This book offers a structured approach for deploying and integrating educational technologies into the learning ecosystem to support medical education. It is evident that educational technologies and innovations have immense potential to enhance learners’ and trainees’ experiences and improve outcomes, ultimately contributing to better competency and capacity to perform professionally. However, innovative products and technologies are often introduced into the educational ecosystem without proper consideration for prevailing pedagogical principles, learning theories, instructional design requirements, and other critical factors. This has created the need for a structured approach to deploying these technologies in support of medical education. The Adaptation, Standardization, Integration and Compliance (ASIC) framework described in this book offers that structured approach.
The ASIC Framework emphasizes tenets that include adaptation, standardization, integration, and compliance, providing a structured approach to optimizing educational technologies and innovations. This work is divided into six sections. The first section discusses the fundamentals of the educational ecosystem and introduces ASIC. The following four sections each describe one of the four tenets of ASIC: adaptation, standardization, integration, and compliance. Each chapter consists of a theoretical foundation, a case study, practical examples, and application principles. The final section takes contemporary considerations into account, recognizing that the modern medical educator needs a significant level of technological competence and the constantly advancing nature of technology.
The principal audience for Adaptation, Standardization, Integration and Compliance: A Framework for Optimizing Educational Technologies and Innovations are medical educators teaching students in the pre-clerkship phase of medical education, clinical educators, simulation instructors, and instructional design experts. Medical education technology specialists, program leadership in medical education, and medical school administrators will also find this book of great interest.
