FOAM

LIFTFL definiert FOAM sehr angemessen folgendermassen:

​

The term FOAM was coined in June 2012 in a pub in Dublin, over a pint of Guinness during ICEM 2012.

FOAM is a collection of resources, a community and an ethos. The FOAM community spontaneously emerged from the collection of constantly evolving, collaborative and interactive open access medical education resources being distributed on the web with one objective — to make the world a better place.
FOAM is independent of platform or media — it includes blogs, podcasts, tweets, online videos, text documents, photographs, Facebook groups, and a whole lot more.

FOAM should not be seen as a teaching philosophy or strategy, but rather as a globally accessible crowd-sourced educational adjunct providing inline (contextual) and offline (asynchronous) content to augment traditional educational principles. FOAM is the concept, #FOAMed is the hashtag.

Im Dschungel der unzähligen FOAM-Seiten kann man sich sehr einfach verlieren. Ich habe versucht nur die mir wichtigsten Seiten aufzuzählen.
