  5. BMJ Learning and customised websites A customised channel could contain: • a home page – which you could control and change as you saw fit • a modules page – you could populate the site with learning modules • a plan and record • an about assessment page • a curriculum and competencies page – you could control this. Any site could be co-branded.

  6. BMJ Learning and customised websites You can be as involved as you like in the creation of a customised channel. • You may choose a light touch approach where you change only the text on the home page at set intervals • Or you may choose a more hands on approach where you would be responsible for content creation according to a fixed template and the text of all the web pages

  7. BMJ Learning and customised websites Division of responsibilities • Who would do what - we would also need to decide on ownership and governance

  19. The goal of BMJ Learning To become to best available provider of high quality interactive and independent learning resources for a wide number of interdisciplinary health professional audiences.

  20. Current status • Interactive case histories (these involve a pre-test, a number of interactive case presentations and a post-test) • Just in time learning resources (these are evidence based reviews with assessment questions at the end) • Read reflect respond learning resources (these are reflective type modules about ethical issues or professionalism) • BMJ Masterclass highlights (these are a series of radio interviews with speakers from BMJ Masterclass – our face-to-face learning events) • Multimedia modules (these contain state of the art multimedia and interactivity). BMJ Learning provides a wide variety of online learning resources to cater for learners with different learning styles. It provides:

  21. Processes for deciding on content We decide what topics to publish modules on according to two processes: • Needs assessment • Curriculum-led services • We work with a wide variety of health professionals to help us decide on CME content. This includes working GPs, medical educationalists, speciality journal editors and academic leaders.

  22. Processes for deciding on content (2) • “hot topics” • the BMJ itself • monthly specialist journals • BMJ Clinical Evidence • external resources: national and international guidelines, national service frameworks, other journals.
