1) Assess the potential of online and mobile e-learning innovations to augment your residents', medical students', and staff's educational curricula. 2) Acquire the domain knowledge to use already available content (eg, PowerPoint presentations) to both create video content and deploy e-learning courses on modern web-based and mobile platforms. 3) Acquire the domain knowledge to create an interactive Apple iBook (electronic books) with text, images, video, and interactive questions.

1. From OpenCourseWare to the Khan Academy, and now to Coursera, e-learning has been dramatically improved over the last decade, changing education from the normal classroom into learning done at convenience, and also allows for more creative and engaging content during the typical lecture. Stanford Med published positive initial findings in utilizing video-based lectures in an interactive class setting. Leveraging this new way of learning, requires knowledge about the types of technology and platforms for these courses. 2. The workflow required to host an e-learning course can be summarized in 3 steps: (a) creating the educational content, (b) hosting the materials, and (c) making the materials available to the intended audience. E-content today typically consists of lecture slides along with video recordings captured by technology like TechSmith Camtasia (non-free) and Apple Quicktime (free). Once the materials are created and edited, one must choose a suitable hosting platform realistic to the skills and goals of the instructor with options that include coursesites.com, iTunes U, and YouTube / Google Hangouts. Students can then be invited to view the material or the content can be made available to the public. 3. Creating and publishing e-books is a great way to share your teaching material as an engaging interactive tool. Publishing in e-book format solves many logistical problems of conventional publishing and the e-book format has interactive features that paper books can't match. We will review the process of creating your own e-book from assembling material to layout design to submitting for e-publication. Specifically Apple iBooks Author software will be used to demonstrate converting an existing Powerpoint presentation or journal publication into an e-book. In addition, the course will go over how to publish with or without DRM (copy-protection) and ways to obtain an ISBN for publishing for sale. Online resources will also be reviewed.
