<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="background-color: yellow;">5 Important lessons</b>, I learned from this inspiring talk by Nor Fadzleen Sa'don about Harvard Summer School:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li style="text-align: justify;">At Harvard you are encouraged to learn, think and have<b><span style="color: #38761d;"> group discussions outdoors</span></b>. </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Class participation is highly valued. 30% of the course evaluation is based on student's class participation (at least for Nor's 2 courses). </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Students learn through attending/facilitating workshops, giving presentations and doing projects on real companies or ideas that can be applied to the real world. A lot of emphasis is given on students to speak up, articulate and share their ideas, opinions and thoughts. </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Students are required to mostly find their own resources for the learning activities, and spoon-feeding or regurgitation of the Professors' notes is simply a No No! </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">The Professors are not there to tell you what is right and wrong, but to provoke you to think and challenge one another to find your own path in a myriad of possibilities. You have to be prepared to get constructive feedback from your peers and Professors at all times. </li>
</ol>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Finally, although learning is tough at Harvard, you are recommended to have fun while you try to innovate or find creative solutions to the biggest problems and issues that the world is facing today.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And amazingly, Nor Fadzleen Sa'don attended Harvard Summer School while fasting, and one of her team project reports scored the highest (Al-Hamdulilla). Insya-Allah, she is destined to do great things for education in Malaysia and beyond :)</div>

First, I would like to declare that I am <span style="color: #990000;"><u><b>NOT</b></u><i><b> working for Apple</b></i></span>, and I was certainly not paid for preparing a workshop (and slides) on using iPad for learning and teaching. However, I do use iPad a lot for my own personal learning, and there are some really cool things that educators can do with it to engage students and inspire more creativity, besides the negative aspects which are highlighted, too (<i><a href="http://www.slideshare.net/zaid/ipad-for-learning-teaching-workshop" target="_blank">Slide 11</a></i>).</div>

<h2 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>THE STORY</b></span></h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The admirable Dr. Archana Singh Sikarwar (IMU lecturer) invited <i><b><a href="http://www.marthaherbert.com/" target="_blank">Dr Martha Herbert</a> </b></i>(a prominent Harvard Medical School researcher and clinician) to give a Keynote talk for the <i><b><a href="http://www.imu.edu.my/imu/index.php/news/285-autism-insight-and-interventions" target="_blank">AUTISM: Insight and Interventions seminar</a> </b></i>at IMU on 21 -22 September, 2012. Due to Dr. Martha's busy schedule, she could only agree to do a webinar or Skype session with the participants.<br />
<br />
Dr. Archana needed help to make this work, and then (of course!) linked up with IMU e-Learning (led by Fareeza) for a practical solution that works. After some discussion, we agreed on a <span style="color: #38761d;"><i><b>3 step model</b></i></span> to ensure quality and minimize the potential hiccups on the way:<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li><span style="color: #990000;"><b>RECORD</b></span><br />To avoid buffering and ensure quality audio synchronized with the slide presentation, we arranged with Dr. Martha to record the lecture using <i><a href="http://www.wiziq.com/" target="_blank">WizIQ</a> </i>(web conferencing/webinar tool) a few days before the seminar. As she was not too familiar with <i><a href="http://www.wiziq.com/" target="_blank">WizIQ</a>, </i>I coached her the basics in 5-10 minutes (splendid student, so not much of a problem!), and we did a quick pilot-run to ensure everything was in tip-top condition, especially the microphone and webcam. Although, <i><a href="http://www.wiziq.com/" target="_blank">WizIQ</a> </i>empowers us to record the webinar, we used <b><i><a href="http://www.techsmith.com/camtasia.html" target="_blank">Camtasia</a></i></b> to record the session, and then edited it (by Gomalah) and finally converted it to a video format (which was later uploaded to YouTube). <br /><br /> </li>
<li><span style="color: #b45f06;"><b>VIEW</b></span><br />Then during Dr. Martha's Keynote session we showed the video (offline)
to the participants. Although, it is not the same as her in person, it
is without doubt an inspiration to have such a prominent and amazing
person involved in our seminar sharing her expertise and insights about
Autism, and how we can help Autistic children in so many ways.
