Abstract: Electronic discussion lists are used by many groups, including GPs, for communication and information sharing. The technology offers potential for formal learning and professional development. Various models have been proposed to describe the dynamics of such 'virtual' forums, and research is required to explore how such a discussion list might support professional development. We aimed to explore the use of the Internet-based discussion group gp-uk by GPs and their colleagues. We carried out a qualitative study of the electronic text generated by GPs and colleagues on an academic medical discussion group. The list gp-uk has features of a collaborative medium, in which the audience are also contributors. There is support for a 'critical mass' model, in which a relatively small number of members contribute on a regular basis. There is little support for a 'discretionary database' model of more formal sharing of specific factual information. The findings indicate a model for a 'virtual classroom' for computer-mediated learning and professional development. A critical mass of participants is a requisite, the list should be facilitated to guide discussions and supporting resources such as an Internet web-site should be provided.

Abstract: To deliver and evaluate an internet course in change management for primary care professionals. A 12-week course delivered over the internet. Respondents were allocated into two groups: one had access to the course tutor in idually, while the other could also communicate with the rest of the learner group. Learning outcomes were assessed by means of pre- and post-intervention questionnaires and by interviews with some participants. 111 primary care professionals. Subjects showed significant improvements on all learning outcomes. The group with access to the course tutor alone completed more units and had greater improvements in their learning outcomes. More of this group completed the course and completed a portfolio. Respondents who could communicate with other members of the group did not find this a positive experience. The internet can be used to deliver learning in change management to primary care professionals. Access to a discussion forum did not improve, and possibly impaired learning. More work is needed on the mentoring of internet learning.
