Abstract

This paper details the development and implementation of Yonsei Medical E-Learning System 3.0 (YES 3.0), a new learning management system (LMS) for Yonsei University College of Medicine. Driven by the need to adapt to a rapidly changing medical education landscape, YES 3.0 addresses the previous system’s limitations and incorporates advanced features designed to improve learning experiences and educational outcomes. The development process involved extensive collaboration among faculty, students, staff, and the system developer, ensuring the system's alignment with the unique needs of the medical education environment. YES 3.0 features real-time monitoring of learning progress, comprehensive evaluation and grade management, personalized learning path recommendations, effective learner history management, and interview/guidance management functionalities. The system also supports the newly revised CDP2023 (Curriculum Development Project 2023) curriculum, with integrated learning across all courses and a strengthened scholarly advanced course. By automating and streamlining various educational processes, YES 3.0 enables maximized learning efficiency, promotes learner-centered education, and supports the cultivation of future medical professionals equipped to navigate the evolving healthcare environment. Implementing the system is expected to have positive impacts on both educational and economic aspects, contributing to the advancement of medical education at Yonsei University College of Medicine. This study also aims to offer insights and expected outcomes that can serve as a reference for other medical schools in adopting and operating LMS, ultimately providing useful information to educators considering establishing a digital learning environment.
