Module 6

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

I really don't like taking online courses because I learn best in the classroom with lecture. However, I did learn a lot through this course. This course has been effective because normal things that I would not do like creating a Blog I have done. I have found that it really isn't that bad and I shouldn't be so nervous about trying new things with computers.

What topic did you learn the most about and what was your favorite topic?
I learned a lot about website evaluations and if they are credible or not. I think applying this to practice is essential as a practitioner because patients are constantly self diagnosing or turning to the internet for medical information. If we can direct our patients to websites that can enhance their care then they will have correct information and better outcomes.

What did you like least?
I had a difficult time with Module 5. I wish this could be taught in a different format. I struggled posting to the discussion board and understanding the websites that we were to gather information from. Maybe an online lecture with a power point and a podcast would make this better. For me I struggle with just looking things up and learning, but for some reason the concepts failed to sink in.

Do you have any other comments for us?

In general, I learned a lot from this course and a lot of my fears of informatics were decreased. However, I still think that when a whole course is taught online it would be nice to have different formats for understanding some concepts. The book was boring and I felt it was vague when discussing websites like those for Module 5.
