背景：计算机辅助教学（CAI）的使用正在卫生专业教育中兴起。迄今为止的研究是有限的使用在指导CAI innovations.Aims的实施和选择：在两个专题讨论会的背景下，系统的评论进行了讨论，评估文学基于互联网的学习，虚拟病人，和动画。每次会议都包括一个辩论，目标是就当前最佳实践和未来研究达成共识。方法：对讨论进行主题分析，按主题排列问题，消除冗余，并将其制作成一个有凝聚力的叙述。问题分析表明，使用CAI有明显的优势，既有的教育理论必然会指导未来CAI工具的发展和选择。采用计算机辅助教学的学校需要仔细考虑效益、成本、可用资源以及教师和学生在教育实践中接受变化的能力。未来研究的潜在领域应集中在CAI教学功能的有效性，整合电子学习到现有的课程和其他模式，如模拟，并使用CAI在评估更高层次的outcomes.Conclusions：有许多机会为未来的研究，这将是重要的重要主题达成共识。
Background: The use of Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI) is rising across health professions education. Research to date is of limited use in guiding the implementation and selection of CAI innovations.Aims: In the context of two symposia, systemic reviews were discussed that evaluate literature in Internet-based learning, Virtual Patients, and animations. Each session included a debate with the goal of reaching consensus on best current practices and future research.Methods: Thematic analysis of the discussions was performed to arrange the questions by theme, eliminate redundancy, and craft them into a cohesive narrative.Results: The question analysis revealed that there are clear advantages to the use of CAI, and that established educational theories should certainly inform the future development and selection of CAI tools. Schools adopting CAI need to carefully consider the benefits, cost, available resources, and capacity for teachers and learners to accept change in their practice of education. Potential areas for future research should focus on the effectiveness of CAI instructional features, integration of e-learning into existing curricula and with other modalities like simulation, and the use of CAI in assessment of higher-level outcomes.Conclusions: There are numerous opportunities for future research and it will be important to achieve consensus on important themes.