Unfortunately, due to her schedule, the Q&A session had to be
scheduled for the day after. However, that gave the organizer time to
collect questions from the participants, which they sent to Dr. Martha
by e-mail.<br /><br /></li>
<li><span style="color: #38761d;"><b>Q&A </b></span><br />For the Q&A session with Dr. Martha we used <a href="http://www.skype.com/" target="_blank">Skype</a> (more suitable than WizIQ for this), and this gave participants who were present on the second day to ability to ask questions and interact with her live, too. </li>
</ol>
<br />
Ideally, the<span style="color: #38761d;"><i><b> lecture and Q&A should be conducted live together</b></i></span> using video conferencing, web-conferencing or even Skype, but sometimes we need to use creative approaches to make sure everyone is available and that we avoid technical issues such as loss of connection, buffering and bad audio/video quality. Also, since there was a 12-hour time difference (night time for Dr. Martha), I thought overall we did a pretty good job, and learned some important lessons on the way (shared above briefly). <br />
<br />
More importantly, Dr. Martha has allowed us to share to this inspiring webinar talk about Autism on YouTube, which is wonderful. <br />
<br />
Finally, I got to personally meet online, interact and coach Dr. Martha, which was a simply a great pleasure. Thank you! <br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To know more about how remarkable <a href="http://www.marthaherbert.com/" target="_blank">Dr. Martha Hebert</a> is, you might want to also explore her <a href="http://nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/transcend/" target="_blank">research</a> and latest book: <i><b><a href="http://www.autismrevolution.org/" target="_blank">The Autism Revolution.</a> </b></i></div>
<br />
<br />
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>RECORDNING</b></span></h2>
Alright, I shall not keep you reading anymore...Voilà:</div>
<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As a result, now many more people can be inspired by her inspiring talk on Autism. Should you miss the recorded webinar for any reason, please at least download the <a href="http://www.autismrevolution.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/AutismRevolution_TenTipsOnePagerLetterSize-wURL.pdf" target="_blank">TEN TIPS on how to help children with Autism</a> (PDF). </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Finally, I have taken the proactive liberty to replicate these 10 tips below, because they are simply too important to forget or ignore:</div>

Are you familiar with the '<i><b><a href="http://delicious.com/zaidlearn/flipped_classroom" target="_blank">Flipped Classroom</a></b></i>' approach to learning?<br />
<br />
Here is a video to introduce you to the biggest global learning trend and buzz word in education for the last few years (besides <i><b><a href="http://delicious.com/zaidlearn/mooc" target="_blank">MOOCs</a></b></i>, which is probably the learning buzzword for 2012):</div>

That sounds <span style="color: #990000;"><i><b>great for school-level learning</b></i></span>, but what about higher education? <br />
<br />
<a href="http://usergeneratededucation.wordpress.com/tag/flipped-classroom/" target="_blank">Jackie Gerstein</a>'s masterpiece graphic below (and articles/resources) provides some great ideas on how to make it really work for higher education.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you ask me, I would argue that the <span style="color: #990000;"><i><b>flipping 'Flipped Classroom' challenge</b></i></span> is not making your lectures available online (which many are already doing), but creating electrifying and inspiring learning experiences during the face-to-face (F2F) learning sessions itself that is the ultimate challenge (and differentiating factor to give you a competitive advantage).<br />
<br />
Also, in higher education, especially at Master and PhD level <span style="color: #990000;"><i><b>should we be spoon-feeding students </b></i></span>with lectures (recordings) telling or showing them A-Z, so that they can replicate (or vomit out) the same stuff during their exams or assignments?<br />
<br />
<br />
<h2>
<span style="font-size: large;">THE LECTURE</span></h2>
I suppose it depends on what you are teaching, but we also need to rethink what the <span style="color: #990000;"><i><b>real purpose of the lecture </b></i></span>should be, and how we can make best use of it to engage and inspire learning beyond the spoon-feeding paradigm.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-suGTWZi9pAY/UEVd-PEwx2I/AAAAAAAAC3g/5tBG0sD96O8/s1600/lecture.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-suGTWZi9pAY/UEVd-PEwx2I/AAAAAAAAC3g/5tBG0sD96O8/s400/lecture.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b><a href="http://zaidlearn.blogspot.com/2010/06/vanishing-art-of-lecturing-prof-k.html" target="_blank">DON'T MISS THIS LECTURE!</a></b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Alright, after exploring <i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lecture" target="_blank">for a few centuries</a></i>, we finally get the lecture right (for what we are teaching)! <span style="color: #38761d;"><i><b>What do we do with the students when they come for the F2F (or online) learning sessions? </b></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If the lecture recording is already online (hopefully not outdated!), I suppose repeating it during a F2F (or online) session would not be the most productive way to go about it, would it?