This pilot study assesses the perception by junior doctors of a pilot video lecture delivered online as part of their foundation training. The lecture used Chromakey technology to integrate the presenter, enabling increased levels of engagement and presentation quality compared with lecture notes or podcasts. The subjects reported the video lecture easy to learn from, helpful in time management, and an effective way of delivery. Several subjects found the lack of interaction with the lecturer problematic and the cohort was undecided as to whether they would prefer their whole induction to be delivered using e-learning.
