A Building-Block Approach to Tele-healthcare Engineering Education

该项目正在开发一套远程保健的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，它们是独立的，可以以任何顺序使用。 新实验室材料涵盖的具体主题包括心脏监测、精神健康监测、医疗安全和远程医疗传输的设计项目。 目前正在使用四维教学法编制学习材料，让有不同学习偏好的学生参与，并允许异步交付。 该项目包括严格的形成性和总结性评价计划，由一名经验丰富的独立评价员协调质量和数量两个组成部分。 评估计划旨在确定材料的质量，并确保达到项目目标。 项目成果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群体的高等教育机构的直接联系进行传播。 在这个项目中开发的材料被放置在NSF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.
