What's on the Horizon? Trends and Trials in Educational TechnologyMelissa Rethlefsen
For the past 10 years, the New Media Consortium has released an annual Horizon Report, evaluating current trends in technology, and forecasting newer technologies' importance and uptake in education over a multi-year horizon. We will review previous Horizon Reports' predictions with a focus on the 2014 Horizon Report Higher Ed Edition's findings and forecasts. Particular emphasis will be placed on challenges in the educational technology realm, including faculty training and readiness, innovation scalability, and the ultimate question - when should new technologies be used? Are we jumping on the bandwagon? When should we jump off? http://stream.lib.utah.edu/index.php?c=details&id=10298

Converting an Intranet Site to the Cloud: Using LibGuides to Refresh a Librar...Melissa Rethlefsen
The library at Mayo Clinic converted their intranet portal to the cloud-based LibGuides platform to refresh their online presence. LibGuides provided more flexibility than their previous system by allowing customization of style, color, structure, content and organization. It also simplified permissions and allowed combination of "Hot Topics" and resource pages into streamlined subject guides. Screenshots highlighted improvements like reduced length and good organization through grouping of categories and association of related subjects.
Refining a Local Bibliographic Database Design with Usability Testing: The Ma...Melissa Rethlefsen
Usability testing was conducted on a redesigned local bibliographic database called Mayo Authors to identify areas for improvement. 10 staff members participated in usability testing where they completed tasks while thinking aloud. Over 200 findings were identified, including issues with search and result interfaces. Changes were made to search options, saved search functions, marking and saving results, and terminology based on the findings to improve the usability of the database.
This document summarizes the findings and resolutions from a usability study of the MAUI application conducted on September 13, 2010. There were 67 findings identified across various areas including logging in, searching, search strategies, workflow, and using the MyMADB feature. For each finding, a rating was given for severity and a proposed resolution was provided to improve the user experience and address issues that caused confusion. The goal of the study was to enhance the usability of the MAUI application based on how real users interacted with it.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning.

This document discusses various tools for finding, organizing, and managing information from medical and scientific literature. It mentions search engines like Google and PubMed, as well as tools for personalizing searches, receiving alerts, bookmarking, keeping notes, and finding collaborators. The document is authored by Oliver Obst, Director of Branch Medical Library at the University of Muenster, and is dated February 1, 2007.
Web 2.0 tools like blogs, social media, and online groups allow for greater participation between healthcare providers and patients, shifting control to patients and enabling richer engagement through new forms of communication and disease management support. These tools have the potential to reshape doctor-patient relationships by supplementing in-person encounters and allowing ongoing remote support. However, more research is still needed to understand the impacts and potential of using social media and online platforms for direct provider-patient contact.
Connecting with Public Health Librarians: We're aTwitter about Social NetworkingMelissa Rethlefsen
The document discusses the use of social media by a Public Health and Health Administration (PH/HA) section to communicate with its members. It launched a blog in 2008 and a Twitter account in 2009 to replace its newsletter. A survey found most members did not use the social media and preferred the newsletter. To improve engagement, the section created a Facebook page in 2009 and linked its blog and Twitter account. By 2010, the Facebook page had 26 followers and Twitter had 53, though usage was still low according to the survey results.

The process began in February 2009 with policy discussions, and the document seeks other ways to improve social media adventures and education at Mayo Clinic.
MLA's Public Health/Health Administration Cool Web Things Task Force and the ...Melissa Rethlefsen
The MLA's Public Health/Health Administration Section formed a task force to assess the use of Web 2.0 technologies by its members and identify options for improving communication. Two surveys found that most members used blogs and RSS feeds weekly and supported converting the newsletter to a blog format. Based on these results, the newsletter was converted to a blog in 2008 and a Delicious account was created to share links. The task force identified key focus areas and used member feedback to guide the adoption of appropriate Web 2.0 tools.
The document summarizes surveys conducted by the Medical Library Association's Task Force on Social Networking Software in 2007 and 2008. In the initial 2007 survey, 495 MLA members completed the survey and reported that blogs, RSS feeds, and wikis were the most important social software tools for the association. The 2008 follow-up survey had 132 respondents and found that library type and years of experience influenced members' use and beliefs about different technologies. Educational events held by MLA between the surveys were effective in increasing members' knowledge and implementation of social media in their libraries.
This document discusses cool Web 2.0 tools and their benefits. It introduces blogs, wikis, social networking sites, Twitter, media sharing, and health tools people use online. Examples mentioned include Flickr and how social aspects, user participation, and low costs make Web 2.0 tools valuable.
The document discusses a course taken by health sciences faculty to teach them about Web 2.0 tools and how to incorporate them into education. The course used blogs, RSS feeds, social bookmarking, wikis and other tools. Faculty participants provided feedback on the tools, with many finding benefits like increased sharing of information, enabling student learning, and new ways for collaboration. However, participants also noted that using new technologies requires time and support for faculty.
This document discusses a faculty member's experience learning about Web 2.0 tools through an online program. The faculty member notes that the program increased their confidence with blogs, RSS feeds, and other tools. While the support of instructors was helpful, the material seemed better suited for younger people who grew up with computers rather than older "Baby Boomers" who learned the internet through trial and error. Overall, the faculty member expresses appreciation for the class and gratitude for how much was learned.

Because once you can see that data in aggregate, visualize it, and perceive trends, then you can self-manage your health better and your health care team can incorporate your observations of daily living into your health record and clinical care. One group, Project HealthDesign, funded by Robert Wood Johnson foundation, has been working on ways to add observations of daily living into health care through technology since 2006. What’s new is how today’s mobile devices make this process easier. They offer: convenience, self-management, social support, and interaction with a health care provider.
