Personal Message to Course Participants:
Hello,
Welcome to this live online session.
Thank you to Professor Kalyani Premkumar for inviting me to join you all as a guest speaker.
All the 'content', for my first session with you is available for review in advance on the following blogpost - https://telmeded.blogspot.com/2020/09/technology-enhanced-learning-in-medical.html
Please 'skim' over the material, spend a little more time on what resonates with you, and bring your questions, reflections, and input to our session tomorrow.
I will share, and present directly from the blog, and reference the content there - from this blogpost.
The 'didactic' component will take up no more than 1/4 of the allocated session time.
I anticipate that we will spend over 3/4 of our session in interactive discussions.
Am looking forward to meeting you all, learning with all of you, and having fun.
In anticipation.

Please review the video recording of my previous session with you. Including takeaway(s), 'homework', transfer to practice exercise(s) - at your own time.
➡ Am going to request your permission 'live' to make a recording of today's session available for me to review after this, for me to answer any questions that you might have posed, but that we did not engage with (fully), or have an opportunity to. My response to these, additional response will be posted on my behalf by Professor Kalyani on your course discussion forum ⬅
"In essence, what you pay attention to, take note of, make note(s) of, read further into and engage with, and translate / transfer to practice (iteratively work on, work with, add to, improve upon, and customise for your own practice and professional setting) is the 'ultimate' value metric (for you) from this course, including spending time together 'here' (live and asynchronously with this online blogspot - online digital space)." - Poh-Sun Goh, 19 September 2021, 0501am, Singapore Time

Background/Further Reading:
"As cost progressively reduces, availability and usability of wearable tech for AR, VR, and Mixed Reality progressively increases, together with a deeper understanding of their appropriate use, including software and content for these “newer technologies”; and deeper understanding, wider access, and lower cost of simulation and gaming platforms and paradigms; combined with embedded, usable, and iteratively improving AI and Machine Learning; adoption and use of these technologies to complement, augment, supplement, and even replace previous more traditional methods of instruction and training will progressively increase. Technology will eventually seamlessly integrate even further into our clinical and teaching practice. Our role as educators will be to envision, plan, guide, support and oversee this process, expanding and deepening our role as teachers, instructors, content creators, curators, guides and coaches."

"At the end of the day we come back to the individual, who is the learner, and practitioner; who is trained, undergoes a training process, which is lifelong (both professional, and personal, as a lifelong, adaptable and adaptive learner, who ideally is trained formally and informally in the science of effective and efficient learning); who is certified and licensed to practice, and both maintains and regularly renews this license to practice (through rigorous evaluation and assessment, by both a formal recognized training organization— university, teaching hospital, training program; and both international and local licensing authority—professional association, e.g., fellowship and local license to practice). Continuous improvement and transformation of this lengthy longitudinal professional training and certification to practice path offers several, if not many opportunities to blend the “best use” of human guided training, feedback and coaching with technology tools and platforms (including AI, VR, AR, MR, robotics, simulation paradigms, and simulators, as well as pervasive or regularly sampled indicators and data of both performance and outcomes—with learning and performance analytics). We augment this with visibility, data, performance and outcome analysis and analytics of professional teams, and both localized and larger health systems and networks; in order to build a high functioning, high quality efficient and effective, safe clinical teams, and health systems, at local, regional, countrywide; and even at international levels. Why not? Blending the best of “human intelligence” and AI could potentially, can, and should allow us to scale best practices."

takeaways from above IAMSE Cafe session below
⬇
For me, COVID-19 has turbocharged the global widespread adoption of TEL (Technology Enhanced Learning) - in majority of settings at 'emergency' engagement levels, using what is available, to reproduce existing teaching, training and learning activities, using TEL to widen access - to content and opportunities; and connect us to each other. I have been pleasantly surprised with the relative ease to build engagement and 'trust' using the live video feature of online platforms (like Zoom), with individuals and groups I have never met in person before. Literally feeling the person or groups I am interacting with are sitting opposite me in the same space (having a face to face live discussion, or cup of coffee!) - in undergraduate, postgraduate, faculty development, and even professional individual and group 'coaching' settings. Building and maintaining 'engagement' however requires much more effort online, compared with the 'effortless' live face to face interactions we have in person, where catching non-verbal cues, and reading 'the whole person' or group is much easier.
Widespread adoption of telemedicine will be a game changer (building on above).
Building the pedagogy and evidence of good practices, and rediscovering the pedagogy (and theories) of peer learning particularly in postgraduate and lifelong learning / faculty development settings in COP (Communities of Practice) using TEL is an ongoing scholarly exercise.
Widespread digitalisation of healthcare at both local small scale and system wide levels (including informed progressive use of AI), increasing adoption of wearable technology, and consumer technology (AR, VR), as well as incremental increase in use of robotics and automation; to free bandwidth for us to double down on our humanity and being human, the human connection and human touch will be transformative.
