Social Media in Medical Education: What are the Burning Questions?

The 2011 Association for the Study of Medical Education (ASME) conference will take place in Edinburgh in July.

The conference organizers are asking all the right questions:

- Is a WordPress blog more useful than a Blackboard module?

- How social is social bookmarking?

- How can social media help medical education researchers?

- How can we manage and develop our own digital identity?
