SUMMARY:Biomedical Informatics\: In-house tool development for skill building and problem solving.
DTSTART:20051025T180000Z
DTEND:20051025T193000Z
DESCRIPTION:Presenter\: Jared Danielson Instructional Design and Evalu
 ation Biomedical Informatics Research Group Department of Veterinary P
 athology <br><br>Co-Presenters\: Vanessa Preast\, Rick Mills\, Pamela 
 Vermeer\, Holly Bender \n\n<br><br>Two computer-based instructional pr
 oducts that have been produced by the Biomedical Informatics Research 
 Group (BIRG) at the College of Veterinary Medicine will be presented. 
 One of these products is designed to teach medical diagnostic problem 
 solving - a very complex and difficult diagnostic process that can cha
 llenge both novices and practicing clinicians. The second software too
 l is designed to teach veterinary students how to make blood smears - 
 a simple psychomotor task that similarly can prove challenging to both
  novices and practitioners. In both cases\, empirical and qualitative 
 studies demonstrated that these computer-based tools produced better l
 earning outcomes than similar alternative teaching/learning approaches
 . Each tool will be demonstrated and described in terms of the theoret
 ical ideas relevant to addressing specific learning needs. Evaluation 
 processes and results also will be discussed.
