Collaborative Development and Application of Distributable, Internet Accessible, Interactive Medical Imaging Teaching Software and Dynamic Tracking System

本项目旨在为医学影像教育建立一种现代化的教学方法和互动学习环境。该项目正在开发医学影像教学软件（MITS）和基于互联网的交互式动态评估跟踪系统（DATS）；产生一个创新的评估模型，是迭代和帮助学生学习设计概念。该项目是由迈阿密大学（牵头）、佛罗里达大西洋大学、佛罗里达国际大学和迈阿密戴德学院共同努力的。这项工作包括四个具体任务：1)利用参与机构的努力完成MITS的开发；2)实现DATS作为在线评价数据库；3)采用嵌入式迭代评估设计框架，通过反思性综合反馈回路（对开发应用进行监控、指导和纠正）进行综合多层次评估；4)在地方、区域、全州乃至全国范围内的多层次传播。这些产品（MITS/DATS）直接影响到医学影像教育的提供，特别是对那些开始创建医学影像课程的人。这四所学校的合作确保了研究能够解决不同的学生群体、不同的班级规模和教学环境、不同的课程设置，涉及80多个相关课程，以及参与学生培训和教师发展活动的广泛社区。

This project is establishing a contemporary teaching method and interactive learning environment for use in medical image education. The project is developing medical imaging teaching software (MITS) and an interactive, internet-based, dynamic assessment tracking system (DATS); producing an innovative assessment model that is iterative and aids in student learning of design concepts. The project is a joint effort by University of Miami (lead), Florida Atlantic University, Florida International University, and Miami Dade College. The effort includes four specific tasks: 1) complete development of MITS utilizing efforts from participating institutions; 2) implementation of DATS as an online evaluation database; 3) comprehensive multi-level evaluations using the embedded iterative evaluation design framework, through reflective synthesis feedback loops (to monitor, direct and correct the development and application); and 4) multi-level dissemination in local, regional, state-wide, and national ranges. The products (MITS/DATS) are directly affecting the delivery of medical imaging education, particularly for those beginning to create medical imaging curricula. The four school collaboration is ensuring that the research is addressing diverse student populations, diverse class sizes and teaching environments, differing course settings involving more than 80 related courses, and a broad community engaged in student training and faculty development activities.
