A Building-Block Approach to Tele-healthcare Engineering Education

该项目正在编制一套远程保健学习材料和实验室模块，用于本科电气和计算机工程课程。这些材料被组织成五个项目-实验室树和十个主题-主题树，这些树是独立的，可以以任何顺序使用。新的实验材料涵盖的具体主题包括心脏监测、心理健康监测、医疗安全和远程医疗传输的设计项目。学习材料正在使用四维教学法开发，该教学法吸引具有不同学习偏好的学生，并允许异步交付。该项目包括严格的形成性和总结性评估计划，包括由经验丰富的独立评估人员协调的定性和定量组成部分。评估计划旨在确定材料的质量并确保项目目标的实现。项目成果正在通过会议和期刊出版物以及通过与其他四所拥有不同学生团体的高等教育机构的直接接触传播。在这个项目中开发的材料被放置在美国国家科学基金会赞助的国家科学数字图书馆。

This project is developing a set of learning materials and laboratory modules in tele-healthcare to be used in undergraduate electrical and computer engineering curricula. The materials are organized into five project-lab trees and ten topic-subject trees that are self-contained and that may be used in any order. Specific topics covered by the new laboratory materials include design project in cardiac monitoring, mental health monitoring, medical security and long-distance medical transmission. The learning materials are being developed using a four-dimensional pedagogy that engages students with different learning preferences and allows for asynchronous delivery. The project includes rigorous formative and summative evaluation plans with both qualitative and quantitative components coordinated by an experienced independent evaluator. The evaluation plan is designed to establish the quality of the materials and to ensure the project goals are met. The projects results are being disseminated through conferences and journal publications and through direct contact with four other institutions of higher education with diverse student bodies. The materials developed in this project are being placed in the NSF sponsored National Science Digital Library.
