Archive for the ‘krew’ Category
Please update your bookmarks, etc. We have fully moved to our new site for blogging health/medical and nursing informatics events, and other activities we may attend. The new URL is www.hi-blogs.info - this points to our new Wordpress installation (which is also at ucru.wordpress.com), where we will be doing most of our collaborative event blogging. Our older sites are archived as they contain, we think, a lot of useful material that people may still wish to access. So, for the old portal, go to: http://www.differance-engine.net/hiblogs/index.php and for the event blogs, go to: http://www.differance-engine.net/krew/ We will be continuing to blog and explore other Web 2.0 tools in 2009 and beyond. For some events, we will set up event-specific blogs, but most of our collaborative activity will be at www.hi-blogs.info.

We will be migrating to our new blogging home over the next few weeks. We will keep this blog as an archive for the time being, and maybe migrate it into the new site. Visit us at http://ucru.wordpress.com/ and watch out for further news.

The Medicine 2.0 Congress (>>>) takes place later this week in Toronto. It is an international conference on Web 2.0 applications in health and medicine, and is being held on September 4-5 at the MaRS Centre. Several of the presenters also have papers in a special issue of JMIR (>>>).
Several krew members are attending - and presenting at - the event, and we will be blogging it here and elsewhere. And Margaret has a paper titled “Versatile, Immersive, Creative and Dynamic Virtual 3-D Healthcare Learning Environments: A Review of the Literature” (>>>) in the JMIR special issue - congratulations! Watch out for further news.
I will be flying to Toronto on Tuesday (2 September).

From 16-19 July (approx), Peter and Scott will be blogging from SINI2008 (nursing.umaryland.edu/sini) at the University of Maryland School of Nursing in Baltimore. We will not be creating a separate SINI blog as we have in recent years, but will be posting here. We hope to see many readers at SINI, but if you cannot be there, you can follow some of the activity here.
We will also be trying out ‘live blogging’ using coveritlive.com Each session that we cover with this will have a link to a coveritlive site; you can click on this to read live coverage of SINI (or the archive afterwards). More later in the week, once we start.

After our 3 presentations, we opened the panel up for discussion of issues raised. Q - do Gen X etc have different attitudes to privacy? - will they care? - will this have an effect on healthcare, privacy, etc? - are we moving into a new era on attitudes? One audience member suggested that after the current generation there may be a backlash that values anonymity. We had some discussion of using social technologies to support distance education.

This afternoon is the ‘krew’ panel at MIE2008 - Hansen, Murray and Oyri, “Health informatics 2.0, Web 3.0 and beyond: how evocative networks and transforming health and education”. I am going to try blogging the session ‘live’ and also put tweets (?) on Twitter. Peter gave an introduction to definitions of Web 2.0 and gave an overview of some of the things that the ‘krew’ have been doing around blogging events. Surprisingly few of the people attending the session (about 35) have used blogs, and very few of them actively blog or have their own blogs. More people seem to be on LinkedIn than on Facebook. Margaret talked about podcasts and the work she has been doing using them in nurse education. She provided a number of URLs for websites that show people how to create podcasts. She also talked about recording her lectures and making the podcasts available to students within a short period. She says that the majority of her students are addicted to technology, and is interested in user engagement issues around the use of new technologies. She finds her students very satisfied with podcast lectures - she finds students learn more with shorter podcasts. Margaret then moved on to thinking about Web 3D and virtual worlds (such as Second Life) as learning spaces. She gave an example of work using nursing ACLS skills in Second Life. She sees Second Life providing flexible learning environments, in particular in relation to simulations. She warned of the amount of work involved in creating 3D environments, and this may be a barrier to many educators. She says there is a need for research into learning outcomes on use of 3D worlds and Web 2.0 tools. She sees serious gaming as being at tghe forefront of future education. Karl was the last presenter; he began by saying there are 3 paradigms for analysing ICT - sociological, technical/science, and patient outcome-oriented and medical approaches (eg RCT). He pointed out that patients are using Web 2.0 applications. He mentioned the ideas of ‘contagious media’ and the viral and contagious models to describe the ways in which application awareness and use spreads. He asked whether the kind of commercial profiling models such as used by Amazon could be used in healthcare environments to target the information that might be given to, or directed at, patients. Karl gave a brief introduction to PHRs (personal health records) and said that many are developed by healthcare providers. He also gave an introduction to Google Health, the sorts of information that can be currently entered, and kinds of information that it links to. He pointed out that it is not possible to make one’s own notes in Google Health. He then moved on to some of his work on wireless technologies, and looked at how ubiquitous networks might link in to Web 2.0 applications.
