Perceived barriers to online education by radiologic science educators
Radiologic Technology
|May 9, 2014
Summary
Online education in radiologic sciences is growing, but barriers like IT support and institutional issues persist. Blended learning offers student-centered opportunities, requiring faculty development in online pedagogy.
Area of Science:
- Radiologic science education
- Online learning technologies
Background:
- Radiologic science programs increasingly use blended online education.
- Perceived barriers to online education formats persist within the radiologic science community.
Purpose of the Study:
- Explore the current status of online education in radiologic sciences.
- Identify barriers to providing online courses in radiography, radiation therapy, and nuclear medicine technology programs.
Main Methods:
- Conducted an electronic survey of 373 educators.
- Performed a qualitative analysis of self-identified barriers to online teaching.
Main Results:
- Identified three common themes of barriers: information technology (IT) training and support, student-related issues, and institutional challenges.
- Online education is not yet prevalent due to clinical application needs, but online activity has increased substantially.
Conclusions:
- Blended or hybrid course designs can effectively facilitate student-centered learning in radiologic sciences.
- Further faculty development in IT self-efficacy and online pedagogical methods is crucial.
- Focusing on quality educational experiences, beyond technology, is key for effective online learning environments.

The barriers to effective communication also include cultural barriers, semantic barriers, gender barriers, and time constraints.
Cultural barriers:
Differences in values, beliefs, religion, knowledge, and tradition can significantly impact communication. Awareness of nonverbal cues is critical, especially when conversing with a patient from a different culture. What appears appropriate in one culture may be inappropriate in another.
Semantic barriers:

01:30Radiological Investigation I: X-ray and CT
1.8K
Radiological investigations, including X-rays and computed tomography (CT) scans, are critical for diagnosing and evaluating various medical conditions. These imaging techniques provide valuable insights into the body's internal structures, aiding in the detection of abnormalities, assessment of disease progression, and development of treatment strategies. This article delves into two primary radiological investigations, chest X-rays and CT scans, outlining their purpose, procedures, and...

A communication barrier is any distortion or interruption during a conversation, resulting in miscommunication of the message. A good communicator should know these barriers and continuously check for the listener's understanding by obtaining feedback.
Communication barriers include the following:
Physiological barriers: They are limitations caused by a person's health condition or disability, such as hearing loss, poor eyesight, illness, or unconsciousness. An example to overcome this...

01:13Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan
722
Radiological investigations are paramount in the diagnosis and management of various pulmonary diseases. Two essential investigations are the Pulmonary Angiogram and the Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Scan.
Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...

Positron emission tomography (PET) is a medical imaging technique involving radiopharmaceuticals — substances that emit short-lived radiation. Although the first PET scanner was introduced in 1961, it took 15 more years before radiopharmaceuticals were combined with the technique and revolutionized its potential.
One of the main requirements of a PET scan is a positron-emitting radioisotope, which is produced in a cyclotron and then attached to a substance used by the part of the body...

Description
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...