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But, before we get into that, <span style="color: #990000;"><i><b>have your students actually gone through the lecture recording before the F2F session</b></i></span>? I suppose so, I told them to do so (Keep on dreaming!).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You can assume that, but the reality is often very different unless you have infused some mechanisms to ensure that they view (and also understand) the recorded lecture(s) before they come to class.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #38761d;"><i><b>Changing the students' learning mindset</b></i></span> (and habits) to explore lectures (or resources) online before class might take some time, especially if they are from the good old spoon-feeding paradigm. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
To deal with this, you could for example <span style="color: #38761d;"><i><b>keep track on who access</b></i></span> the recorded lectures (especially if you are using an<i> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learning_management_system" target="_blank">LMS</a></i>) before class. However, clicking on a link doesn't mean that actual learning has taken place. However, having an <span style="color: #38761d;"><i><b>online quiz</b></i></span> after (or during) the recorded lecture could encourage more students to explore it, especially if it is a requirement to do it before the F2F session.<br />
<br />
Adding a <span style="color: #38761d;"><i><b>discussion forum</b></i></span>, requiring for example all students to ask at least one question (or reflection) before class could help, too. Or you could construct a few online learning <span style="color: #38761d;"><i><b>activities/challenges/assignments</b></i></span> (e.g. <i><a href="http://webquest.org/" target="_blank">WebQuest</a></i>) to encourage students to think before the F2F session.<br />
<br />
Finally, if you create <span style="color: #38761d;"><i><b>sizzling online lectures</b></i></span>, many students might even explore them without requiring any 'carrot or stick' measures. The lecture becomes the carrot!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As you see there are many ways to get students on board in a 'flipped classroom' approach, and if you explore your creative mind, I am sure you will figure out even better ways to activate your students' brain to think before they come for class.<br />
<br />
Cool! But, what should we do with them once they come...?<br />

Designing inspiring '<b><i><a href="http://www.educause.edu/research-and-publications/books/learning-spaces" target="_blank">Learning Spaces</a></i></b>' will increasingly be required as we want to move F2F (or online learning) learning sessions beyond the lecture format to empower more effective student learning experiences.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rEsbN7LQlsU/UEV65b8V3lI/AAAAAAAAC4I/Lwq6BfepDSs/s1600/learning+spaces.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="313" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rEsbN7LQlsU/UEV65b8V3lI/AAAAAAAAC4I/Lwq6BfepDSs/s640/learning+spaces.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Changing the physical classroom is probably more complicated as that would also require extensive monetary investments and time to make it happen. Let's assume that you have your good old classroom or computer lab, which by nature might not be really conducive for interactive or collaborative learning (e.g. seating arrangement).<br />
<br />
If you ask me, I would argue that we can still do learning miracles in a boring classroom setting if we stretch our imagination beyond our usual '<span style="color: #990000;"><i><b>Blame everything else, except ourselves</b></i></span>'. So, what can we do during a 'Flipped Classroom' session?<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #38761d;"><i><b>Q&A </b></i></span><br />Encourage students to ask questions to clarify what they didn't understand from the recorded lecture (or required readings).</li>
<li><span style="color: #38761d;"><i><b>Case Study (or Problem-Based Learning)</b></i></span><br />Yes, even <i><a href="http://www.hbs.edu/teaching/inside-hbs/" target="_blank">Harvard uses Case Studies</a></i> to empower deep learning and understanding of the subject matter. We could discuss a Case Study with the students, and even break up into groups to encourage more involvement and diverse opinions.</li>
<li><span style="color: #38761d;"><i><b>Learning Activities</b></i></span><br />Build learning activities to apply what has been learned in the lecture. Here students don't have to be stuck in the classroom. They could always be asked to venture out individually or in groups to the library, labs, outdoors, etc. and then return to share their discoveries and findings.</li>
<li><span style="color: #38761d;"><i><b>Online Classroom</b></i></span><br />If you can't afford the physical transformation of your physical classroom, you could always use a <b><i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_conferencing" target="_blank">web-conferencing tool</a> </i></b>(Cheaper alternative) to engage students to learn using a variety of features (e.g. poll, whiteboard, chat, screen/application sharing, etc.). It is an alternate and cheaper solution that has no borders. </li>
