Blogs - RSS feeds let readers know when a blog has been updated. Newspapers and journals - new articles and research are published, and users are alerted via the feed. Press releases and announcements - RSS is a useful tool for formal announcements, such as those from your organization (http://www.news.gov.bc.ca/rss/). Current awareness -- News and articles updates - Google News and PubMed provide search results and updates in RSS formats, for example. 10 Reading RSS You need a free reader: { Web-based – Bloglines (http://www.bloglines.com/) or Google Reader (http://www.google.com/reader) { Standalone clients - SharpReader (http://www.sharpreader.net/) { Plugins – are integrated into software packages like Microsoft Outlook, and downloaded to your desktop 11 Finding health–related RSS feeds UBC Health Library Wiki – list of health RSS feeds - http://hlwiki.slais.ubc.ca/index.php?title=RSS MedWorm - http://www.medworm.com/ 12 Reading RSS – practical look Lets take a look in my own Bloglines account - http://www.bloglines.com/myblogs 13 What is podcasting? Audio files, thrown on RSS feed Download themselves to the subscribers’ machines Don’t need iPod 14 Why using podcasts? Current awareness alternative for busy health professionals Portable, cheap to produce, Easy to find and use (listen on the go and in your convenience) Perfect for auditory learners (some 30% of learners) 15 Health related podcasts: Brief directory of health related podcasts (from the UBC Health Library Wiki) - http://hlwiki.slais.ubc.ca/index.php?title=Podcasts_and_Videocasts #Medical_podcasts My favorites: { BBC Naked Scientists podcasts - http://www.thenakedscientists.com/HTML/podcasts/listen/ { Johns Hopkins podcasts - http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/mediaII/Podcasts.html 16 Searching podcasts: Directories: { Podcast.net - http://www.podcast.net { Apple iTunes - http://www.apple.com/find/searchtips.html Search tools: { Podscope - http://podscope.com/ 17 Recording podcasts: Easy to do with free (or almost free) tools We use Audacity to record - http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ 1 min. of recording is roughly 1MB All files live on UBC Institutional Repository - https://circle.ubc.ca/dspace/ Very popular with our users, particularly in remote communities! 18 What is wiki? An online resource which allows users to add and edit content collectively Video - http://blip.tv/file/246821 Why to use a wiki? { Wikis are participative and allow many people to work together { Software is usually free and easy-to-learn and use 19 Where to use a wiki? A conference planning committee needs a Web-based tool to keep track of their activities and who is doing what (Canadian Health Library Association, 2005-08) An executive committee is looking for an easy way to create and maintain its documents (Saskatchewan Health Information Resources Partnership 2005-07) 20 Where to use a wiki? A company would like any authorized staff member to be able to update content on its intranet as necessary, without needing to use specialist software (British Columbia Securities Commission, 2006-07) 21 Examples of wikis Wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org Wikis in Health { Medicine - http://davidrothman.net/list-of-medical-wikis/ (by David Rothman) { AskDrWiki - http://askdrwiki.com, GANFYD - http://www.ganfyd.org - expert moderated version of wikis 22 Software for wikis Examples of free wiki software: { PBwiki – http://pbwiki.com/ - free on the Web { MediaWiki – http://www.mediawiki.org - package used by Wikipedia and our own UBC Health Library Wiki 23 Problems with wikis Wikis are sometimes prone to vandalism Quality issues – since everybody can edit Spam (wiki-spam) Can be time consuming projects 24 What is Instant Messaging (IM)? A system which allows instant text communication between two or more people through a network Very popular with NextGens, Generations Y and X (young health professionals) 25 Example of Instant Messaging (IM) Using IM to provide reference services to British Columbia physiotherapists http://weblogs.elearning.ubc.ca/physio/ 26 Example of Instant Messaging (IM) Question from a physio in Northern BC – “what is the effectiveness of acupuncture for acute low back pain?” Answer – “The evidence available in the literature is limited and does not support the use of acupuncture for the treatment of acute LBP. However, the available research is generally of poor quality and reflects small sample sizes.” 27 Example of Instant Messaging (IM) 28 What are social networks? Definition: { “Virtual communities that are structured to delineate and build on relationships that members have with each other by virtue of their being part of that community.” { Video - http://blip.tv/file/282928 29 Example of general social networks MySpace – http://www.myspace.com - world's sixth most popular English-language site. Facebook - http://facebook.com - Users join one or more participating networks, such as a high school, place of employment, or geographic region. Linked-In - http://www.linkedin.com/ - LinkedIn is a business-oriented social networking site, mainly used for and by professionals. 30 Example of social networks in health Sermo - http://www.sermo.com - American Medical Association (AMA) social network. Nurse LinkUp - http://nurselinkup.com - online nursing community for nursing professionals. Tiromed - http://www.tiromed.com - professional knowledge network exclusively for students of medicine and physicians. 31 One specific example of usage of social networks in health MySpace ‘CURE DiABETES group’ - http://groups.myspace.com/cureDiABETES 32 Summary and brainstorm: Socialization is the dominant feature of Web 2.0 Web should remain an open and optimal learning space More productive?

