Exploring interactive desktop videoconferencing technology to extend clinical teacher's engagement in a PGCert in Medical Education and beyond!

There is an increasing expectation that clinical teachers actively support e-learning for and with their learners however their own learning experiences in this field may be very narrow. One of our challenges is to encourage teachers undertaking a Postgraduate Certificate in Medical Education through blended learning to engage with their own on-line learning and extend their concepts of e-learning beyond a depository of resources and explore the learning value of more interactive communication tools. Ultimately our aim is to help develop clinical teachers who are then able to engage their own learners in similar e-learning environments effectively.
