DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goals of this proposed Phase 2 STTR project are to further develop and test the online distance learning system and courses that we developed in Phase 1 to teach health care professionals to provide low vision rehabilitation services. The first aim is to develop and test interactive online lectures. Online lectures will have hyperlinks in the slides that will jump to context-sensitive mini-tutorials for students who require more background information to understand the slide. Students also will be able to post questions to the instructor or make comments in the forum during the lecture. And, students will be able to type notes for each slide during the lecture that will be saved with a printable copy of the slide. Aim 2 is to develop and test interactive computer simulations of the components of low vision rehabilitation. In Phase 1 we developed a simulation of visual acuity testing and trial lens refraction. In Phase 2, we will develop simulations of kinetic visual field, Amslergrid, contrast sensitivity, reading ability, and color vision testing; taking the patient's history; mobility, eccentric viewing, and home environment ADL and safety evaluations; rehabilitation plan development; home adaptations for ADL and safety; and teaching patients eccentric viewing and how to use low vision devices. Aim 3 is to improve our current synchronous online case conference capability and to develop best practices for case conferences. Aims 4 and 5 are to develop and test interactive web video for synchronous online clinical observations where the students watch an instructor work with patients (Aim 4) and synchronous online clinical mentoring where the instructor supervises and guides the students who are working with patients (Aim 5). All testing will be done with volunteers recruited from among students taking the online low vision course developed in Phase 1.

描述(申请人提供)：这项拟议的第二阶段STTR项目的目标是进一步开发和测试我们在第一阶段开发的在线远程学习系统和课程，以教授医疗保健专业人员提供低视力康复服务。第一个目标是开发和测试互动式在线讲座。在线讲座将在幻灯片中有超链接，这些链接将跳转到上下文相关的迷你教程，供需要更多背景信息的学生理解幻灯片。学生还可以在讲课期间向讲师提出问题或在论坛上发表评论。此外，学生还可以在课堂上为每张幻灯片输入笔记，这些笔记将与幻灯片的可打印副本一起保存。目标2是开发和测试低视力康复组件的交互式计算机模拟。在第一阶段，我们开发了一个视力测试和试镜屈光的模拟。在第二阶段，我们将开发动态视野、Amslergrid、对比敏感度、阅读能力和色觉测试的模拟；记录患者的病史；移动性、偏心观看和家庭环境ADL和安全性评估；康复计划制定；ADL和安全的家庭适应；以及教授患者偏心观看和如何使用低视力设备。目标3是改进我们目前同步在线案例会议的能力，并制定案例会议的最佳做法。目标4和5是开发和测试用于同步在线临床观察的交互式网络视频(目标4)和同步在线临床指导(目标5)，其中学生观看讲师与患者一起工作(目标4)，讲师监督和指导与患者打交道的学生(目标5)。所有测试将在参加第一阶段开发的在线低视力课程的学生中招募志愿者进行。
