Description¶
The article proposes a model online SR/MA course that integrates self-paced and self-directed learning, high interactivity, expert-guided feedback, and PRISMA alignment. It is designed for busy medical and health students and clinicians, delivered via Moodle LMS, and structured so that learners progressively build skills across modules, culminating in a real learner-performed SR/MA project within virtual research teams. The framework emphasizes the 'human' factor through synchronous and asynchronous trainer-learner and learner-learner interactions.
Design Implications¶
Context¶
Requirements¶
- Utilizes Moodle LMS for content delivery, assignment submission, and communication
- Requires expert trainers with discipline-specific knowledge and SR/MA skills to provide individualized feedback
Constraints¶

Target Learners¶
- Medical and health students
- Clinicians
Learning Goals¶
- Conducting systematic reviews and meta-analyses
- Applying PRISMA principles
- Critical appraisal and quality assessment
Claims¶
- Proposed model course surpasses existing courses in duration and unique real-project feature [+W]
- Proposed course provides highest human interaction among compared courses [+W]
- Proposed course is the only compared course with individualized expert feedback on assignments [+W]
