The Development of the Biostatistics & Clinical Epideimiolgy Skills (BACES) A...Pat Barlow
A poster based on my dissertation work developing a new biostatistics and clinical epidemiology skills self-assessment for medical residents. I used an Item Response Theory (IRT) approach to gather preliminary data on 30 multiple choice items that will eventually turn into an online self-assessment module for residents looking to hone their skills in these critical areas. The article is currently under review in Medical Teach, and I am looking for more sites / collaborators for expanding the instrument. Email if you're interested!
Bad Statistics, Bad Reporting, Bad Impact on Patients: The Story of the PACE ...Julie Rehmeyer
A talk by Julie Rehmeyer at the Joint Statistics Meetings, 2016.
In 2011, headlines worldwide announced that an effective treatment had been found for a debilitating illness that affects 17 million people around the world. The study was published in The Lancet. Great news!
Except that it wasn't. Patients with the illness, known as chronic fatigue syndrome or myalgic encephalomyelitis, quickly decried the study as having severe scientific problems. Furthermore, it didn't fit with their experience: patients reported that the two treatments -- psychotherapy and gradually increasing exercise -- had little impact and could indeed be dangerous. They analyzed the study and spelled out its serious flaws, particularly statistical ones, in scientific journals, but the authors dismissed the concerns as prejudice against psychiatry.
In late 2015, journalist David Tuller wrote a 14,000-word expose of the flaws in the trial, citing the grave concerns of researchers. Dr. Ronald Davis of Stanford University, for example, said, "I'm shocked that the Lancet published it.I don't understand how it got through any kind of peer review."
I'll describe the problems with the science, with the functioning of the scientific institutions, and with the journalism.

Research requires properly planned methodology. I would like to recommend that researchers to focus on these 4 critical steps. If these steps are fulfilled, you will find it easy to conduct your research.
With the unbelievable success of my previous survey research lecture, I felt it only right to keep going with that theme. This presentaiton is a copy of a guest lecture I recently did for the Clinical Epidemiology course here at The University of Iowa. The slides first talk about some fundamentals of psychmetric measurement like reliability and validity, and then get practical by discussing 5 simple strategies for creating successful survey instruments. Like, favorite, share, comment, enjoy!

Retrospective application of systems thinking and isomorphism to a complex mu...Pat Barlow
Here we present a case-based talk that applies both systems thinking and the concept of isomorphism to a complex, mulch-institutional college bridge program. For more information please contact Patrick Barlow at Pbarlow1@utk.edu
This is the handout version of a lecture I give to medical residents and fellows on the basics of clinical research designs and the inherent issues that go along with each one. I give this lecture as part of a multi-module lecture series on research design and statistical analysis.
Commonly Used Statistics in Medical Research Part IPat Barlow
This presentation covers a brief introduction to some of the more common statistical analyses we run into while working with medical residents. The point is to make the audience familiar with these statistics rather than calculate them, so it is well-suited for journal clubs or other EBM-related sessions. By the end of this presentation the students should be able to: Define parametric and descriptive statistics
• Compare and contrast three primary classes of parametric statistics: relationships, group differences, and repeated measures with regards to when and why to use each
• Link parametric statistics with their non-parametric equivalents
• Identify the benefits and risks associated with using multivariate statistics
• Match research scenarios with the appropriate parametric statistics
The presentation is accompanied with the following handout: http://slidesha.re/1178weg
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
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 wasn’t 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.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
