Open Online Courses in Health Professions Education: A systematic reviewMichael Rowe
Â
I'm working on a systematic review of the literature on Open Online Courses in Health Professions Education, with two colleagues from Monash University. These are the preliminary findings from that review that I presented at the SAAHE conference in 2016.
Digital literacy of an international group of physiotherapy studentsMichael Rowe
Â
As part of the International Ethics Project (https://internationalethicsproject.wordpress.com/) we conducted a survey of digital literacy in an international sample of physiotherapy students. These are the preliminary findings of that survey.
Supporting a student with visual impairment in the ICUMichael Rowe
Â
Presentation with some preliminary findings of a study we conducted after placing a final year physiotherapy students with a visual impairment in the Intensive Care Unit.
Using the web to empower agents of changeMichael Rowe
Â
These are the slides from the presentation I gave at The Network: Towards Unity for Health conference in Fortaleza, Brazil (2014).
The talk looked at how we're trying to prepare health professional students for an increasingly complex health system, but we're still using teaching methods that originated centuries ago. I ask questions about how we can change teaching practices to take into account the characteristics we expect of our graduates. I discussed the importance of taking a critical stance towards the implementation of technological solutions, and to be careful of making assumptions about the use of technology to solve all problems.

Â
This is the first conference presentation I ever gave. It was in 2008 at the South African Association of Health Educators (SAAHE) conference at Stellenbosch University.
I came across it just now and thought I'd put it up here, just for the sake of being complete.
This is the presentation I gave at the Centre for Teaching and Learning at Stellenbosch University.
I began by exploring some of the ways in which the education system is broken, and how the select application of certain types of technologies may be a useful part of the solution. This first section was to contextualise the second part of the presentation...
...which was to demonstrate a few examples of how I integrate certain services, applications and devices into my own PLE, before finally...
...highlighting the challenges we face in moving this idea forward, as well as suggesting guidelines that acknowledge the challenges, but which still facilitate an appropriate application of the PLE concept.
Few of the ideas expressed in the presentation are solely my own (other than choosing the images), and I've tried to give credit where it is due.
Collaborative knowledge construction with wikisMichael Rowe
Â
This is the presentation that I gave at the HELTASA conference in Johannesburg on 27 November, 2009.
I discuss social media in general, and wikis in particular, as well as their role and application in higher education.
I go on to discuss the results of a wiki-based assignment that I gave to a class of fourth year physiotherapy students, and their experiences with the wiki.
In our department, we're required to present our study proposals for comment before submission to Higher Degrees. This allows for the group to give feedback for final corrections in the hope that the proposal is accepted without having to make major revisions.
This is the proposal presentation I gave to my department a few days ago. The feedback I received, although mainly editorial, means that the structure of this content is not the same as it will be in the final submission e.g. the Method has received another step in the process.
The use of ICT by South African physiotherapy studentsMichael Rowe
Â
I presented some of the results from my Masters study at the Higher Education as a Social Space (HESS) conference at Rhodes University in Grahamstown last year.
I tried to determine which ICT services / tools South African physiotherapy students used as part of their studies. This was done in 2006, before the whole "social media" thing hit South Africa.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Operation âBlue Starâ is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
Â
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasnât one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

15. different ways of interacting
âI could express myself and I felt it was easier for
me than talking in class. Because I could do it in
my own space, I could do it in my own time. I
didn't feel like I was being judged, so it was easier
to express myself because I'm very shy.â
âBut you were in public?â
âYes, but I was behind a screen.â
16. different ways of interacting (2)
âwhen you talk then itâs out there and everyoneâs
heard it, but when youâre blogging you can
backspace. Sometimes you think a certain way
but then to actually express it and have other
people understand what youâre trying to say is
more difficult. So it made you think through your
thoughts and organise them and then write it
how you want people to understand it, which is
very different to talking in class.
17. different ways of interacting (3)
âI found that I'm more willing to listen to other people's
opinions and think and analyse what theyâre saying. Youâre
not just shutting their opinion out.â
âOne of your posts that got a lot comments was saying
that too often weâre listening to other people with one
ear, waiting for that pause to say, âYes, but...â.â
âTo attack their opinion.â
âJa, without really listening.â
18. different ways of managing time
âI felt like I had to be in a specific mind-space in
order to get my points across. So maybe if I had
to be here at eight oâclock on a Wednesday
morning I wouldnât be wanting to think about
that. So when I wanted to work on it I would
produce better work because itâs what I wanted
to do at that specific time.â
19. context & personal learning
âYou had to put it into your own life context. You
never really could understand what the next topic
was unless you thought back onto a time where
you experienced it, and then it started to make
sense to me â just having the word up there
wasnât helping; you still had to provide your own
context and your own information.â
20. context & personal learning (2)
âIt made me feel responsible for my own learning. I
could choose how much input I wanted to put in and
that would determine how much I got out of the
course. I think you can get a lot out of things when you
can chose how much effort you want to put into it.â
âI felt free to think for myself. Instead of being told:
This is what you need to think, I could form my own
opinion.â
21. validation
âit felt really cool to be able to speak to actual
physios and then they have the same view as you
and it made it feel like a whole lot more real that
someone [who has finished] four years of study
was thinking the same way.â
22. the âfacebookâ effect
It was frustrating because I wanted to add tags
but I didnât know what that means. I wanted to
add links but I didnât know how. So, I wanted to
make it cooler because I wanted other people to
be interested in it, but I didn't know how.â
23. dealing with difference
âHow do I go about answering [a patient]
without imposing my opinion on them? It
needs to be an informed decision from the
patientâs side, so how do they decide if you only
give them your opinion? You need to give them
both sides of a story so that they can process it
for themselves.â
24. dealing with uncertainty
âYouâre being marked not on facts but on theories
and ideas and what you think. And I think that
scares a lot of people because if they donât know
that 'this is right', or 'this is wrong', theyâll go on
thinking 'I donât know it'.â
25. dealing with uncertainty (2)
âThere may not be one right answer to everything. There
are guidelines but I think itâs more open because everyone
is different; every patient is different. They respond
differently and every clinician performs it differently. So itâs
working out whatâs best for you and knowing that even
though that person does it differently itâs still beneficial for
the patient.â
âWhen I was on clinical practice, I listened to what the
clinician would say, think about it, and then go speak to a 4th
year, speak to different people and listen to their reasoning
â and then from that I would just adjust my own thinking.â
26. challenging others
Would you be more confident now in challenging someoneâs opinion?
âYes, because knowing yourself and knowing why you think the
way you do â youâll be more confident in expressing yourself.â
âIt emphasised the importance of having evidence to support
your opinion. If you want to challenge someone you must have
evidence. You canât just say, 'I disagree and this is what I would do'.
You must have evidence to back up your thoughts.
âIt was nice to learn that there is a professional way of challenging
other people in a way thatâs not offensive.â
âIt was the way in which people commented and responded that
made me realise that they're not going to take offence if you
challenge their idea; they really do want to discuss and learn.â

28. conclusion
Open online courses offer innovative teaching
and learning opportunities that can enhance the
student learning experience. As social media and
other online technologies become increasingly
embedded in higher education, teachers will
need to be familiar with the context of learning in
open, online spaces.