<li><span style="color: #38761d;"><i><b>Etc.</b></i></span><br />I leave that to your imagination!</li>
</ul>
<br />
All these approaches above can be useful to empower more effective learning experiences. But, personally I want the students learning experiences to <span style="color: #990000;"><i><b>be more challenging, competitive, inspiring and fun</b></i></span>, so I would...<br />

However, <span style="color: #990000;"><i><b>how many academics are ready</b></i></span> to take the online 'Gamification' pill to make that happen?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For starters, let's try <span style="color: #38761d;"><i><b>gamifying learning in the classroom</b></i></span>! I did actually try this during my two 2-day OER workshops at <i><b><a href="http://www.usm.my/" target="_blank">Universiti Sains Malaysia</a> </b></i>(USM) in <i><a href="http://zaidlearn.blogspot.com/2012/06/oer-101-workshop-at-usm-round-2.html" target="_blank">June</a></i> and <i><a href="http://zaidlearn.blogspot.com/2012/08/the-oer-101-workshop-at-usm-ii.html" target="_blank">August</a></i> (2012).<br />
<br />
My main mission for the 2nd day's hands-on learning activity was to<span style="color: #38761d;"><i><b> inspire USM Academic staff to use social media and web 2.0 technologies</b></i></span> to develop <i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_educational_resources" target="_blank">Open Educational Resources</a></i> (OER).<br />
<br />
I could have given a boring show-and-do workshop (interactive lecture format) on using a variety of learning tools (and put them to sleep!), but instead <a href="http://onestoplearning.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Prof. Karim</a> and I showed them briefly a variety of learning tools (Edmodo, Blogs, Google Sites, Udemy, etc.), and how they can be applied to learning and teaching. We didn't spend much time teaching them how to click, because that was left to the...<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li><i><b>CHALLENGE</b></i><br />A mission learning activity/task/check list was created for the OER challenge. Basically any course that has learning outcomes can be broken down to learning related tasks, meaning this can be applied to most courses (if not all). So, in this context this is what we wanted participants to achieve by the end of this learning activity:<br /><br /><img border="0" height="302" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pZrOD2sUuf0/UDw4UQklvKI/AAAAAAAAC1I/sIUJB1E_IIY/s400/OER+Project.JPG" width="400" /> <br /> </li>
<li><i><b>GROUP WORK</b></i><br />Participants were assigned to groups based on random numbering (group size: 5 to 7), but were allowed to change group (Not the army!). However, we tried to ensure that the participants with some technology or blogging experience to be divided into different groups (where possible), so that they could play a critical role in helping, or guiding the other participants to achieve the tasks. We also emphasized the learning formula:<span style="color: #38761d;"><i><b> If you know how to do it, check whether the person next to you knows, too. If not, show him/her how to do it.</b></i></span> Teaching is awesome learning!<br /><br />As they had 14 tasks to achieve, most groups divided their work among
the members (divide and conquer) and then got back together during the
end to integrate their items into a learning masterpiece. During the
process they helped one another, and interestingly the facilitators were
hardly needed for help. The groups seemed to work out their issues by
themselves probably 95% of the time. <br /><br /> </li>
<li><i><b>GROUP PRESENTATION AND Q&A</b></i><br />After they had completed their mission, each group was required to present their work to the rest of the participants (10 - 15 minutes each), so that everyone could learn from one another. Participants were encouraged to ask questions after the presentations, and the 2 facilitators (Prof. Karim and me) shared their feedback and recommendations.<br /></li>
<li><i><b>VOTE FOR THE WINNER</b></i><br />To make it more exciting and competitive, participants were requested to vote for the group winner (based on the learning tasks given) using <i><b><a href="http://www.polleverywhere.com/" target="_blank">Poll Everywhere</a></b></i>, which enables you to use any mobile/computer device to vote (great tool to empower student engagement...Clickers on steroids!). As <i><a href="http://www.polleverywhere.com/" target="_blank">Poll Everywhere</a></i> provides live updates as participants vote, it becomes really exciting, especially if it is a close call. <br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-PxilD-Q8wK0/UEXUrASaMxI/AAAAAAAAC7o/mKiqVuA2HGo/s1600/group+winners.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="231" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-PxilD-Q8wK0/UEXUrASaMxI/AAAAAAAAC7o/mKiqVuA2HGo/s400/group+winners.JPG" width="400" /></a></li>
