LiveCarta for Ophthalmology
Create the most relevant training and continuing education curriculum for today’s ophthalmology practitioners with leading-edge digital solutions from LiveCarta. Assemble your learning materials with the most dynamic content from industry-leading authors and publishers.
Embracing the digital shift
Ophthalmic educators have been quick to embrace the potential of educational technology (EdTech) and were in good position to pivot to digital learning programs as the COVID-19 pandemic reduced opportunities for face-to-face instruction.
Graduate, clinical and professional learning strategies developed by ophthalmology leaders over the last few years migrated to web-based lessons, digital alternatives to traditional case studies and grand rounds, video instruction and live streaming lectures with interactive content. As one of the most progressive medical disciplines to stress competency-based curricula, the overnight shift to digital learning techniques has jumpstarted a new wave of remote learning innovation within the sector. For all but the most practical surgical training, the content delivery methods for graduate students, residents and fellows have changed forever.
Tailor your Learning Content with LiveCarta
LiveCarta is disrupting the educational technology sector with a solution that enables course creators and instructional designers to mix-and-match the most relevant clinical content in real time. For the Ophthalmic community, our LiveCarta Digital CoursePack Builder software delivers unprecedented flexibility to combine any or all chapters from a leading textbook, and supplement those materials with additional texts, open-source materials, and your own time-tested content. Users can save, reorder and remix content to deliver fully tailored collections. Content from the intelligent LiveCarta Catalog is royalty- and copyright-managed automatically.
LiveCarta has partnered with SLACK Books to empower those who are entrusted to create professional learning content, whether for graduate students, residents or for continuing education programs to refresh the knowledgebase of experienced MDs.
