Technagogy-enhanced continuing professional development (CPD) for health professionals: design and evaluation

Due to the changing needs and technological advancement in the twenty-first century, “technagogy” or the arts and science of teaching with technology has emerged as an underexplored opportunity in the continuing professional development (CPD). However, little is known on how to develop and evaluate a technagogy-enhanced CPD for health professionals. A mixed-methods study was utilized to generate well-grounded curriculum and evaluation frameworks that integrate technagogy and outcomes-based teaching and learning in CPD. The CPD evaluation of the implemented learning program revealed that a technagogy-enhanced CPD could lead to excellent and effective written, supported, taught, tested, and learned curriculum aspects. The designed frameworks can guide the theory, practice, research, and policy of CPD program development and evaluation.
