Summary
Crowd-sourced curriculum development can accelerate the creation of online medical education centers. This approach offers innovation opportunities but requires better goal articulation and evaluation tools for effective implementation.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Online Learning
- Curriculum Development
Background:
- Online educational content and its integration into teaching have grown significantly.
- However, large-scale online learning centers for medical education are still underdeveloped.
- Crowd-sourced curriculum development presents a potential solution to expedite this growth.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore the landscape, best practices, and future directions of crowd-sourced curriculum development in medical education.
- To apply Kern's framework for curriculum development using emergency medicine as a case study.
- To identify areas for innovation and scholarship in developing online medical learning centers.
Main Methods:
- A scoping review of online educational content was conducted by subject matter experts.
- Kern's curriculum development framework guided the review process.
- A modified nominal group consensus process was used to establish best practices and recommendations.
Main Results:
- Educational content and needs assessments were the most represented steps in curriculum design.
- Gaps in specific content areas and underrepresented instructional methods were identified as innovation opportunities.
- Articulation of goals/objectives and curricular evaluation tools were notably underrepresented.
Conclusions:
- Crowd-sourced curriculum development can distribute the workload for creating comprehensive online learning centers.
- Significant opportunities for innovation and scholarship exist across all stages of curriculum development.
- Successful implementation requires developers to align their contributions with collective efforts.

Inhaled medications are crucial for managing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma. They are essential for effective treatment and control, ensuring optimal respiratory health and well-being. Inhaled medication delivers drugs directly to the lungs, providing a rapid onset of action and reducing systemic side effects compared to oral or injectable medications. Three primary types of inhalation devices are used to administer these medications: nebulizers, metered-dose inhalers...
