I recently performed an online semi-structured online questionnaire survey of 3000 medical students and 3000 qualified medical practitioners (consultants, general practitioners and doctors in training) on the British Medical Association’s membership database. All groups had high familiarity, but low use, of podcasts. Ownership of digital media players was higher among medical students. There was high familiarity, but low use, of other Web 2.0 technologies except for high use of instant messaging and social networking by medical students. All groups stated that they were interested in using Web 2.0 technologies for education but there was lack of knowledge and skills in how to use these new technologies. The free text comments J Sandars, S Schroter Postgrad Med J. 2007 83 759-62 18057175 (P,S,E,B,D) Web 2.0 technologies for undergraduate and postgraduate medical education: an online survey. I think we seriously need to consider developing a training package on "digital literacy" - how to inform and develop the skills to use (and teach) with Web 2.0 technologies. This package should be part of IT induction for students and staff. Value comments Best wishes John Hi all
