Teaching in an online environment only, I would have to say yes. I have used Blackboard, eCampus, and SOLE as ways to reach and teach my students and have taken many courses on line. I am also using virtual simulation in one of my courses to assist the students in critically thinking and being more prepared in their clinical setting.
thanks for the feedback. Are you aware of any research articles showing the benefit of using educational technologies in medical education? I need some research articles to convince colleagues to show them using technologies can enhance the educational experience.
This may not be directly addressed to the medical field but learning in general.
The advent of the Internet and the World Wide Web has changed the face of technology especially in the way we communicate and interact. The increasing use of this technology especially in teaching and learning has attracted enormous research efforts particularly in the development of distance and collaborative learning. Even though much gain have been recorded in this direction, there still remains a gap as to how well these highly proliferating web technologies have impacted on the collaboration between students and teachers, students and students, and its overall contribution to distance learning. This paper considered how these web-based technologies contribute to collaborative learning by enabling people to interact with each other from different locations. It identified the factors necessary to optimise the impact of web-based technologies in distance and collaborative learning and concludes by proposing a best-practice guideline that will enhance the impact of the Internet and the World Wide Web for effective distance and collaborative learning.

I would suggest taking a look at the latest issue of Interdisciplinary Journal of Problem-based Learning. It includes a couple of articles focused specifically on the use of online and mobile tools in medical education that draws on problem-based learning.
Every year we organize internet conferences on Moodle platform. For example you can look through the materials of the last students internet conference/ And if you want I can register you to participate))) Medical scienses are also included
I agree with Paivi. I may suggest the exercises with video and cinema in medical educations and the role playing tecnic to think about clinical setting
Well, I think that the medical field needs a lot of practice so it is important to look up for "simulators" of real situations that may arise in a hospital. Here I leave you this research work: Simulation-based learning: Just like the real thing, http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2966567/
If I 've done and mentee training courses for the medical area, in fact Mexico I do not handle 100 percent its online training , however , and there are enough areas in which e -learning is applied and the blendeg learning currently implemented in the state telemedicine program is to provide care and tutoring patient and physician found in remote areas
the telemedicia as option for learning in the medical area
I Annex literature on authors who handled the inclusion of technology in the medical area learning process is seen from another point Puen carries the best analysis of information received virtually so if there is any surgery or procedure should rely on process equipment that allows you to view x-rays and echoes
