Chapter 28

Informatics Tools for Educating Health

Professionals

Introduction

Benefit of advancing technology on healthcare education:

Allows more flexibility in time and location.

Drawback of advancing technology on healthcare education:

High-level learning is difficult to instill from a distance.

Tools

Hardware

Interactive White Board

eReaders and digital books

Smartphones

Tablets

Laptop and desktop computer

Clickers

Increasing prevalence among students. Need to take advantage of this by faculty. Limitations and advantages of each should be discussed.

Software

Learning management systems

Proprietary: Blackboard

Open sources: Moodle, Joomla

Mind maps

Digital portfolio

Online and web-based testing

Student journaling

Gaming

Virtual worlds

Academic executive information systems (AEIS)

Most likely greatest impact on faculty. Utilized a lot of times for online courses but may be considered ’adjunct’ for more traditional brick & mortar instruction. Proprietary/BB – all in one type of packages. Need $ investment along with technical support to make work. Open source - $ investment is behind the scenes. Need technical support to implement, administer, and maintain this genre of CMSs. Access is easy for these in terms of obtaining the software. Running it may actually be more costly in terms of the above-mentioned terms than proprietary software.

Information Systems and Technical Tools (Cont.)

Benefits

Cost

Support (technical and otherwise)

Usefulness

Adult learning

Learning styles

How is cost both a barrier and a benefit?

Impact on Teaching Learning Process

Faculty and teacher as facilitator

Digital divide?

Information systems and technical tools effect on the faculty role

Collaboration

Time spent on teaching

Faculty evaluation

Impact on tenure process

Definition: Broad

Research, service, teaching

Example: Publication role and impact

How is this role different in the online environment versus brick & mortar?

Is there really a digital divide not only among students but also in faculty?

Examples of Gardner’s Nine Multiple Intelligences

Develop podcasts, wikis, or blogs for the expressive linguistic learner.

Play online strategy games, and search databases for information or graphics packages for the logical-mathematical learner.

Create a digital story, develop a digital art project, or create a concept map for the visually creative spatial learner.

Examples of Gardner’s Nine Multiple Intelligences (Cont.)

Play with software programs to write and create music; create a music video or podcast for the auditory musical learner.

Experiment with simulation, virtual field trips, and virtual role-playing games for the bodily-kinesthetic learner.

Expound on discussion boards, and develop imbedded audio and video PowerPoint presentations for online class introductions for the interpersonal learner.

Examples of Gardner’s Nine Multiple Intelligences (Cont.)

Write a blog, and develop online survey tools; encourage independent exploration of any of the aforementioned activities for the intrapersonal learner.

Develop photographic journals, and use mapping and graphic organizing software for the naturalistic learner.

Use web research, presentation applications, email, and chat to encourage the big picture thinkers who question, analyze, and figure out why things work for the existentialist learners.

Come up with some additional examples

Conclusion and Future Directions

Review hardware and software content covered in this chapter.

Briefly discuss common points.

Discuss change.

Many tools are available.

Technology is here to stay.

Stress that not everything has been covered. Stress, too, the constant change in the technological tools for students and faculty. A brief overview of important points related to hardware, software, and the academic impact on faculty has been offered for your approval. The interaction of each of these is not doubted. How the interaction will change over time, though, remains to be seen.

Conclusion and Future Directions (Cont.)

Future possibilities and directions?

Instruction outside the traditional brick-and-mortar institutions

No physical or time constraints on education
