Evaluating Touch Pad Technology
Robert J. Gagnon, MSc
Robert Thivierge, MD
A b s t r a c t
An instrument was developed to evaluate the possible impact of the use of touch
pad technology. A group of 255 respondents expressed very positive evaluation on several
aspects: interaction, participation, self-evaluation, immediate feedback, and active role of
participants. Less important aspects were associated with impact on learning, practice, and
fulfillment of learning needs. This study confirms the usefulness of touch pad technology in
the context of continuing medical education (CME) activities and provides some interesting
research questions.
