NVMO 2012 : the Dutch Medical Education Association Annual Meeting

The Dutch Medical Education Association had it's yearly event and it was my first time there!
I was there partly to present our experiences with the "iPads on Loan" -project of the CMB, UMCG in a joint-session with an Anatomy teacher (Peter Room) & medical student Rens Teeuwen.
(watch our three slide-sets)

Observation: there was hardly any knowledge about the excistence of Slideshare.net or Authorstream.com among the people I spoke to at the conference (mostly medical educators/teachers). I did not even start about the medicine focussed SLIDEWORLD.org, which is unluckily infested with adverts.
(It is not to be confused with Slideworld.COM, which pretends to be thé Search Engine for presentations.)

Here is my contribution (in Dutch):



I attended two interesting sessions worth mentioning:


  • "Augmented reality" in het medisch onderwijs. After a short clear intro into about what AR actually is and how it is used at the moment, we engaged in a couple of debates around key-issues. I hope to get my hands on the slides soon! Some pictures about their session are in this Flickr-set. They used the JUNAIO App to view a prepared AR-example on A4.

  • Werkgroep E-Learning about technology & blended learning with a nice historical overview and discussion on 4 scenario's mixed out of 4 elements: Local, Global, Individual & group learning.

Updates from Journal Apps (BrowZine, docwise, ReadbyQxMD, Docphin)

Here a short overview of all new updates around the Journal apps we are supporting. Personally I am most excited about the anouncements of " docwise " making big steps to keep up with BrowZine & Read (Integration -"Open in"- with Dropbox, Evernote and more, save and email full text articles), but making a hug jump with unique features, like shareable Folders with docwise users ánd a RSS reader feature (boldly called Google Reader replacement!). Bring it on! BrowZine : just published the Android Version of their App to which the CMB UMCG now has a subscription. To be downloaded from Google Play Store or Amazon App Store the following publishers have been added  Project MUSE Cambridge University Press American Marketing Association Academy of Management Royal Society of Chemistry Institute of Physics American Physical Society Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) American Geophysical Union International Society for Optics a...

PubMed Search & News Widget

OK, I think Toolbars are great for quick easy access to search databases, free or licensed databases. Users can use this jumpstart search to get to their preferred search engines direct from their browser window. But not everybody is allowed to install browser plugins or add-ons. To distribute the Toolbar functionality like the search & news options, I create derived widgets that can be used as a whole in many social networks , websites and intranet sites, everywhere where it is allowed to put up html. The PubMed Search & News Widget is the latest one. I just got confirmation from Widgetbox that they approved it. "Derived" in this case, means, the widget is using the PubMed Toolbar installed custom searches and the installed rss-feed of PubMed New & Noteworthy .

UPDATE:  Clarivate Analytics Acquires Research Startup Kopernio to Accelerate Pace of Scientific Innovation I am currently testing 4 browser extensions in Chrome that can help me find the PDF i need. They seem to be popping up like dandelions in the fields ;-) (Please read my post on ALL possible options to get to a PDF:  http://digicmb.blogspot.nl/2017/03/how-to-get-pdf-infographic.html ) Here is a first glance of what they do. For testing i used this article: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.2016.10.008   (not free or open access) Kopernio (previously  Canary Haz ( http://kopernio.com) Note this is a .com extension. This  new company  has been founded just 8 months ago. The Kopernio  extension was released just in March 2017. Currently the Kopernio button is in alpha-testing and so far it seems free. The previous name appeared to be a tribute to the #ICANHAZPDF movement (requesting pdf's via Twitter with this hashtag). ...
