Digital Innovations in Healthcare Education and Training discusses and debates the contemporary knowledge on the evolution of digital education, learning and the web and its integration and role within modern healthcare education and training. The book encompasses topics such as healthcare and medical education theories and methodologies, social learning as a formal and informal digital innovation, and the role of semantics in digital education. In addition, it examines how simulation, serious games, and virtual patients change learnings in healthcare, and how learning analytics and big data in healthcare education leads to personalized learning.

Online pedagogy principles and applications, participatory educational design and educational technology as health intervention are bridged together to complement this collaborative effort. This book is a valuable resource for a broad audience, both technical and non-technical, including healthcare and medical tutors, health professionals, clinicians, web scientists, engineers, computer scientists and any other relevant professional interested in using and creating digital innovations for healthcare education and training.
