未贴标：包括音频和视频会议设施在内的医疗技术为分散在各地的保健专业人员提供了与他人联系和协作的机会。这些技术被公认为能够在医疗保健专业人员团队和他们的患者之间进行远程咨询和远程协作，也非常适合于提供远程学习计划，称为tele-learning.AIM：确定远程学习提供方法与传统的面对面教育提供方法相比是否能够达到同等的学习效果。一个系统的文献综述委托由新南威尔士州卫生部，以确定结果相关的程序应用远程学习提供方法在提供教育的卫生专业人员。结果：审查发现很少有研究，严格比较远程学习与传统格式。然而，有一些证据支持的前提，远程学习模式实现可比的学习成果，参与者普遍满意，并接受这种交付方法。结论：审查表明，远程学习技术不仅使远程学习的机会，但实现可比的学习成果，传统的面对面的模式。需要更严格的证据来加强这些研究结果，并应成为未来远程学习研究的重点。
UNLABELLED: Telecommuniciation technologies, including audio and videoconferencing facilities, afford geographically dispersed health professionals the opportunity to connect and collaborate with others. Recognised for enabling tele-consultations and tele-collaborations between teams of health care professionals and their patients, these technologies are also well suited to the delivery of distance learning programs, known as tele-learning.AIM: To determine whether tele-learning delivery methods achieve equivalent learning outcomes when compared with traditional face-to-face education delivery methods.METHODS: A systematic literature review was commissioned by the NSW Ministry of Health to identify results relevant to programs applying tele-learning delivery methods in the provision of education to health professionals.RESULTS: The review found few studies that rigorously compared tele-learning with traditional formats. There was some evidence, however, to support the premise that tele-learning models achieve comparable learning outcomes and that participants are generally satisfied with and accepting of this delivery method.CONCLUSION: The review illustrated that tele-learning technologies not only enable distance learning opportunities, but achieve comparable learning outcomes to traditional face-to-face models. More rigorous evidence is required to strengthen these findings and should be the focus of future tele-learning research.
