However, there is insufficient research into the instructional strategies health professionals prefer to engage with in e-learning. An empirical study was undertaken to answer the research question: What instructional strategies do learners prefer in e-learning modules to improve their learning experience?METHODSThe Department of Health Professions Education at the Uniformed Services University of Health Sciences developed six, stand-alone, self-paced modules for health professionals focusing on education and leadership. The module evaluation survey consisted of six Likert scale questions and two open-ended questions. Responses from these anonymized module evaluations from 2019 to 2022 were analyzed. Descriptive statistics for the Likert scale questions were calculated. Responses to the two open-ended questions were compiled and analyzed thematically.RESULTSAll survey respondents found the content of the modules helpful and met their stated learning objectives. A majority (94%) agreed or strongly agreed that readings and videos increased their knowledge in the topic area and that quizzes effectively strengthened their understanding of the topics. Four themes emerged from the qualitative data: pedagogical strategies, technology issues, feedback and interaction, and transfer of learning.CONCLUSIONSThis study foregrounds the voice of the learner, which emphasizes health professionals' preference for instructional strategies that align with their needs as adult learners. The findings highlight the value of content relevance, expert creation, and authentic examples in enhancing learner satisfaction.","PeriodicalId":520110,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Continuing Education in the Health Professions","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142214340","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
