Comparing telesimulation-based learning and e-learning as remote education delivery methods in pre-hospital practice.
Introduction: Pre-hospital practitioners based at rural and geographically spread-out regions often find it difficult to access education and training for continuous professional development.

Distance learning can resolve the dilemma of how to provide high-quality education where the number of participants is small and widely scattered. E-learning is an established teaching modality that has been widely used, whereas telesimulation is a novel teaching tool that has been evolving throughout the past decade. This study aimed to evaluate the experience of e-learning compared to telesimulation for pre-hospital practitioners. Methods: This study was conducted from January to June 2021. Twenty-six pre-hospital responders were randomly allocated to complete either an e-learning module or a telesimulation session based on acute paediatric asthma. Each participant completed a post-session satisfaction questionnaire for quantitative and qualitative analysis. For the telesimulation session, all participants attended remotely, while the faculty were based on site. The e-learning module was accessed by the participants via the internet. Results: Both modalities were positively received, with participants agreeing that the learning objectives were met. However, telesimulation was rated significantly higher in terms of engagement (p = 0.044) and suitability (p = 0.033). Qualitative feedback highlighted the immersive and realistic nature of telesimulation as key advantages, while e-learning was appreciated for its flow and stimulating questions. Conclusion: Telesimulation and e-learning can help learners with restricted availability and geographical challenges. Telesimulation allows learners to work as a multi-disciplinary team despite being scattered across a large geographical area, while e-learning gives learners the flexibility to access education at a convenient time. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: pictorial research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
