Are you using mind mapping and reference management tools such as Mind Manager, FreeMind, JabRef, Endnote, or Zotero? And do you sometimes even make use of the bookmark functionality in your PDF Reader? Then you should have a look at FreeMind Scholar because FreeMind Scholar aims to integrate mind mapping with reference and pdf management.

Reference management tool might help you to write scholarly articles.

Zotero [zoh-TAIR-oh] is a free, easy-to-use Firefox extension to help you collect, manage, and cite your research sources. It lives right where you do your work-in the web browser itself. Works like CiteULike

Many faculty use EndNote... but did you know about Zotero or CiteULike? These tools might offer more features for you and your students.

This is a great resource. i just sent it out to my graduate students. Some of the critical care journals require MLA style and we have been looking for a software that can help us manage references. I was delighted to see all of the different reference styles supported by some of the software.

"The California Healthcare Foundation has released a new whitepaper, How Smartphones Are Changing Health Care for Consumers and Providers, authored by Jane Sarasohn-Kahn. Key findings include: * Two thirds of physicians used a smart phone in 2009 * 6% of physicians were using an electronic medical records system * 42% of Americans use smartphones * Top uses of smartphones for consumers include: medication adherence, home monitoring, fitness apps, managing chronic conditions"

"Claroline is an Open Source eLearning and eWorking platform allowing teachers to build effective online courses and to manage learning and collaborative activities on the web."

This is an open source LMS, which could be compared to MOODLE

After a quick review, i would say this open source is much more friendly than Moodle and feels more like you are in a microsoft application...definitely worth use

Various factors, including the fact that in fast-paced, acute care settings, students have little time to reflect on a client's situation and provide appropriate and thoughtful nursing interventions, led our faculty to develop real-life, real-time scenarios for a simulated clinical setting. Senior students studying Complex Illness and Disease Management are assigned to 15 weeks of eight-hour clinicals in an acute care setting. Now, three sessions with a high-fidelity simulation (HFS) manikin are spaced throughout the semester. The eight-hour authentic clinical scenario mimics the entire hospitalization experience, from admission to discharge of a client. The scenario is designed to enhance students' critical thinking skills and promote confidence and comfort in the clinical arena. While skills lab use of HFS focuses primarily on learning skills and tasks, the simulation clinical focuses on solving problems, teamwork, understanding complex disease processes, decision making, and critical thinking. A focus on tasks and skills is one component of the scenario, but only in relation to caring for the client.

Details nurse educators experience creating high fidelity simulation experiences for a nursing students. Headings include: Project development, simulation clinical experience, and outcomes.

The featured Innovations describe two programs that delivered patient-centered care to vulnerable populations, thereby improving the patient experience and enhancing access to appropriate care. The featured QualityTools provide clinicians and other stakeholders with resource guides that support a patient-centered approach to medication management.

This guide, for hospital administrators and emergency department leaders, provides step-by-step instructions for planning and implementing patient flow improvement strategies to ease emergency department crowding.

I thought some of the 11 strategies were overlapped with our online teaching guides.

This video (created by Claudia Kimbrough) shows the use of Second Life in two College of Management courses. This innovative teaching and learning environment is a part of NC State University's LITRE (Learning in a Technology Rich Environment) program and a part of VOLT: Virtual Online Learning and Teaching, a comprehensive, collaborative project on online learning led by Len Annetta.

Springer publishing supports online sharing of citations.

You got it exactly right, Linda. CiteULike for referencing / citations and Diigo for websites. The concept is similar: People sharing resources which helps to discover trends and eliminate redundancy. EndNote (a supported tool at DUKE), CiteUlike, and Zotero (http://www.zotero.org/) fall into citation management and sharing. Delicious and Diigo can be categorized as website sharing. It would be great if BOTH these ways to share caught on and were used in our schools. But, how would we prove they were effective?

Linda! That sounds really neat, I'd be interested in hearing more about your EndNote/CiteULike class assignment. Could be a great Featured Tool scenario! Neat stuff.
