Educational design research transformed a limited in-person Good Clinical Practices (GCP) inspection course into an accessible online format. This expansion aims to equip more public health professionals with essential GCP knowledge and skills for safer, more reliable clinical research.
Area of Science:
- Public Health
- Educational Technology
- Clinical Research Management
Background:
- Good Clinical Practices (GCP) are essential for ensuring participant safety and data integrity in clinical research.
- Current face-to-face GCP inspection training is limited by budget and capacity, reaching only 15 professionals annually.
- The World Health Organization has offered a decade-long, but restricted, global GCP inspection course in Indonesia.
Purpose of the Study:
- To address the challenge of limited access to Good Clinical Practices (GCP) training for public health professionals.
- To redesign a global face-to-face GCP inspection course into an online authentic learning environment.
- To identify and discuss design principles for effective online GCP training through Educational Design Research (EDR).
Main Methods:
- Educational Design Research (EDR) methodology was employed to guide the transition from face-to-face to online learning.
- The study involved the development and implementation of an online authentic learning environment for GCP inspection training.
- A beta test was conducted with 12 participants to evaluate the new online course.
Main Results:
- The transition to an online authentic learning environment was successfully accomplished using EDR.
- A beta test of the online course involved 12 participants, providing initial feedback on its effectiveness.
- The research yielded valuable design principles for creating scalable and accessible online GCP training.
Conclusions:
- Educational Design Research provides a robust framework for developing effective online professional development in public health.
- The online authentic learning environment offers a scalable solution to overcome the limitations of traditional face-to-face GCP training.
- The findings support the broader implementation of online learning to enhance global capacity in Good Clinical Practices inspections.
