Distance Learning Programs For Pathology Education, Bruce Fenderson, Anthony J. Frisby
Distance Learning Programs For Pathology Education, Bruce Fenderson, Anthony J. Frisby
Anthony J Frisby, PhD
In this article we describe the development of distance learning programs for pathology education at Thomas Jefferson University. Our first step was to create a one-credit computer lab for an existing graduate course (Pathologic Aspects of Disease, PA570). Students use this computer lab to review case studies, submit essays, and take weekly quizzes. A discussion board is used to publish student essays and provide a forum for class discussion. Examination scores and academic progress are reported online. Our second step was to add lectures to create a complete, three-credit distance learning course for pathology education. (Pathophysiology of Human Disease, NU570). …
Evaluation Of A Web-Based Research Course, Mary E. Bowen, Anthony J. Frisby
Evaluation Of A Web-Based Research Course, Mary E. Bowen, Anthony J. Frisby
Anthony J Frisby, PhD
A web-based research course for graduate nursing students was developed, implemented, and evaluated for academic and satisfactions outcomes. A collaborative paradigm was utilized in designing the course to increase successful attainment of the graduate nursing program’s goal of a complete online graduate nursing MSN program. This web-based research course with 24 enrolled students was compared to an identical classroom based research course with 20 enrolled students. Areas of evaluation were academic outcomes of overall numerical course grades, satisfaction with course scores, and qualitative data on satisfaction of course. Results of this descriptive exploratory study demonstrated no statistically significant differences between …

Using World-Wide-Web Technology For Pathology Education, Anthony J. Frisby, Bruce Fenderson, Christopher D. Braster, Rodney B. Murray
Anthony J Frisby, PhD
In this article, we describe the development of computer-based learning programs for pathology students at Jefferson Medical College. These programs are authored using HTML (HyperText Markup Language), and are available to students on campus and via the internet. Our computer-based learning resources include scheduling information, course goals and objectives, glossary of key words, self-assessment programs and image-based case studies. These educational programs are popular with the students. We recommend the use of World Wide Web technology to improve teaching and learning in pathology education.
Out Googling Google: Rethinking Library Instruction For Online Students, Melissa H. Koenig
Out Googling Google: Rethinking Library Instruction For Online Students, Melissa H. Koenig
Melissa Koenig
Providing students with library instruction greatly enhances their ability to produce quality research projects, but providing that instruction to students enrolled in online courses can be challenging. While the number of electronic resources available remotely for distance students continues to grow, there is evidence that students still need assistance and instruction on how to identify and evaluate resources for relevance to their own work. This best practice session will look at how DePaul University, with a growing number of online programs, is rethinking how library instruction is delivered to students at a distance.
