TL;DR
Distributing Microsim to healthcare providers prior to attending an ALS courses did not improve either cognitive or psychomotor skills performance during cardiac arrest simulation testing.
Abstract
Distributing Microsim to healthcare providers prior to attending an ALS courses did not improve either cognitive or psychomotor skills performance during cardiac arrest simulation testing. The challenge that lies ahead is to identify the optimal way to use e-learning as part of a blended approach to learning for this type of training programme.

It is argued that librarians can play an important role in e-learning: providing support and support materials; teaching information skills; managing and providing access to online information resources; producing their own e- learning packages; assisting in the development of other packages.

431 Citations2001Trisha Greenhalgh
Access to the wide range of online options illustrated in the figure must surely make learning more exciting, effective, and likely to be retained, and this assumption is potentially but by no means inevitably correct.

The need is not only for more CPR but also for better-quality CPR, as both skills acquisition and skills retention have been shown to be poor after conventional training in CPR for laypersons.

A more explicit discussion of theories of learning, and of paradigms of research, might helpfully inform future practice and future research on simulation.

152 Citations1998David A. Rogers, Glenn Regehr +2 more
CAL and LFS were equally effective in conveying the cognitive information associated with this skill and comments by the students suggest that the lack of feedback in this model of CAL was the significant difference between these two educational methods.

111 Citations2009Christopher Carroll, Andrew Booth +3 more
If they are to enhance health professionals' experience of e‐learning, courses need to address presentation and course design; they must be flexible, offer mechanisms for both support and rapid assessment, and develop effective and efficient means of communication, especially among the students themselves.

99 Citations2008Helen McVeigh
This research finds the perception of e-learning is positively influenced by its flexibility in time management, pace of learning, self direction and widening access to information.

A theoretical basis is offered to understand physicians' beliefs towards completing an internet-based continuing medical education program on EBM and several modifications were carried out to enhance the uptake of the program by physicians and, therefore, its implementation.

Simulation and multimedia educational tools were effective and may provide significant additive benefit compared to reading alone and Indian students enjoyed learning via these modalities.

Very short, DVD-based, self-instructional packages may be suitable for more widespread use, including distance-learning and other circumstances in which educational opportunities and resources are limited.
ResuscitationUsing e-learning for maintenance of ALS competence
60 Citations2009Morten Lind Jensen, Frederik Mondrup +2 more
This study did not demonstrate an effect of an e-learning program as a booster of competence acquired from an ALS course, and the primary factor influencing the use of e- learning was the lack of social interaction.

Individuals without prior BLS training showed improved behaviour and assessment skills after exposure to the JUST CD, but motor skill acquisition requires alternative learning strategies.
ResuscitationOnline Resuscitation Training. Does it improve high school students’ ability to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation in a simulated environment?
57 Citations2006Gavin Teague, Richard H. Riley
It is concluded that the online course improved course participant's knowledge of BLS significantly, but not their ability to perform; that online first aid courses may be useful for knowledge acquisition but that they do not confer any benefit, in performance of B LS skills.
