Pillar 3 ACTION POINTS

17) We will build strong links with ITS and CAPSL through regular contact and involvement in relevant groups and projects.

18) We will publicise the existence of the OLEC, in particular to new staff members, through the provision of an “induction pack” related to online education.

19) We will strengthen links between the OLEC and the Discipline of Medical Education (when formed) to increase effective use of online education in the teaching and learning within the SoM.

20) We will encourage online education as a means of disseminating research and reaching patient cohorts through highlighting case studies in the school where this has been successful.

21) We will encourage involvement of students in the design of online educational material and assessment methods and provide them with opportunities to provide feedback on same. This will be achieved by sharing feedback mechanisms for online content, and through disseminating results of relevant feedback relating to online education in the SoM or at a College level.
