The TELMA platform enhances minimally invasive surgery training with interactive features. Surgeons perceive TELMA positively, indicating its usefulness for cognitive skills development in surgical education.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Surgical Training
  • E-learning Technologies

Background:

  • Traditional minimally invasive surgery training methods like lectures are limited.
  • E-learning offers accessible training but lacks essential features like evaluation and collaboration.
  • Existing web technologies do not fully support the comprehensive needs of surgical skills development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce the TELMA (Technology-Enhanced Learning for Minimally Invasive Surgery) platform.
  • To present a novel e-learning environment designed for cognitive skills training in minimally invasive surgery.
  • To validate the TELMA platform's usability and acceptance among surgeons.

Main Methods:

  • The TELMA platform utilizes a four-component architecture: authoring tool, content management system, evaluation module, and professional network.
