Online Learning Resources for Radiology Education: An Educational Perspective
The COVID-19 pandemic significantly disrupted radiology education, leading to a rapid transition from traditional in-person instruction to online learning. This article reviews the innovative digital tools and strategies adopted during this period, such as microlearning, virtual reality, and tablet apps, which were central in maintaining educational quality. While online platforms offered flexibility, accessibility, and global reach, challenges such as the lack of personal interaction and variability in resource quality persisted. The article emphasizes the importance of balancing online and in-person learning and highlights future directions in radiology education, including the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Virtual Reality (VR) to enhance training. By leveraging these advancements, radiology education can continue to evolve, offering comprehensive and adaptable learning experiences for trainees.
