ABSTRACT: Online discussion of drug side effects among breast cancer survivors [Pharmacoepidemiol Drug Saf. 2013] – PubMed – NCBI

Abstract PURPOSE: While patients often use the internet as a medium to search for and exchange health-related information, little is known about the extent to which patients use social media to discuss side effects related to medications. We aim to understand the frequency and content of side effects and associated adherence behaviors

ABSTRACT: A centralized research data repository enhances retrospective outcomes research capacity: a case report — Hruby et al. — Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association

Abstract This paper describes our considerations and methods for implementing an open-source centralized research data repository (CRDR) and reports its impact on retrospective outcomes research capacity in the urology department at Columbia University. We performed retrospective pretest and post-test analyses of user acceptance, workflow efficiency, and publication quantity and quality (measured

SLIDESHARE: A snapshot of MOOCs in Higher Education

Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) have been the hottest topic in Higher Education this year. Educating tens of thousands of students in one online course subtends some exciting opportunities but also a raft of pedagogical, logistical, and systemic challenges. This presentation summarises the key issues at stake and outlines a

RESOURCE: Online courses need human element to educate – CNN.com

Finally, education does not happen in isolation.Whether it's philosophy students arguing in a dorm about what Hegel meant, or fledgling Java programmers inspecting one another's code, people learn best as part of a cohort. The course material is almost secondary to the engagement. We go to college for the people.Likewise,

REPORT: Expanding Evidence Approaches for Learning in a Digital World

The report discusses the promise of sophisticated digital learning systems for collecting and analyzing very large amounts of fine-grained data (“big data”) as users interact with the systems. It proposes that this data can be used by developers and researchers to improve these learning systems and strive to discover more

Learning analytics for better learning content | Ed Tech Now

We thought you needed: large quantities of data (volume); varied sources of data (variety); semantically meaningful data (which is a similar to validity), the latter being about accuracy and the former being about having a meaningful standard in the first place, against which that accuracy can be measured. This is a complex topic

"analytics is predicated on “big data” but in education, big data will not exist until we sort out the current failure of interoperability" By spotting patterns in the data produced by students’ online learning activity, learning analytics systems should be able to help: predict student progress; inform adaptive learning strategies (sequencing digital learning activities
