Abstract

This qualitative study develops an account of how, when, where and why Leeds the undergraduate medical students engage with an online curriculum mapped clinical skills intended to provide a quality assured resource for placement supervisors to support teaching and assessment. The research population was medical undergraduates entering Year 4 <n: 250>. Descriptive statistics and thematic analysis of a short survey of closed and open questions was compared with usage analytics and documentary analysis of the development brief. Preliminary analysis shows 96% of students who completed the questionnaire used the eBook. Students use all features but to varying extents. The eBook is not used as intended to prepare for and support placement learning and assessment but predominantly used for assessment and exam preparation.
