- Hi! EDSTAT-Lers!
-
- I note with interest the recent discussion on Health Science students.
-
- I have embarked on a university-funded project in an attempt to make life easier
- for Health Science (Nursing) students hitting statistics for the first time.
-
- The idea is, initially, to investigate what strategies/resources are being
- used in the various tertiary institutions, aimed at maximising the quality of
- learning (of statistics) by Health Science students. Of particular interest,
- would be those pertaining to distance education (external) teaching, however
- methods for internals will also be investigated.
-
- The move to a university setting for Health Science training is a fairly
- recent event in this state, and therefore it would be beneficial to build on
- the experiences of those educators who have already been down this track.
-
- If you fit this category, or can refer me to those that do, I would be
- grateful for any information with which you can provide me:
- strategies, resources, student types/profile, any evaluations made
- (informal/formal), anything you have found useful, ... a list of "do's" &
- "don't's" !! ...
- Thanking you in advance,
-
