Education

Teaching, learning, social software, and evidence based health care
For the Evidence Based Health Care Conference in Sicily in November they are planning to have discussion groups on 7 themes:
1. e-learning
2. Assessment tools
3. Best Teaching Methods
4. Evidence-Based Diagnosis
5. EBP Curriculum
6. Change management
7. Tools for Teaching

There is no fixed "output" for each theme, but a joint paper, a website or wiki, or simply group learning may result. Whether or not you are going to the conference we would like you to join in. So each week the organizers will open up one of the theme areas for discussion and planning, (and then summarise and move to the conference blog. Janet Harris will start the first discussion next week on Assessment Tools.
