Abstract：
Introduction: There is a paucity of available training opportunities on the ethical, legal, and social issues (ELSI) of biobanking in South Africa and other low- and middle-income countries. For this purpose, an online short course was developed on the ELSI of biobanking practice. Study Aims and Objectives: This study aimed to review the short course to determine its relevance for identified stakeholders in biobanking practice in South Africa. Methods: This in-depth exploratory study was conducted using a qualitative approach. Two groups of volunteers were purposively identified for the review of the course. Group 1 (Biobanking group, n = 11) comprised researchers, biobankers, postgraduate students in biobanking research, and research ethics committee members. Group 2 (Curriculum group, n = 10) comprised academics with expertise in curriculum development and review who were invited to participate in the study. A separate online open-ended questionnaire was used to collect data from each group. Both questionnaires focused on the description of the module structure and coherence. In addition, participants in Group 2 were asked to comment on the assessment strategy used. Thematic analysis was conducted on the collected data. Summary of the Study Findings: The following themes were identified as strengths and shortcomings of the developed course and suggestions to improve both the content and delivery of the course. Participants were generally satisfied with the course design and structure. The module content was seen as being clear and aligned with the learning objectives. While the course structure was seen as easy to follow, some respondents did express difficulty in navigating through the modules while others experienced varying online technical problems. The general opinion was that the assessment strategy was consistent with the course aim and objectives. Conclusion: Study participants responded positively to this course and provided constructive criticism to improve the educational offering.
摘要：
简介：关于道德的培训机会很少，legal,以及南非和其他低收入和中等收入国家生物作业的社会问题(ELSI)。为此,在ELSI生物循环实践中开发了在线短期课程。研究目的和目标：本研究旨在审查短期课程，以确定其与南非生物样本实践中已确定的利益相关者的相关性。方法：采用定性方法进行了深入的探索性研究。有目的地确定了两组志愿者进行课程审查。第1组（Biobanking组，n=11)由研究人员组成，生物机器人，生物样本研究的研究生，和研究伦理委员会成员。第2组(课程组，n=10）由在课程开发和审查方面具有专业知识的学者组成，他们被邀请参加研究。使用单独的在线开放式问卷从每个组收集数据。两份问卷都侧重于模块结构和连贯性的描述。此外,第2组参与者被要求对所使用的评估策略进行评论.对收集的数据进行了专题分析。研究结果摘要：以下主题被确定为已开发课程的优点和缺点，并提出了改进课程内容和交付的建议。学员对课程设计和结构普遍满意。模块内容被认为是清晰的，并与学习目标保持一致。虽然课程结构被认为很容易遵循，一些受访者确实表示在浏览模块时很困难，而另一些受访者则遇到了各种在线技术问题。一般意见是，评估战略符合课程的目的和目标。结论：研究参与者对本课程的反应积极，并提供了建设性的批评，以改善教育提供。