<li><i><b>CELEBRATE! </b></i><br />It is not really about winning, but <span style="color: #38761d;"><i><b>using the gaming approach to engage and inspire</b></i></span> the participants to really explore the learning with a bit of oomph (effort). The winning part is just an icing on a splendidly delicious learning cake. <br /><br />And you know what, I have never seen so many engaged academics embracing a learning activity than during these two workshops. I have been training academics for more than a decade, and this formula has proven to work best for me getting full commitment from participants to do a learning activity. We even had difficulty getting some of the participants to eat lunch. They were so engrossed. Here are some pictures from both workshops to prove it: </li>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b> </b></span>The best thing, it is <span style="color: #38761d;"><i><b>quite easy to gamify classroom learning</b></i></span>, especially the way I have done it in this approach shared above. Of course, your classroom session should be perhaps 2 hours or more to empower all these learning activities without needing to rush through. But developing a learning (activity) tasks list (easy), and learning how to use <i><a href="http://www.polleverywhere.com/" target="_blank">Poll Everywhere</a></i> (5 minutes max!) is seriously less difficult than you probably realize.<br />
<br />
More importantly, instead of spoon-feeding them how to use social media (and web 2.0) tools, we have probably made them realize that they can learn on their own, too. Based on the feedback I got from USM was that the participants learned a lot, were engaged, had fun, and wanted the OER workshop to be conducted again, which I did exactly two months later. <br />

<b>Description:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We are witnessing an exponential rise in the use of social media and mobile technology. We have recently seen widespread use of blogging and social networks, use of Twitter and social tagging, wikis and collaborative filtering, recommender systems. All of these and more, are impacting upon the world of education and training, and there is now a need for concerted research into the effectiveness of these applications. Coupled with the rise in use of mobile phones, handheld computing and the soon to arrive wearable computing and augmented reality tools, we are on the crest of a new wave of learning. Using examples from recent research this presentation will explore the new ways students are learning, and provide some examples of how education might adapt to these new trends.</div>

I've come to believe that one of the critical roles these and other lifelong learning organizations can play is to help their members/customers become more capable and effective lifelong learners in our high-speed, hyper-connected world. I feel that many of us simply weren't all that well prepared by traditional schooling to handle the massive flow of information and the continual need for upgrading our knowledge and skills that are demanded by the "learning economy" in which we now live.

"Friends and colleagues, lend me your (virtual) ears. I have a framework to share with all of you, something called technogogy. Maybe you have heard of it, maybe you haven’t. Maybe you did but chose to ignore it. This framework forces one to take into account the elements of the content, learner, pedagogy and technology that can facilitate for a personalized learning environment and student centred learning. I will also share with you my new ubiquitous learning framework , an all in one solution for an exciting lesson (comes with a lot of hard work) design. See you soon..." <i><b>- Prof. Rozhan M.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Social learning happens everyday – naturally and continuously – as we converse with our friends and colleagues – both inside and outside organisations. Social media tools can play a useful part in training (including e-learning), but more importantly they are a powerful way for people to connect, share, collaborate and learn as they do they jobs in the workplace. In this talk Jane discussed how Learning and Design (L&D) specialists need to broaden their role to support this important, and often overlooked area of workplace learning.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Some insist. Some resist. Others persist. Such is state of online learning today. But what is highly resistible for some is often passionately irresistible for others. Many are content to tinker with blended forms of learning. They dip their toes into the technology change movement by embedding shared online videos, simulations, timelines, collaborative groups, and open access articles in their courses. Others enter deeper waters and push toward the edges of what is possible. Their classes are teeter-tottering on the brink of transformation. Such instructors hand over the keys to their learners and let them drive for a bit. These risk taking instructors might enjoy reading a learner-designed wikibook, listening to a student generated podcast show, or watching the results of an international video competition. And then there are those who find themselves at the extreme edges of this learning planet. They might tap into virtual explorers, artists, archeologists, and adventurers to excite their learners. It is in such courses that scientific discoveries appear live. Mobile, virtual, and telepresence technologies become the new norm. It is time to stretch toward the edges of learning from those of us tinkering on the shores to those whose learning approaches are tottering in new directions and even landing in totally extreme or alien lands. This talk will showcase examples from all three worlds - the world of the tinkerer, the totterer, and the totally extreme. Which world will you find yourself? </div>

