Abstract

BACKGROUND: Short video clips are useful for learning clinical procedures, especially at the point of care and in distributed education. A literature review confirmed key points relating to material brevity, adjunct materials, and some evidence of their impact on learning. ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENT: Collaborative participation by many groups and organizations has resulted in a high functioning and productive team. Key activities and personal contributions were enhanced by web-based collaborative software that maximizes team effectiveness. FUTURE STEPS: Further external collaboration with future partners around the world will be easier with new licensing and collaborative networking approaches.
