Presentation Abstract

Debating Three Pathways to LMS and Educational Technology Nirvana: Build Your Own, Open Source and off the Shelf

Confounded by the array of choices when it comes to selecting other technologies to support your continuing medical education? In this point/counterpoint session, three panelists will debate and discuss the pros and cons of three potential solutions: Build Your Own, Open Source, and Off the Shelf.
