Abstract
Objective
The purpose of this study was to inventory the use of digital-skills and technology within 2 undergraduate chiropractic courses- the International Medical University (IMU) in Malaysia, and Teesside University (TU) in the United Kingdom.
Method
A staff member from each chiropractic course assessed the module descriptions of every module across the course and identified content related to digital-skills or technology. The data were entered into a spreadsheet for each course, and spreadsheets were compared to each author to identify similarities and differences. A second author verified the comparison.
Results
Both institutions utilized e-learning platforms for learning, teaching, and assessments methods. Educational videos and applications, online research data bases, force plates, and clinical management software were used in both curricula. Telehealth skills and a virtual clinical imaging database were both included at TU, and a radiography machine and statistical data program were included at IMU.
Conclusion
Technology in the form of e-learning platforms were included in 2 courses in different countries, particularly as it pertained to learning, teaching, and assessments.
