Peer review of educational technology requires new considerations beyond traditional manuscripts. Addressing challenges in e-learning peer review involves training, multidisciplinary approaches, guidelines, and incentives.

Area of Science:

Medical Education
Educational Technology
Scholarly Publishing

Background:

Peer review is essential for academic publication quality.
E-learning materials in medical education often lack rigorous peer review.
Existing peer review processes may not adequately address e-learning specificities.

Purpose of the Study:

To contrast peer review for e-learning versus print materials.
To identify challenges in peer reviewing e-learning resources.
To propose solutions for enhancing e-learning peer review.

Main Methods:

Comparative analysis of peer review for print and e-learning materials.
Identification of unique aspects of e-learning requiring reviewer attention (pedagogy, usability, interactivity, etc.).

Proposal of four strategies to improve e-learning peer review quality and efficiency.

Main Results:

E-learning peer review necessitates evaluation of factors like format, usability, navigation, interactivity, and ease of updating.
Four approaches are suggested: training, multidisciplinary review, guidelines, and incentives/compensation.
Refinement of the e-learning peer review process is achievable through structured improvements.

Conclusions:

The core principles of peer review remain, but e-learning introduces unique technological and pedagogical considerations.
Implementing proposed strategies can enhance the rigor and efficiency of e-learning peer review.
Further research into optimizing the peer review of educational technology is recommended.
