The rise of social media and mobile technology means that old methods of teaching in universities can increasingly be complemented with online mechanisms.
At the University of Manchester, Jamie Sergeant has made great efforts to teach rheumatologists statistical skills that would help with their research. Not only that, he has managed to get the medical researchers to reciprocate using online tools including YouTube and social media. He spoke of his experience organising ‘Rheum101’ a 20-minute introductory session on rheumatology which was live-streamed on YouTube and supported by a Twitter hashtag, email online and paper feedback mechanisms. However, there are few incentives currently for academics to become involved in this and while small, there are still costs involved.
