E-Learning

The development and availability of technology can revolutionize ophthalmic education, helping teachers and students connect efficiently and economically.

The Committee on Technologies for Teaching & Learning Continuing Professional Development seeks to explore new and emerging technologies for ophthalmic education and provide technical guidance for online courses and other learning experiences.

This is led by Chair Eduardo Mayorga, MD.

Technology for Teaching and Learning

icotechnology.ophthalmologyblogs.org: A blog on how to teach.
Practical tips and information for educators on subjects like conceptual maps, adding narration to PowerPoint presentations, synchronous e-learning, Wikis, and teaching evidence based medicine.

The Ophthalmology Webinar Network
The Webinar Network shares live and archived lectures from residency programs around the world. The intent of the Ophthalmology Webinar Network is to maximize existing resources from residency programs and expand educators' access to them.

Visit the Webinar Network at ophthalmologywebinars.blogspot.com.ar.

If you belong to an institution that runs webinars, please let us know if you would like to list them in the Network. Similarly, if you train residents and would like to share your lectures in the Network, please also contact us at educators@icoph.org.

Online Courses
Organized by the ICO, these courses cover the online application of adult learning principles, how to plan and build courses, how to select and use the best software tools, and how to put these new skills and information into practice. Upcoming courses are announced in the Center for Ophthalmic Educators.
