Formative evaluation to guide early deployment of an online content management tool for medical curriculum.

We piloted KM with the first year anatomy course by providing 1) a home page that displayed all the lectures of the anatomy course and 2) a search feature to locate biomedical concepts in documents throughout the curriculum, and 3) a browse feature to locate all lectures of every class in the curriculum. At the conclusion of the anatomy course, medical students completed a survey that determined their overall satisfaction with KM and satisfaction with various components of KM. Students also had the option to provide narrative comments about their experience with KM.
