Online Learning Modules for Cochrane Authors

This series of Online Learning Modules has been developed to provide an introduction to some of the core skills and methods required for new authors of Cochrane systematic reviews of interventions. The modules are intended to complement other learning opportunities such as face-to-face workshops and webinars, and the guidance provided in the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions.

The modules were developed by the UK Cochrane Centre in collaboration with the University of Portsmouth, and were partly funded by the Cochrane Opportunities Fund.

The following six introductory modules are currently available, with further modules to be added during 2011:

• Systematic reviews - an introduction
• Writing a Cochrane protocol
• Searching for studies for a Cochrane review
• Collecting data for a review
• Meta-analysis - an introduction
• Heterogeneity - an introduction
