Casepedia: A Web-Based Case Study Repository Enabling Collaborative Learning
Abstract
Little research exists on the usage of Web 2.0 technologies in medical and health education. Despite the lack of evidence as of yet, we believe that the collaborative benefits of Web 2.0 features can enhance case-based learning. Based on the results of a contextual inquiry, we envision eventually creating a rich, user-structured repository of medical narratives that provide the medical community a dynamic collaborative educational channel. A moderated reputation system can manage the credibility of contributions, and subsequently, the site. This prototype will also allow patients to browse or search for clinical scenarios of their interest, as well as to reflect their vision on the cases and directly connect to the contributing physicians or other patients who share similar health concerns or interest. Our goal is to enable discourse beyond blogs and wikis through a flexible platform that can transform the way users contribute loosely structured content to repositories.Description
