Abstract:
Due to their constant availability and flexibility, digital media offer a cooperative and communicative learning arrangement for student training. These advantages must be integrated into medical didactics as part of a hybrid teaching concept, and the digital potential must be used to improve preparation and follow-up opportunities, increase the effectiveness of face-to-face courses, and optimize learning success. For this purpose, the online learning platform Raditorium.com was developed. The aim of this thesis is to demonstrate the learning success of Raditorium.com as the basis of a hybrid learning concept in the field of medical didactics and to authorize it on the basis of student evaluations.As the core of hybrid learning, the online learning platform Raditorium.com was analyzed in terms of its concept and impact. The website focuses on course preparation and follow-up and combines cursory and associative learning with the motivational strategy of gamification. Raditorium.com embodies a teaching concept for the digital enhancement of face-to-face courses in order to maximize students' learning success.The results of the student evaluations show a significant improvement in overall satisfaction since the introduction of Raditorium.com as a learning platform. In the semesters before the introduction of Raditorium.com, the average ranking of radiology among clinical subjects was 24 and subsequently increased to 1.6. The average score of the evaluation issues (1-5; 1: strongly agree, 5: disagree) over a 6-semester period improved from 3.14 to 1.2 and the final grade of the entire course from 3.5 to 1.2. Students' open comments also emphasized better exams, adjustment to individual needs, and greater learning enjoyment.Thanks to their flexibility and individual availability, online platforms make it easier for students to learn radiological concepts and provide an intrinsically motivating learning environment through the possibility of innovative learning strategies that can be ideally synchronized with the teaching concept of preparation and follow-up. · Just-in-time teaching optimizes learning motivation by providing instructional materials at the moment of need.. · Structured digital content enhances effectiveness.. · Gamification increases student motivation and participation.. · The introduction of the online platform Raditorium.com improves student satisfaction..
