I teach in a PTA program the course entitled Pathology. I want to develop a discussion board for this class. I would like to find another school that might want to use the same discussion group to encourage interaction between the students. They are second year students and have used the computer in another course I taught them.

Dr. David Lehman at University of St. Augustine has approached me about assiting in the coordination of something of this nature for his Neurology class. Perhaps we should get a few educators together before the start of the new semster and braistorm how we could use RehabEdge as a teaching medium.

Hello,
My name is John Fraser. I am an instuctor at Long Island University's OT program (teaching kinesiology lab, goniometry and MMT) and lab assistant in the PT programs at the College of Staten Island (CUNY, kinesiology lab) and Dominican College (Gross Anatomy Lab). I am also a graduate student at the College of Staten Island. I have some good ideas and have some excellent online resources that could be shared with your students. If you have any questions my Email address is johnjfraser@yahoo.com
I look forward to speaking with eveyone. JF

[ have some good ideas and have some excellent online resources that could be shared with your students. ]
Very interested in your ideas and resources! Please send to DALehman@usa.edu
I have developed a web site for my Neuropathology class (www.usa.edu/lehman). Feedback is appreciated.
Hi, David Lehman here. Drew, not Dr. quite yet...getting closer, though! [IMG]http://www.rehabedge.com/forums/smile.gif[/IMG]
I have my students in my Neuropathology class refer to the RehabEdge forums for discussion of topics in class (i.e. The patient with Aterior Cord Syndrome).
I am very interested in forming a multi site discussion for our students. Who wishes to get the ball rolling on our brainstorming session? Drew?
Until then,
David

Well, there seems to be a fair amount of interest about this subject of using internet technology to benefit physical therapy instruction. My thesis for my MBA (yeah, I know. Yes, it was a research-based MBA) focused on Distance Education for Physical Therapists, and if I could ever get my rear in gear, Dr Rosenberg, Dr Gandy, and myself will have that sucker published in the Journal of PT Education sooner than later.
There are many ways that the internet can be used to enhance lecture based instruction, but I'm not sure that RehabEdge has the ability to support all methods. I'm currently applying for a position at UNC-Chapel Hill (so letters of reference may soon be requested from some of you folks), so I don't want to give away all of my ideas quite yet . . . but here is one to chew on:
Attract several faculty from different physical therapy education programs to coordinate their course curriculum, or perhaps to develop patient problems, and then incorporate the progression of this patient or patients over the course of the semester, into the learning process by sweeping MEDLINE for the facts, and neuro texts (or ortho or whatever) for the basic science, and tradition of physical therapy. It may be even MORE meaningful to have an actual patient, or actual parent of a child with special needs, help to coordinate the curriculum.
A pediatrics course, for example, may start with the transition evaluation, as students dig into issues of PL-99-457 . . . then into some assessment tool issues . . . then into diagnostics . . . then into treatment options and the evidence-base for each type of intervention . . . then into which types might be optimal (based upon the evidence) for the patient in question.
Having the students interact with a clinician, parent, child, family advocate/lawyer, and MEDLINE over the course of an entire semester may be a very active, and very different type of learning experience.
I've got a few other ideas, but let's chew on this for a while.
Drew
