Carnegie Mellon and Lumen Learning Announce EEP-Relevant Collaboration - - 0 views

  • pen Educational Resources (OER) because that's what they do, but there's nothing about RISE that only works with OER. As long as you have the right to modify the curricular materials you are working with—even if that means removing something proprietary and replacing it with something of your own making—then the RISE framework is potentially useful.
  • To achieve this, we propose the Resource Inspection, Selection, and Enhancement (RISE) Framework as a simple framework for using learning analytics to identify open educational resources that are good candidates for improvement efforts.
  • By utilizing this framework, designers can identify resources in their courses that are good candidates for additional improvement efforts.

  • RISE is designed to work with a certain type of common course design, where content and assessment items are both aligned to learning objectives.
  • aligning the course content and assessment questions with specific learning objectives
  • Everybody knows the mantra "correlation is not causation,
  • f we want educators to understand both the value and the limitations of working with data, then they need to have absolute clarity and consistency regarding what those analytics widgets are telling them.
  • This isn't about technology. It's about literacy.
  • They don't need to understand how to do the math, but they do need to understand what the math is doing
  • cloud-based educational research collaboration platform.
  • Lumen Learning is contributing the statistical programming package for RISE that will be imported into Tigris.

  • CMU is making massive declaration to the world about their seriousness regarding research collaboration.
  • Expect universities to begin adopting LearnSphere
  • With this kind of an ecosystem
  • learning outcome alignment of both content and assessment is critical to enabling the proposed framework.
  • Everybody who teaches with this kind of course design should regularly tune those courses in this way, as should everybody who builds courses that are designed this way.

    "Late last week, Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) and Lumen Learning jointly issued a press release announcing their collaboration on an effort to integrate the Lumen-developed RISE analytical framework for curricular materials improvement analysis into the toolkit that Carnegie Mellon announced it will be contributing via open licenses (and unveiling at the Empirical Educator Project (EEP) summit that they are hosting in May)."

  • Students will go to great lengths to hide from me what they don’t know.
  • I do that very intentionally at the beginning of the semester to signal: “I see you as a human being. I’m paying attention to what you say to me. You are a unique individual with skills and ideas that matter.”
  • That’s important, because a lot of students have told me that no one’s ever actually read what they wrote. What they mean by that is that their writing has been graded, but it’s never been read.
  • Then, at the end of the semester, I give them the introduction letter back. And the final exam is an essay where they have to reflect on their portfolio: all of the written pieces they produced in the course of the semester.
  • they’re not used to measuring it in terms of actual skills and knowledge. They're always stunned at how far they’ve come.
  • The students have been so used to having their grammar criticized that they over-censor themselves when they’re writing.
  • The message was always, “When you go to college.” It was always, “You can do it.
  • “You get educated for the benefit of the community and the race.”
  • Today we have wasted a generation, telling young people that the primary reason to pursue education is to get into a well-paying career. In rural or economically depressed areas like Delta, looking at education chiefly as a path to social mobility—rather than a path to full citizenship, one’s sense of agency and freedom—can actually depress achievement and increase hopelessness.

  • By attaching the dreams and aspirations of African American students to a higher good, their expectations are infused with a meaningful purpose.
  • For a lot of the kids now, school is just drudgery from beginning to end—particularly schools that serve poor Black students. There’s no music curriculum, no arts curriculum, no vocational classes.
  • They congratulated me, because I was going to Washington, D.C., to receive the award. These women had taken up money among themselves, put it in a handkerchief, tied it, and handed it to me, as a way to celebrate that I was going to see the president—and represent Black people in a society that questions Black intelligence. I cried. They cried. It was the most touching thing.
  • I am a reflection of the accumulated wisdom these teachers passed on to me. All of these great teachers who had preceded me, who taught in segregated schools under horrible conditions, with no equal pay.

The Need for a Serious Illness Digital Ecosystem (SIDE) to Improve Outcomes for Patient... - 0 views

  •  
    Recommended by DeAunne Denmark MD PhD: Serious Illness Digital Ecosystem (SIDE) is the intentional aggregation of disparate digital and mobile health technologies into a single system that connects all of the actors involved in serious illness patient care. The 5 pillars of a SIDE are: Identification, Education, Engagement, Service Delivery, and Remote Monitoring. To me, this is just a preliminary and pragmatic first step(s). It also misses or misrepresents large care gaps, e.g. framing as the need for education/engagement of patients vs directing to physicians/providers. That said, I think there are still some useful constructs for us here for digital infrastructure.

