Abstract
Podcasts for healthcare information: Podcasts are widely regarded by the public and learners as highly useful and relevant, earning high scores for satisfaction and ease of use. In younger audiences, podcasts have been shown to significantly increase awareness and understanding of complex topics.
An introduction to artificial intelligence-generated podcasts (aigps): Targeted and personalized learning through AIGP may aid in facilitating information digestion and retention. In this pilot study, we examined whether AIGP can simplify scientific health-related literature in an engaging manner while maintaining accuracy for the purposes of health education.
Aigp pilot study: To test the utility of AIGP in health education, we evaluated the engagement and performance of AIGP in comparison with matched human-generated podcasts. All six podcasts were evaluated using a validated rubric to assess critical literature evaluation skills. Inter-rater agreement showed moderate to good agreement and concordance between the three human evaluators.Both types of podcasts gave comparable definitions of concepts and were considered equally as engaging as per human evaluation.
Discussion and future directions: A technology such as AIGP holds promise for modernizing and augmenting academic curricula; however, its effectiveness in improving education outcomes across various healthcare disciplines must be rigorously assessed and evaluated prior to implementation.
期刊介绍:
Medical Teacher provides accounts of new teaching methods, guidance on structuring courses and assessing achievement, and serves as a forum for communication between medical teachers and those involved in general education. In particular, the journal recognizes the problems teachers have in keeping up-to-date with the developments in educational methods that lead to more effective teaching and learning at a time when the content of the curriculum—from medical procedures to policy changes in health care provision—is also changing. The journal features reports of innovation and research in medical education, case studies, survey articles, practical guidelines, reviews of current literature and book reviews. All articles are peer reviewed.
