Background:

  • The INSURRECT project initiated in 1993 as a UK university collaboration.
  • Focused on distance teaching for undergraduate surgery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of interactive video in undergraduate surgical education.
  • To identify key factors for successful distance learning in surgery.

Main Methods:

  • A two-year pilot teaching course involving 108 sessions and over 1300 students.
  • Utilized interactive video technology for distance learning.

Main Results:

  • Successful teaching correlated with increased audience interaction and high-quality video transmission.

Related Experiment Videos
