Innovation Insights

<p>As learning opportunities continue to expand online, many professionals are choosing to enhance their careers by participating in massive open online courses (MOOCs). Although this rise of online education opportunities can expand the possibilities for continuing education and lifelong learning, few studies have examined the learner outcomes following the completion of online courses. For example, did participating in the course allow learners to advance in their job, acquire new skills, or allow them to apply for new jobs? This session will share the results of an evaluation performed to develop a deeper understanding of how participation in a course active since 2013, <em><em>Instructional Methods in Health Professions Education</em></em>, impacted learners. Using a mixed-methods approach, researchers evaluated the characteristics of learners in the course, the professional outcomes that learners achieved after taking the course, and the learning communities that may have developed from the course.</p><p><br></p><h3>Innovation Insights</h3><p>The Center for Academic Innovation brings together people who want to transform education, share knowledge, and increase learner success by hosting inspiring talks, collaborative problem-solving workshops, and discussions on the latest in educational research and practice.
