide the use of patient media that reflects considerations of patient autonomy and privacy, informed consent, capture and storage of media, and its transfer, use, and display. The best practices proposed for capture, storage, transfer, and use of clinical photographs and electronic media adhere to the health care code of ethics (based on patient autonomy, nonmaleficence, beneficence, justice, and veracity), which is most effectively upheld by a practical framework designed to protect patients and limit institutional liability. Educators have the opportunity and duty to convey these principles to students who will become the next generation of dentists, researchers, and educators.
