Author: Michelle Issing  | Posted: 11-10-2006 | Comments: 0 | Views: 161 | Rating: (52)  (?) 
The accurate and standardized collection of data plays a vital role in the success of a clinical trial. An important step in electronic clinical data management (eCDM) is electronic data capture (EDC).However, the success of EDC is dependent on how well-trained and knowledgeable the clinical research coordinators and associates are in the use of EDC. There are many options for training on an EDC solution printed materials, but these can quickly become out of date and the success is dependent on how the individual uses the material, classroom training, but this can be expensive to conduct or webcasts, which can be more cost effective to conduct, but participants can get lost in the large number of participants that webcast can have.
What other options are out there to offer good EDC training to your attendees? eLearning, or computer-based training, is a good option to incorporate into your overall training plan. It may not be best to completely replace classroom or other types of training with eLearning, but by allowing attendees to work at their own pace on their own time, eLearning can be a valuable learning experience. The perfect platform to conduct EDC training is an Investigator Meeting, where attendees can receive one on one attention while going through the training process at their own pace.
eLearning solutions are more efficient and are easy to use. Many options are web-based, meaning they don't require user to install anything on their own computers. This also means that the system can be accessed from any location via the internet or a CD. The content is easy to update and customized if a change comes along, the training administer just needs to update the content on the system. The need to print out additional content for training manuals is eliminated. eLearning solutions also saves the results of any and all electronic test that are taking. These record can be easily access to show exacting competency and compliance with 21 CFR Code 11.
