On The Job-Training to Learn from Case Studies of Care Management Using e-Learning

Abstract

We created a website for care managers to learn about case studies, and we then conducted ICT training in which care managers could learn from video-based case studies. The purpose of this study is to identify whether these case studies, delivered through e-learning, are effective in educating the care managers.

The research subjects were 44 anonymous care managers who voluntarily agreed to take part in e-learning. The participants watched case study videos, and went through the 6 sets of content over 4 weeks. The website was accessed 296 times, and the average number of views per person was 6.7 times. The rate of access between 18:00 and 24:00 hours was 43.4%. The most useful evaluation of the contents was the one that showed the “posting and reviews of the participants” at 77.8%. The aim of the study in Cognitive Domain (5 items) and Af fective Domain (5 items) was achieved by ever yone, and in Psychomotor Domain (2 items) reached from 37.6% to 29.6%. A total of 85.2% of the subjects voted in favor of the effectiveness of e-learning, whereas 14.8% of them were against it.

Learning the practice of care management through ICT education proved to be an effective educational method for on the job-training as well as for self-study methods.
