Busy clinicians need efficient professional development. The Just-In-Time Learning Loop model offers online, technology-enhanced learning strategies for faculty development, integrating microlearning and micro-credentialing for better skills acquisition.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Health Professions Education
- Learning Technologies
Background:
- Academic faculty and clinician educators face challenges in professional development due to time constraints and competing interests.
- Traditional faculty development methods are often difficult to integrate with clinical and academic responsibilities.
Purpose of the Study:
- To propose a new conceptual model for online faculty development.
- To address the need for flexible and accessible professional development for busy clinicians.
Main Methods:
- A synthetic narrative review of literature from learning technologies, medical education, and higher education.
- Synthesis of existing research to develop a novel conceptual framework.
Main Results:
- Introduction of the Just-In-Time Learning Loop, a conceptual model designed for just-in-time online faculty development.
- The model guides the creation of online learning experiences tailored for immediate application.
Conclusions:
- The Just-In-Time Learning Loop provides a framework for designing online, digital learning experiences.
- Faculty developers can utilize concepts like microlearning, micro-credentialing, and badging to enhance faculty development, particularly in fields like emergency medicine.

Purposive Learning
Cognitive Learning
E. C. Tolman's theory of purposive behavior emphasizes that much behavior is goal-directed. He argued that to understand behavior, we must look at the entire sequence of actions leading to a goal. For instance, high school students study hard, not just due to past reinforcement but also to achieve the goal of getting into a good college.
Tolman introduced the idea that behavior is influenced by...