<span class="fullpost"><span style="font-size: 130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">HOW DO I CREATE MY OWN HASHTAG?</span></span></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">That is so easy! Just remember to </span><span style="color: #006600; font-size: small; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">keep it unique, short and simple</span><span style="font-size: small;">, because we only have 140 characters to make a point, and we certainly don't want the hashtag itself to take up too many characters.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Also, try to avoid commonly and widely used terms like '#elearning', because then you're learning stream could be diluted and overwhelmed with too many non-related tweets. For example, the 'Connectivism and Connective Knowledge 2011' hashtag is shortened to<i style="color: #38761d;"><b> #CCK11</b></i>.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">So, say that you want to have a Twitter stream dedicated to Medicine at IMU, why not call it <i><b>#imumed</b></i>? Unique, short and simple. Done!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i style="color: #38761d;"><b>“Medical Pearls teaches one essential lesson each day.”</b></i></span></div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><a name='more'></a></span></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">WHAT? </span></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><a href="http://medicalpearls.com/" target="_blank">Medical Pearls</a> </b>are a collection of free, email-based educational services for medical trainees (including medical students, medical residents and clinical fellows) that are designed to be used as an adjunct to a clinical rotation.</div><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>HOW DOES IT WORK? </b></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">Each day, students and instructors will receive a different <i style="color: #990000;"><b>clinical question by email</b></i> whose answer represents a ‘Pearl’ of knowledge in a given field. Students will work out the answer and then review the answer with their clinical supervisor. At the end of each week, they email you their proposed answers. </div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">You can work alone or with a group to learn <i style="color: #38761d;"><b>40 core concepts in each medical specialty</b></i>. Current medical specialities available are:</div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><i><b><a href="http://medicalpearls.com/topics/cardiology-pearls" target="_blank">Cardiology</a> </b></i></li>
<li><i><b><a href="http://medicalpearls.com/topics/endocrinology-pearls" target="_blank">Endocrinology</a> </b></i></li>
<li><i><b><a href="http://medicalpearls.com/topics/nephrology-pearls" target="_blank">Nephrology</a> </b></i></li>
<li><i><b><a href="http://medicalpearls.com/topics/rheumatology-pearls" target="_blank">Rheumatology</a> </b></i></li>
</ul><div style="text-align: justify;"><i style="color: #38761d;"><b> </b></i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i style="color: #38761d;"><b>Those who sign up will receive an email each weekday that contains a clinical question and/or problem</b></i>. The questions cycle is 2 months, which coincides with the length of many clinical rotations. The answer to each question, or the thought process that leads to the answer, represents a topic or concept which might otherwise be missed during the course of a clinical rotation.</div><div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">Students are expected to try solving the question independently, and then review the answer with their clinical supervisor. At the end of each week, students will receive an answer set to the week’s questions.</div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">As the instructor, you should subscribe to the appropriate list – the emails you receive will be slightly different and will provide more details about the program and suggestions on how best to use it as an educational tool.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>WHAT DO YOU THINK? </b></span></div><div style="color: #cc0000; text-align: justify;"><i><b>Do you think this educational learning tool (or approach) could potentially be useful for IMU medical students and staff?</b></i> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Are we doing something similar now? We can certainly learn more about their approach to engage the students to learn and reflect (collectively) through essential clinical questions (core concepts), which might otherwise be missed during the course of a clinical rotation. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Interestingly, they are using <a href="http://wordpress.com/" target="_blank">WordPress</a> (free and commercial blogging platform) to empower their <i><a href="http://medicalpearls.com/" target="_blank">Medical Pearls</a></i> site.</div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
