Writing Multiple-Choice Questions for Higher-level Thinking by Mike Dickinson : Learnin... - 0 views

  •  
    "Don't overlook the value of higher-level multiple-choice questions for teaching. In areas where the target audience has some degree of prior knowledge, or where their life experience is relevant, I often make online courses denser by using multiple-choice exercises instead of the more traditional present-and-test format. This technique is also useful when there is room for judgment, or the preferred choice is conditional and you want the student to understand how different circumstances can affect the preferred action."

Standards of Care for the Health of Transsexual, Transgender, and Gender-Nonconforming ... - 1 views

    " The SOC are based on the best available science and expert professional consensus. Because most of the research and experience in this field comes from a North American and Western European perspective, adaptations of the SOC to other parts of the world are necessary. The SOC articulate standards of care while acknowledging the role of making informed choices and the value of harm reduction approaches. In addition, this version of the SOC recognizes that treatment for gender dysphoria i.e., discomfort or distress that is caused by a discrepancy between persons gender identity and that persons sex assigned at birth (and the associated gender role and/or primary and secondary sex characteristics) has become more individualized."

  • Radioisotope Scanning
  • radionuclide scans allow assessment of thyroid function.
  • Technetium pertechnetate (99mTc) is taken up rapidly by the normal activity of follicular cells. It is trapped by follicular cells, but not organified. 99mTc has a short half-life and low radiation dose. Its rapid absorption allows quick evaluation of increased uptake (so-called hot) or hypofunctioning (so-called cold) areas of the thyroid.
  • 123I and 131I iodine scintigraphy is also used to evaluate the functional status of the gland
  • Advantages of scanning with 123I include a low dose of radiation (30 mrad) and short half-life.
  • 123I is a good choice for evaluating suspected lingual thyroids or substernal goiters.
  • 131I has a longer half-life (8 days) and emits higher levels of β-radiation. 131I is optimal for imaging thyroid carcinoma.
  • screening modality of choice for the evaluation of distant metastasis.

Calculate your item banking needs using UKCDR tool (V1) - 0 views

  •  
    The requirements developed from across 8 different institutions in the original 2005-07 project are given here with tick boxes for departments, schools and institutions to select which aspects of item banking and associated functionality they feel are key to their own current or future processes. The tool will then give match information using the results of appraisal of 12 pieces of software, including some well known software companies e.g. Speedwell and QuestionMark, and some lesser known projects and companies such as TOIA and BTL. The original project was based heavily in medical undergraduate assessment. Note, a 2009 project is due to create and release information relevant to a V2 specification. The V2 will be more generic, building on the information brought forward for V1. UKCDR is a sister project to UMAP, a national collaborative project in the UK for core, applied assessment in undergraduate medicine.
