BACKGROUND: The past decade has witnessed the increasing adoption of Web 2.0
technologies in medical education. Recently, the notion of digital habitats, Web
2.0 supported learning environments, has also come onto the scene. While there
has been initial research on the use of digital habitats for educational
purposes, very limited research has examined the adoption of digital habitats by
medical students and educators on mobile devices. This paper reports the Stage 1
findings of a two-staged study. The whole study aimed to develop and implement a
personal digital habitat, namely digiMe, for medical students and educators at an
Australian university. The first stage, however, examined the types of Web 2.0
tools and mobile devices that are being used by potential digiMe users, and
reasons for their adoption. METHODS: In this first stage of research, data were
collected through a questionnaire and semi-structured interviews. Questionnaire
data collected from 104 participants were analysed using the Predictive Analytics
SoftWare (PASW). Frequencies, median and mean values were pursued. Kruskal Wallis
tests were then performed to examine variations between views of different
participant groups. Notes from the 6 interviews, together with responses to the
open-ended section of the questionnaire, were analysed using the constructivist
grounded theory approach, to generate key themes relevant to the adoption of Web
2.0 tools and mobile devices. RESULTS: The findings reflected the wide use of
mobile devices, including both smart phones and computing tablets, by medical
students and educators for learning, teaching and professional development
purposes. Among the 22 types of Web 2.0 tools investigated, less than half of
these tools were frequently used by the participants, this reflects the mismatch
between users' desires and their actual practice. Age and occupation appeared to
be the influential factors for their adoption. Easy access to information and
improved communication are main purposes. CONCLUSIONS: This paper highlights the
desire of medical students and educators for a more effective use of Web 2.0
technologies and mobile devices, and the observed mismatch between the desire and
their actual practice. It also recognises the critical role of medical education
institutions in facilitating this practice to respond to the mismatch.
