Module 6

What did you like or dislike about taking an online course?

Online courses are convenient and I enjoyed being able to do the course work at my own pace. The problem I have with online course work is that I'm more of an auditory learner and I have an easier time remembering things if I've heard them rather then read them. The use of activities in this course have help to mediate this perference.

What topic did you learn the most about and what was your favority topic?

I learned the most from Module 2, Information Retreival and also enojoyed this the most. This module enhanced my ability perform literature search with data basis. As a graduate student and in clinical practice the ability to locate appropitate and informative information is vital and an every day occurance. The skills I learned from Module 2 helped me to do this faster and more efficiently.

If you were the instructor, and this being the first course for all DNP and Master student, what would you fo the same or different?

I'm not sure what I would do differently. My least favorite assignment was the paper evaluating the computer clinical decision support system. I'm not sure that a paper is the best means of learning about CDSS; there wasn't a lot of literature on the CDSS that choice to evaluate and that was frusterating. I do think that CDSS are an important tool, especially in EBP, so I do think that it valuable to learn about them. Maybe a matrix comparing different CDSSs would be a better reenforcement activity.
