The development of this e-learning was initiated and led by two students. Its greatest interest lies in the fact that it is based on a need they had as learners. It emerged from their own experience of learning this skill. They emphasize the importance of knowing that such a project is possible, that students can get involved in teaching. Their input can be crucial in identifying a gap and responding to it. This "for and by peers" process enabled them to adjust the course to the level requirements needed during the different learning stages. They drew many examples and recommendations from their internship experience, making the content as close as possible to the clinical reality students will face.
The design of the tool was made possible thanks to access to the fee-based rise.articulate platform that a teacher shared with them. This easy-to-use platform makes self-training quick and easy. It has the essential advantage of offering a product that can be easily modified and upgraded according to the feedback received from the various contributors: a section can be easily modified, or a chapter added.
The students' main advice is to create a highly structured outline of all the knowledge that will appear in the theoretical sections or on the flashcards, before even thinking about the final form of presentation. It is essential to keep in mind the learning objectives and the usefulness of the proposed training.
The theory proposed in e-learning is based on basic medical references. However, as case presentation has been little investigated, and is present in very few books, this content is essentially based on experience. This was a particular challenge for the designers, who did not yet possess this level of expertise when they created the tool. They warmly recommend turning to the right people, daring to contact experienced colleagues, and not being afraid to network. They have, for example, contacted all the specialist departments teaching at master’s level to find out what they are missing in the case presentations made to them by interns.