  • Caution and Guidance for the Social Media Savvy Physician Wajid I
    COMMENTARY Caution and guidance for the social media savvy physician Wajid I. Khan1 Citation: UBCMJ. 2020: 11.2 (32-33) Abstract The advent of social media has brought forth the freedom to communicate information instantly to a large audience and its application in medicine has been beneficial for both patients and practitioners. Healthcare institutions and practitioners are utilizing the power of social media to inform and educate their peers and patients as well as the public. Patients are engaging in social discourse online, enabling them to become more involved in and informed about healthcare. It is in this climate that the matters of professionalism and patient privacy become a concern. Without a formal system of peer-review and the perception of anonymity, posting content on social media websites by healthcare providers is susceptible to crossing professional and ethical boundaries. Medical students and residents should be especially careful when posting online, as unprofessional content is common in their groups. Physicians should also be wary of self-promotion through entertainment, or “medutainment,” which can put patient privacy in harm’s way. When doctors review their intentions and follow guidelines (such as the Canadian Medical Protection Association tips) prior to posting on social media, a beneficial outcome can be achieved. ver the last decade, the accessibility and popularity of social Patient confidentiality is another concern when doctors use Omedia have empowered both patients and physicians to share social media. The tendency for online content to stray into medical their opinions and stories online. Patients are using Twitter to express education entertainment, or “medutainment,” can place privacy their dissatisfaction with healthcare,1 and joining Facebook groups at risk.

Zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades eines Doktors der Wirtschaftswis- senschaften (Dr. rer. pol.) von der Fakultät für Wirtschaftswissenschaften des Karlsruher Instituts für Technologie (KIT) genehmigte Dissertation von Dipl.-Inform. Max Völkel. Tag der mündlichen Prüfung: 14. Juli 2010 Referent: Prof. Dr. Rudi Studer Koreferent: Prof. Dr. Klaus Tochtermann Prüfer: Prof. Dr. Gerhard Satzger Vorsitzende der Prüfungskommission: Prof. Dr. Christine Harbring Abstract Following the ideas of Vannevar Bush (1945) and Douglas Engelbart (1963), this thesis explores how computers can help humans to be more intelligent. More precisely, the idea is to reduce limitations of cognitive processes with the help of knowledge cues, which are external reminders about previously experienced internal knowledge. A knowledge cue is any kind of symbol, pattern or artefact, created with the intent to be used by its creator, to re- evoke a previously experienced mental state, when used. The main processes in creating, managing and using knowledge cues are analysed. Based on the resulting knowledge cue life-cycle, an economic analysis of costs and benefits in Personal Knowledge Management (PKM) processes is performed.

The only previous study reviewing a set of health-related wikis, without specification of purpose or audience, globally showed a poor reliability. Objective: Our aim was to review medical wiki websites dedicated to clinical practices. Methods: We used Google in ten languages, PubMed, Embase, Lilacs, and Web of Science to identify websites. The review included wiki sites, accessible and operating, having a topic relevant for clinical medicine, targeting physicians or medical students. Wikis were described according to their purposes, platform, management, information framework, contributions, content, and activity. Purposes were classified as ªencyclopedicº or ªnon-encyclopedicº. The information framework quality was assessed based on the Health On the Net (HONcode) principles for collaborative websites, with additional criteria related to users' transparency and editorial policy. From a sample of five articles per wikis, we assessed the readability using the Flesch test and compared articles according to the wikis' main purpose.

  • Wikis for Health Librarians
    147 FEATURE / MANCHETTE Introducing Web 2.0: wikis for health librarians Eugene Barsky and Dean Giustini Abstract: This paper is an introduction to wikis for health librarians. While using wikis in health is now well established, their gradual rise is similar to other Web 2.0 tools such as blogs and RSS feeds. The same principles of collaboration, knowledge-sharing, and socialization apply to wikis. Easy-to-use, interactive, and built on open platforms (though not all are free), wikis offer a number of marketing and teaching opportunities for health librarians. Ironically, owing to the prominence of Wikipedia, which paved the way for the broader acceptance of Web 2.0 technologies, wikis are moving be- yond the collaborative writing of encyclopedia entries. Wikis are now used for all kinds of projects, from managing inter- nal library content to revising important reference sources such as the International Classification of Diseases (ICD). That said, some physicians and librarians express grave concerns about using wikis to create reference works—particularly, how questionable authority and editorial controls may result in medical errors. We argue that wikis were not necessarily meant to replace trusted print and digital information. When used responsibly as part of an overall content management plan, wikis can enhance our traditional collections and services. The authors predict that wikis will continue their rise in medi- cine through 2008, which will lead to other creative uses and applications in health libraries. 150 Barsky and Giustini Introduction velopment and evolution as a result of user interaction.

  • INTED2009 Conference Paper
    ENHANCING MEDICAL CURRICULA VIA ONLINE PROBLEM BASED LEARNING – EXPERIENCE USING WEB 2.0 TECHNOLOGIES P.D. Bamidis1, S.Th. Konstantinidis1, C. Bratsas1, E. Kaldoudi2 1School of Medicine, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki Thessaloniki/Greece 2School of Medicine, Democritus University of Thrace Alexandroupolis/Greece [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract During the last few decades, medical education is increasingly embracing active learning approaches. This shift from teaching to learning is also strongly related to an involvement of information and communication technology, and especially the Internet and the Web. The emergence of Web 2.0 is indeed being stressed as a promising tool for advanced support of medicine and medical education. Although Web 2.0 emphasizes on participation, it is used, in the majority of cases, as for content provision (albeit the dynamic creation of content via user/peer participation and collaboration) and subsequent delivery to students. In this paper, we shift the aforementioned emphasis of the use of wikis and blogs towards active support for problem based learning in medicine. The approach is based on a blended learning scheme, where e-learning is actually complimentary to traditional classes (lectures, demos and labs), and it utilises the Moodle open source learning environment. Work is illustrated along three main objective lines: (a) deployment of problem-based sessions in virtual teams, where both students and instructors may be located in remote institutions; (b) provision of tools for student inquiry and collaboration; and (c) provision of mechanisms for continuous monitoring/assessment and evaluation, thereby, addressing direct knowledge, as well as, any tacit competencies targeted via PBL.