ASMscience | Building Research Integrity and Capacity (BRIC): An Educational Initiative... - 0 views

  •  
    "While citizen science is gaining attention of late, for those of us involved in community-based public health research, community/citizen involvement in research has steadily increased over the past 50 years. Community Health Workers (CHWs), also known as Promotores de Salud in the Latino community, are critical to reaching underserved populations, where health disparities are more prevalent. CHWs/Promotores provide health education and services and may also assist with the development and implementation of community- and clinic-based research studies. Recognizing that CHWs typically have no formal academic training in research design or methods, and considering that rigor in research is critical to obtaining meaningful results, we designed instruction to fill this gap. We call this educational initiative "Building Research Integrity and Capacity" or BRIC. The BRIC training consists of eight modules that can be administered as a self-paced training or incorporated into in-person, professional development geared to a specific health intervention study. While we initially designed this culturally-grounded, applied ethics training for Latino/Hispanic community research facilitators, BRIC training modules have been adapted for and tested with non-Latino novice research facilitators. This paper describes the BRIC core content and instructional design process."

    "Palliative care is an interprofessional specialty focused on symptom management, quality of life, and relief of distress for patients who are living with serious illness and their families. The UCSF Interprofessional Palliative Care Continuing Education Course (Practice-PC) was created in 2015 to address a workforce shortage that is a key limiting factor in the dissemination of palliative care."

  • older, less educated, non-white or whose first language is not English report even greater benefits than do their counterparts
  • we suggest that open notes may, over time, prove important in the care of patients who are at risk of experiencing healthcare disparities.
  • ...16 more annotations...
  • in the USA, the likelihood of receiving an access code to activate health portals is significantly lower for minorities, the uninsured, non-English speakers and older patients.11
  • Research suggests that negative implicit biases can affect the quality of health interactions and are associated with fewer signals of support and empathy towards patients representing some disadvantaged demographic groups, including racial and ethnic minorities, low-income, less educated and older patients.1
  • Open notes might be viewed as extending the visit, potentially thereby elongating and strengthening patient–physician interactions before and after the pressures of the clinical encounter.
  • investigators found that patients who were non-white or less educated reported more benefits than their counterparts:
  • Although some health organisations provide portals in a range of languages, clinical notes are typically offered in one language only.
  • access to open notes appears to help some patients who speak another primary language by allowing them, or a care partner, to read and recall information.
  • 77% (357/462) reported reading their notes as extremely important for remembering their care plan,
  • It is estimated that, on average, patients do not recall about half of the health information communicated during visits, with this figure likely higher among those with lower levels of health literacy.2
  • health literacy is now recognised as a driver of health disparities.
  • By offering patients access to records that document what was discussed during visits, open notes may provide a novel forum for augmenting health literacy among some patients.
  • As one patient noted: “I like my summaries because I can go back and revisit them”.1
  • in a large study of patients who read notes, 38% (8588/22 753) reported sharing them with others, predominantly family members
  • Limitations
  • Open notes are becoming increasingly common, and preliminary data suggest they may hold particular benefits for vulnerable patient populations
  • Second, as preliminary evidence suggests, it is possible that open notes may increase trust between patients and clinicians, reduce transmission of bias and increase patient engagement, especially among vulnerable patient populations
  • co-creation of medical notes holds promise and is currently under investigation

The n-of-1 clinical trial: the ultimate strategy for individualizing medicine? - 0 views

  •  
    "N-of-1 or single subject clinical trials consider an individual patient as the sole unit of observation in a study investigating the efficacy or side-effect profiles of different interventions. The ultimate goal of an n-of-1 trial is to determine the optimal or best intervention for an individual patient using objective data-driven criteria. Such trials can leverage study design and statistical techniques associated with standard population-based clinical trials, including randomization, washout and crossover periods, as well as placebo controls. Despite their obvious appeal and wide use in educational settings, n-of-1 trials have been used sparingly in medical and general clinical settings. We briefly review the history, motivation and design of n-of-1 trials and emphasize the great utility of modern wireless medical monitoring devices in their execution. We ultimately argue that n-of-1 trials demand serious attention among the health research and clinical care communities given the contemporary focus on individualized medicine. Keywords: clinical equipoise, early-phase trials, individualized medicine, n-of-1, remote phenotyping, single patient trial, treatment repositioning, wireless health"
