eLearning or TEL(Technology Enhanced Learning) is increasingly being integrated into medical education
and training, from undergraduate, through postgraduate to continuing education and lifelong learning settings,
with increasing emphasis on blended and mobile learning, in the workplace and just-in-time settings. TEL
with utilisation of digital content and engagement provides visibility of our teaching and training efforts as
educators, showing ‘what we teach with, and assess on’ (Goh, 2016). TEL approaches can also be used to
provide visibility and metrics of student engagement, as well as demonstrate intermediate and final outcomes
of student learning (Goh & Sandars, 2016; Goh, 2017).
TEL is increasing transforming medical education, going beyond substitution, augmentation and modification
of learning - the ‘SAMR model’ (Puentedura, 2013). Reflective educators, and educational scholars have
always sought to evaluate and assess the value and impact of their teaching and training efforts, and Digital
Scholarship, with attention paid to data, indicators and metrics of engagement and output, can facilitate these
efforts. Use of 'free', low cost, off the shelf, easy to use and accessible digital tools and platforms, combined
with curated and created digital content repositories, by faculty who are 'digitally literate' and professional,
facilitates adoption and scaling up of our scholarly efforts (Goh, 2018). This has direct benefits for faculty
members during the academic appointment, appraisal and promotion process; for an academic community by
making scholarly activities easily accessible, and for an institution by making academic and scholarly
activities by faculty members both easily accessible and visible.
