The instructional design of the new case-based e-learning module at Level 2. (A) The introduction of each case-based e-learning course includes a user guide, introduces the learning objectives according to the ILAE curriculum, recognizes the author and ILAE experts involved in content development (see (D), and provides an audio recording summarizing the case highlights and challenges. (B) The modular design of microlearnings addresses Semiology (Module 1), EEG (Module 2), Etiology (Module 3), Treatment (Module 4), and Counseling (Module 5). The learner has to pass a short test with multiple choice questions to access the next module. (C) Each course provides an online EEG reader which can be interactively used by the learner to review the patient’s EEG and recognize specific grapho-elements (pending the specific task given). Each successfully accomplished course will provide the learner with CME credits.
