Information design as the basic axis of a model to plan digital educational experiences in medicine

Abstract

The disciplinary principles of information design can expand the possibilities of the educational experience in medical teaching. This article shows evidence of a research project in which three different areas intervene: Medicine, Education, and Design; the project is focused and harnessed through the intervention of ideas and practices that prevail in information design, with the use of center-user methods such as the Delphi technique, it was possible to approach the creation of an original instructional model that serves as a guide for medical teachers to design digital materials with the purpose of fostering clinical reasoning in undergraduate students. The intervention of information design that acts as a guiding axis in decision-making and as an integrating force of the conceptual and creative processes, is capable of coordinating and integrating the different perspectives of these three areas of knowledge.
