Devaji is a philosopher at heart and a medical doctor by profession. As such I am sure Devaji that if you set up mLearning courses, they will be empowering. At the same time radio transmissions offer a great, non-reading, durable way of getting knowledge (continued medical education) distributed to large crowds in a less expensive way, and radio is a mobile device. Years ago I met Devaji Patil in Bangalore, India and … I related to his spirit and wisdom. think this is due to lack of durable, educational vision. with rapidly changing technology. Does pedagogy change too ?

wonderful game could be to get people into a contest at the beginning of a course. If you ask them to use some of the tools that will be used during the game, it allows them to get the basic digital skills that will be used during the course. If you play the game at the beginning of a learning experience, it is medically proven that the game will produce chemicals in your brain opening the minds for easier learning. Of course the setting can be different then the real environment, but the rules must be the same. keep a function for those loosing the game.

At ITM we are looking for an online course tutor and developer to tutor a course called eSCART and collaboratively built future online courses as well. The Institute of Tropical Medicine in Antwerpen, Belgium is looking for an online course tutor/developer to start working at the department of Clinical Sciences, in the Unit Infectious Diseases. Thee Unit Infectious Diseases is organizing di fferent courses some of which are developed as e-learning courses. position has opened for a course organizer to manage the interactions between all stakeholders.

this simple motivational sentence was launched at the MobiMOOC course. The MobiMOOC course is in its fourth week and discussions and exchanges of ideas keep on going. This week’s facilitator of the course is David Metcalf from MetilLab in California, US.

In the Big Question launched by Tony Karrer this month , he wonders how we use Text-to-Speech (TTS) in our courses? Tony Karer and Joel Harband (from Tuval software) got together and wrote up three posts on embedding Text-To-Speech in your eLearning courses. If you have not used TTS in your courses yet, have a look. If you have gone through these three posts, you really know how to embed TTS in your eLearning courses (e.g. But Tony's Big Question of this month is: when do you use TTS in your courses? So if anyone wants to listen to it, they can.

For the learning bonus: use it in a real time classroom or online course: it will allow you to immediately tailor your presentation, depending on the real-time feedback of your surveys.

The human-to-human interactions might be of interest to psychology, sales, medical or other learning settings where human interactions can be illustrated as ‘best practice’ or completely ‘not done’ scripts (if you cut an artery, this is what happens.), adding examples to support the theoretical manuals already available in the courses. If you only have a limited budget, but you do have a need to build scenarios that show human-to-human communication, this might be a good software to use.

Of course, learners also love the flexibility m-learning provides.  Now students can take custom e-learning courses right from laptops, iPhones, Blackberries, tablet PCs, and  iPads, meaning they can take it with them.  eLearning professionals must keep the limitations of screen size and keyboard accessibility in mind when creating new or reworking custom e-learning courses for mobile applications.  Of course, they can also create all new custom m-learning materials as well.  Comments Tags: Custom , eLearning , mLearning.

There are of course North/South initiatives, but a lot of the initiatives are South/South eLearning projects that are build and implemented in Africa. Carlos Kiyan and Luis Fucay on " mLearning for Continuing Medical Education in Resource-Limited Settings. eLearning Africa 2010 eLearning Africa is a highlight in my conference year. The conference brings together people with innovative ideas that make a difference in Africa, but also in the global eLearning world. The workshop will allow the participants to get to teh core of the education versus technology dilemma.

It has fully online courses and they are now in the midst of envisioning the future of their educational approach. She and her colleagues offer online nurse courses, but they (and my medical colleagues) have a problem: how do you monitor and assess skills? KATHO is one of the leading Flemish higher education institutes. This educational institution has a fabulous extra: they have a complete cell of 'toegepaste informatica' enabling other cells and departments to form collaborations on eLearning projects. It was an honor to be invited to speak for this great institution.

Focusing on a winning article by medical colleague Rafael Van den Bergh (PhD student at the Institute of Tropical Medicine in Antwerp and VUB), I will focus on the ethical part of innovation for eLearning projects. While I was following a course on international issues in distance education at Athabasca University, the discussion on 'innovative projects' was already touched by a couple of students and Barbara Spronk who facilitated and moderated the course. It was an informal discussion that grew into one of the most interesting one's I had during the course.

This combination of factors can result in courses that are not always accessible to all. One of the key issues in HIV/AIDS is sexuality and as such the content of the delivered courses might be perceived as sexually explicit. If you deliver content with these keywords but in a medical platform, it is much easier to keep in touch with the relevance of those keywords to the content. But if you add social media to your courses as an added bonus or place for discussion, it might be much more difficult to keep the link between relevant content and those keywords clear for all.

The project uses mobile devices (N95 and iPhone) to send mobile courses to medical workers in the field (in and around Lima). This year's eLearning Africa Conference will be held in Dakar, Senegal. It promises to be a great event with a lot of creative, empowering demonstrations and presentations. During the conference I will try to live blog ( some live blogging tips from others )/tweet as I am watching the different presentations, keynotes and workshops. will attend mostly mLearning topics. So join this session if you want to get active and learn effective evaluation.

Of course, by reducing friction in this way, we can really get the Snowflake Effect to work to its full effect: in many cases, we can anticipate what the learner or teacher will want and make it available at the relevant time.

