This document summarizes the transformation of a Research Methods module at the master's level to incorporate more online and collaborative learning elements. Key aspects included adopting a co-construction approach where learners and teachers share expertise, using connectivism as a learning theory, developing 9 online Learning Episodes with activities and assessments, and facilitating collaborative work between student clusters online with less direct tutoring. The process involved conversations with various stakeholders and revealed the need for tutor training on online pedagogies to develop engaging online communities of learners.
This document discusses America's legacy of gun violence and its impact on youth. It traces the history of gun culture in America from the colonial period, where gun ownership was necessary for survival and then encouraged. The Second Amendment cemented the right to bear arms. Westward expansion and conflicts with indigenous peoples further normalized gun use. Later, organized crime in the 20th century glorified guns. Now, media and bullying contribute to youth fascination with firearms. The conclusion calls for addressing these societal factors and for parents to take a more active role in mentoring youth.
1. The document discusses different types of data that could be used in writing a paper about developing an online learning module.
2. It identifies six sources of data: notes from development meetings, the process of module development, student engagement records, learning discussions, and student evaluations.
3. The document considers positioning the paper as "professional development" or "research" and debates the hierarchical relationship between the two. It questions treating knowledge as ideology-free.
This document discusses developing a title and research questions for a research project. It emphasizes that titles and questions may evolve and change through the research process. When forming questions, researchers should ensure the questions are focused enough to provide direction while allowing flexibility. Well-articulated questions should have a clear relationship to the research title and each other. Researchers are advised to evaluate whether their questions are suitable, doable within constraints, and receive approval from supervisors and experts.
The document wishes the reader and their family peace, health, and happiness in the new year, and hopes the year brings joy, laughter, fulfillment, success, and good fortune. It notes the presentation will run automatically until the Esc key is pressed.
This portfolio highlights drafting work from Levi Perry's studies at Three Rivers Community College. It includes detailed drawings of weldments, cams, and clamps as well as military blueprints from online sources. A featured project is drawings of an F-15 fighter jet with modifications to the afterburners and exploded and additional views of the aircraft. The portfolio was created using AutoCAD and is meant to showcase the author's drafting and engineering skills.
This document discusses six building blocks for a successful implementation of ICD-10: communication, coding education, clinical documentation improvement, information technology, revenue cycle, and post go-live activities. It explores each building block in detail, providing recommendations and best practices. Key aspects include developing a comprehensive communication plan, conducting coder skills assessments and training various staff levels, improving clinical documentation through physician involvement and feedback loops, testing IT system capabilities and interfaces, preparing the revenue cycle for potential payment delays, and planning post go-live activities. Skillful execution of these six foundational building blocks will help ensure a smooth transition to ICD-10.
The cancer registry can have a great impact on the growth of an Accountable Care Organization (ACO). This white paper takes an in-depth look at the topic.
QOPI (Quality Oncology Practice Initiative) is a program developed by the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) that uses a set of measures to evaluate and improve the quality of care in outpatient chemotherapy clinics. There are three levels of participation in QOPI - unregistered, registered, and certification. For certification, clinics must participate in data collection, meet scoring requirements on 26 core measures, and pass an on-site review. QOPI measures overlap with COC standards and can be used to fulfill eligibility requirements or conduct quality studies. Participation in QOPI also provides career opportunities for cancer registrars given their skills in data collection, analysis, and quality improvement.
Care Communications’ latest cancer registry white paper takes an in-depth look at the Rapid Quality Reporting System (RQRS). Topics covered include why hospitals need RQRS; participation requirements; benefits of the RQRS for facilities and patients; how to prepare for RQRS implementation and resources for more information.
This document discusses issues with using electronic health record (EHR) data for clinical research due to poor documentation practices. It identifies four problematic practices - default values, poorly designed templates, duplicated documentation, and dictation without validation. These practices can introduce inaccuracies and inconsistencies. The document advocates for standards and "intelligent reasoning" techniques like medical record abstraction to mitigate issues and ensure data quality and integrity for clinical research.
