Description

A free web-based learning platform built with the Google Sites application, part of the "Google Workspace for Education" suite, accessed via institutional accounts. The site was "structured in a homepage and ECG bank containing 30 ECG tracings accompanied by their corresponding clinical vignettes", with guidance on a recommended three-week work progression, a debriefing method, and a downloadable nine-step ECG interpretation worksheet. Separate Google Sites provided weekly answers to the interpreted tracings. Students interpreted two pre-selected ECGs per day, and weekly debriefing sessions reviewed ten designated tracings.

Design Implications

Context

Requirements

  • Access via institutional accounts of the format [email protected] or [email protected]
  • Weekly debriefing sessions with a supervising tutor to review and discuss the designated tracings
  • Students required to complete the interpretation of at least 24 out of 30 ECG tracings

Constraints

  • Development of the ECG bank and corresponding answers was time-consuming
  • The study was conducted at a single center with a relatively small sample

Target Learners

  • First-year second-cycle medical students (MS3) during a cardiology rotation

Learning Goals

  • Methodical interpretation of electrocardiograms
  • Structured application of a nine-step ECG interpretation approach
