The purpose of this study is to compare the educational efficacy of instructional design enhancements in on-line learning modules in the context of clinical medical education.
This study involved medical students from seven US medical schools participating in a trial of two WISE-MD computer-based learning modules. Students were randomized to 1 of 4 study arms. The 4 content-equivalent conditions were: screen shots with voiceover and no interactivity; learner control of pacing through multi-media content; social networking features; and social networking features plus user interface enhancements.

| Immediate Post Knowledge Test | An 8 week-long Surgery Clerkship (Jefferson University is 12 weeks) occurs 6 times (JU 4 times) per year. Students enroll on day 1, complete the baseline surveys in week 1, access the intervention modules by week 2. Learning outcomes (knowledge test) are measured immediately after the modules, at week 4 they complete online multiple-choice tests and a clinical reasoning measure, week 8, week 12 at JU, students complete a clinical reasoning measure. | Week 2 |
| Mid-clerkship Knowledge Test | An 8 week-long Surgery Clerkship (Jefferson University is 12 weeks) occurs 6 times (JU 4 times) per year. Students enroll on day 1, complete the baseline surveys in week 1, access the intervention modules by week 2. Learning outcomes (knowledge test) are measured immediately after the modules, at week 4 they complete online multiple-choice tests and a clinical reasoning measure, week 8, week 12 at JU, students complete a clinical reasoning measure. | Week 4 |
