Aims & Objectives

G4 Aims
The aim of this project is to use recently-developed technologies to assist in the creation of a more interactive and integrated model of curriculum delivery in medicine. The intention is to create a more adaptive, personalised, competency-based style of learning which more closely matches the role of the practitioner.

G4 Objectives
The main objectives of the G4 project are as follows:

  1. To review existing paper-based PBL cases and rewrite where necessary to fit new curriculum objectives.
  2. To deliver 18 interactive virtual patient cases as replacements for paper-based PBL cases.
  3. To deliver 36 adaptive assessments with these cases.
  4. To integrate an array of resources, assessments, the e-portfolio and Web 2.0 tools with all administrative course elements and face-to-face teaching, and to include delivery to mobile devices.
  5. To produce a complete set of guidelines, interactive open source tools, and training and learning scenarios to enable institutions and teachers in different disciplines to set up similar systems.
  6. To roll out these supporting technologies to the rest of the undergraduate medicine (MBBS) course.
