--- abstract: |- Purpose: To create a multimedia internet-based ECG teaching tool, with the ability to rapidly incorporate new clinical cases. Method: We created ECG Wave-Maven (http://ecg.bidmc.harvard.edu), a novel teaching tool with a direct link to an institution-wide clinical repository. We analyzed usage data from the web between December, 2000 and May 2002. Results: In 17 months, there have been 4105 distinct uses of the program. A majority of users are physicians or medical students (2605, 63%), and almost half report use as an educational tool. Conclusions: The internet offers an opportunity to provide easily-expandable, open access resources for ECG pedagogy which may be used to complement traditional methods of instruction altloc: - http://www.med-ed-online.org/t0000030.htm chapter: ~ commentary: ~ commref: ~ confdates: ~ conference: ~ confloc: ~ contact_email: ~ creators_id: [] creators_name: - family: McClennen given: Seth honourific: '' lineage: ' MD' - family: Nathanson given: Larry A. honourific: '' lineage: ' MD' - family: Safran given: Charles honourific: '' lineage: MD - family: Goldberger given: ' Ary L.' honourific: '' lineage: MD date: 2003-02 date_type: published datestamp: 2003-03-17 department: ~ dir: disk0/00/00/28/34 edit_lock_since: ~ edit_lock_until: ~ edit_lock_user: ~ editors_id: [] editors_name: [] eprint_status: archive eprintid: 2834 fileinfo: /style/images/fileicons/application_pdf.png;/2834/1/t0000030.pdf full_text_status: public importid: ~ institution: ~ isbn: ~ ispublished: pub issn: ~ item_issues_comment: [] item_issues_count: 0 item_issues_description: [] item_issues_id: [] item_issues_reported_by: [] item_issues_resolved_by: [] item_issues_status: [] item_issues_timestamp: [] item_issues_type: [] keywords: medical education; health professional education; peer-reviewed; Clinical science education; Informatics/Web; ECG; education; teaching tools lastmod: 2011-03-11 08:55:14 latitude: ~ longitude: ~ metadata_visibility: show note: ~ number: 2 pagerange: ~ pubdom: FALSE publication: Medical Education Online publisher: ~ refereed: TRUE referencetext: |- # Goodacre S, Webster A, Morris F.
