Evaluation of Medical Education virtual Program: P3 model

Area of Science:

• Medical Education
• E-learning

Background:

• E-learning involves creating and delivering content for virtual learners.
• The study focuses on evaluating the inaugural virtual master's program in medical education at Shiraz University of Medical Sciences.

Purpose of the Study:

• To evaluate the effectiveness of the first virtual master's program in medical education.
• Utilize the P3 e-learning model as the evaluation framework.

Main Methods:

• Employed an evaluation research design with a post single-group approach.
• Collected data from 60 students and 21 experts (teachers, directors).
• Utilized a 5-point Likert scale evaluation tool based on the P3 e-learning model.

Main Results:

• Students rated storyboard and course design highly (2.30±0.76).
• Technical support received the lowest rating (1.17±1.23).

Conclusions:

• Implementing evaluation frameworks like the P3 model is crucial for efficient e-learning curriculum delivery.
• Standardized evaluation tools can enhance the quality and effectiveness of current and future e-learning programs in higher education.