Try it for yourself and learn : if you have never developed an eLearning course: follow at least one full online course and if possible with a renowned institution or company. While following an online course, keep track of your thoughts, ideas and learning processes. This will come in handy once you start developing your own courses. Clearly indicate your learning objectives : learning objectives are at the core of the activities of your eLearning course. If you develop your own course, you will be able to keep it updated. would add to no.3:

1 - Mathew Constantine , IE Business School (0m.30s) talks about using mobile phones to deliver market simulations and learning nuggets to students on business courses. During the last Online Educa Berlin, podcasts were recorded all through the conference. In one of them you can hear a bit of what we (= the eLearning team) does at the Institute of Tropical Medicine in Antwerp, Belgium. But what is really interesting to hear is the podcast part of Michael Wesch. This is the link to the mp3-version (19 min in total). For the complete podcast with time, click here.

Today I proudly post our (= ITM's) final report on the pilot course of our newly build full online course: eSCART2008. did write about the subject while the course was under construction, in that post I focused on the pre-survey we gave the learners. In a couple of weeks ITM starts another eLearning course for health care workers in the field specializing in ART (AntiRetroviral Therapy). The response for this course was overwhelming and we were booked immediately. To offer an eLearning course is very work intense.

This list of Electronic Health Care/Medical Libraries on the Internet was inserted into Articulate Engage by Carlos Kiyan and is almost 13MB. It allows you to insert different media, which of-course increases or decreases the volume of the generated swf. This list of medical libraries was made to make it easier for the students to find relevant medical resources. This list is used in our online course of eSCART (Short Course in AntiRetroviral Therapy) which is currently successfully being taken by a group of international students.

choose to start from the concerns people in INAS had to build an informal presentation build on Q&A and nourished with examples from medical courses and methods we have build at ITM which were running on my computer. By running the examples on my computer without having to connect I could assure the participants that sending a CDRom with the courses on them would be an option for low connected areas. Are learning results the same for face-2-face courses and TELearning courses? If the remote areas would have access to a computer with CDRom, that is.

They need to reach out to 45000 health care workers of different levels (medical doctors, nurses, health care workers, trainers in the different clinics…) and they only have limited resources. INAS did a survey amongst their learners to see whether their learners were eager to start eLearning courses and they were. Some autonomy would be needed so the system administrator can get all the students logged in and organize all the courses. ITM has a lot of South partners with whom we have what we call institutional collaborations. I am the wrinkly dressed one

Providing e-courses to post-graduate medical students in the field (= international and in low resource areas working on tropical diseases). At this point I got a new job which was starting up an eLearning course and building a future strategy for learning. Social media is of course all about commenting and collaborating. Karyn Romeis is working on a dissertation exploring the impact of the use of social media on the professional practice of learning professionals. Karyn would like to know your story as well, so add to her blogpost. This was a closed blog (shy).

In a couple of weeks ITM starts another eLearning course for health care workers in the field specializing in ART (AntiRetroviral Therapy). The response for this course was overwhelming and we were booked immediately. We redesigned the face-2-face course so it meets eLearning Quality standards. The coordinator of this medical eLearning course (and main tutor) is Verena Renggli who will have a heavy task in front of her. It will provide us with some background information which we need for the ongoing optimizing of this course. Please take 10 min.

At this moment RAFT is a French forum focusing on Telemedicine and courses build to access in low resource settings. RAFT has weekly medical courses open to all, with a real gift for medicine. They have been providing free medical courses from as early as 2003. At ITM we have a telemedicine website which focuses on HIV/AIDS medical care and it is growing through the roof. In the near future ITM will be involved in a cooperation with the soon-to-be-build English RAFT.

The software now allows courses to be designed specifically for the Sony PSP Slim & Lite. The courses can be deployed locally (from the Memory Stick Duo) or from the Internet, giving users a true mobile learning experience. Mike Alcock explains, "The traditional problem with courses on the PSP is that they’ve never been designed for the smaller screen and are often shrunken versions of courses designed for viewing on PC screens. Quizzes, games, activities, audio, video and Flash animations are all supported, giving users the richest possible course experience."

While this statement had students in mind, in this day and age it is pivotal to every learner and of course every knowledge worker. Most of the courses at ITM are courses that stimulate peer-to-peer revision and participation. Some of the courses are built from a student demand upwards and communication is stimulated so a collaborative intelligence can emerge. The students however sometimes ask for manuals, they insist on downloading them, even if they now that the medical field is an ever changing field of knowledge. And while Web2.0 Norman.

There are a lot of OER out there, just to list a few: OER commons ; the European initiative SELF the olcos project ; The MIT open courseware which I like a lot :-) a great open source resource for software engineeering: AVOIR ; A great and more international initiative is RAFT , a Swiss initiative that provides distance continual medical education courses from French speaking developing countries to whoever wants to follow them. They also have a blog that keeps everyone updated on coming courses. It is a really huge initiative that has been growing since 2003.

The audience were ten medical doctors who want to start a telemedicine website/project in low resource settings. Because of the constructivistic method we had some space to make the course up as we went along, based on the immediate feedback of the learners. This day was filled with lectures that I had to give. In the morning I gave a joined lecture on mobile learning and structuring eLearning content. Most of them have a Local Area Network in which they can distribute learning materials or surveys etcetera. the lecture was based on a constructivist method. did as well.
