TL;DR
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.

Computers & EducationComparing dropouts and persistence in e-learning courses
693 Citations2005Yair Levy
Results show that students satisfaction with e- learning is a key indicator in students decision to dropout from e-learning courses, and that the academic locus of control appears to have no impact on students decision.

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.

347 Citations2004RobL. Martens, J.T.M. Gulikers +1 more
Investigating what students actually did in an electronic learning environment that was designed as a game-like realistic simulation in which students had to play the role of a junior consultant showed that students with high intrinsic motivation did not do more, rather they tended to do different things.

311 Citations2008Charles Kromann, Morten Lind Jensen +1 more
This study was conducted to determine whether testing as the final activity in a skills course increases learning outcome compared with an equal amount of time spent practising the skill.

It is proved that a correlation exists between dropouts and students' age, but not gender, although female students are more reluctant to start following a course, and that female students' commitment to a course is stronger and thus, they do not drop out as easily as male students do.

172 Citations2000Eustacia Su, Terri A. Schmidt +2 more
Pediatric clinical knowledge rose sharply immediately after the course but returned to baseline levels within six months, and there was no difference between the groups in knowledge scores at 12 months, despite the interventions at six months.
ResuscitationRetention of CPR performance in anaesthetists
141 Citations2005Federico Semeraro, L Signore +1 more
Comparison between consultants and residents showed that consultants retained knowledge information better, skills decreased comparably in both groups and residents performed tasks faster, supports the need for periodical reinforcement during intervals before recertification.
PubMedPhysicians' and nurses' retention of knowledge and skill after training in cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
135 Citations1983David Gass, Laura Curry
Physicians and nurses in a community hospital who successfully completed the standard 1-day training program in basic life support cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) were retested 6 and 12 months after training, which suggests that practice with feedback is necessary during the 1-year period before retraining and recertification.

Teachers developing WBL activities should consider assessing and adapting to accommodate learners defined by the wholist–analytic and active–reflective constructs, and other adaptations should be considered experimental.

The observations suggest that during the first critical 8 min of a resuscitation attempt, 58% more compressions might be delivered by using the 50:5 ratio - an increase that is likely to result in a significant augmentation of blood flow with important clinical implications.

A high feasibility of developing e-learning that coexists with other CE models (e.g. traditional instruction) is revealed and directions for decreasing barriers for developing a learning model of this new medium for nurses' CE are provided.

57 Citations2006Simon Cooper, Elaine Johnston +1 more
The course leads to a significant increase in skills and knowledge with good knowledge retention and skill decline is significant which raises questions about the practice of practitioners who are not updated regularly.

54 Citations2008Morten Lind Jensen, Morten Lind Jensen +8 more
Half a year of clinical experience, before participation in an ALS course had a small but statistically significant impact on the retention of learning, but not on the immediate learning outcome.

A small-scale replication of a high quality review of the distance learning literature from 1992-1999 concluded that most of the research on distance learning had serious methodological flaws, and the results of that review indicated that the sample of post-1999 articles had the same methodological flaws.
