Well...my frustration level with this task is sky high...having created a new blog as the course blog is not working I have just composed and lost a posting about the case studies.
I will attempt to rewrite but may have lost a lot of my enthusiasm.....
I chose case studies connected with the medical field as at my home institution we run an online nursing degree program. The program was developed a few years ago and I am aware that there are many new technologies (web 2.0) that might enhance the program by improving interactivity, providing more collaborative and reflective evaluation, and adding more challenging case scenarios.
Consequently I chose two case studies using e-portfolios, one on online assessment, and one about using Labyrinth - an authoring tool for creating virtual patient case scenarios. I am hoping to learn more about these tools and how they might be useful in my own context. On first reading the amount of investment required in time and resources suggests that I should be looking at implementing only one of these tools at a time!

It's been frustrating for sure :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the case studies.
I am awaiting your blog on e portfolios and assessment as I did one on e portfolios in Teacher Education. Plus I have had a look at e assessment in Medicine. It seems to me that although they are not new innovations they are current tools which if well incorporated into the strategic plan of the organisation and followed right through to the end user, with a feedback loop, they tend to be more successful. I will wait to here from you as I have really enjoyed reading your comments on the forum. anna
