Forthcoming EKM Activities

Hi all,

This week’s EKM Journal Club and Workshop have been rescheduled:

  1. The next EKM Journal Club will be on Monday 6th October at 12:00-13:50. We will be examining a paper that has been described as a “Landmark study” by the International Nursing Association for Clinical Simulation & Learning:

Hayden, J. K., Smiley, R. A., Alexander, M., Kardong-Edgren, S., & Jeffries, P. R. (2014). , The NCSBN National Simulation Study: A Longitudinal, Randomized, Controlled Study Replacing Clinical Hours with Simulation in Prelicensure Nursing Education. This study suggests 50% of clinical practice can be replaced with simulation with equivalent outcomes, so should be an interesting discussion!

Bring your lunch and join the discussion, free cookies will be available as usual. Don’t forget to RSVP to Erendira (erendira.silva@alumni.ubc.ca -just click on her name to email us) if you plan to attend!

  1. The EKM workshop: Using  and Organizing content in Connect to support Flexible Learning: Best practices (scheduled for Wednesday this week)  has been reschedule for October  23rd 12:00-13:00

As we consider ways of providing students with flexible, online blended learning opportunities, it is valuable to consider ways to share and have student interact with content online.  What are approaches that we can take to develop,  deliver and manage content effectively in the Blackboard Connect learning management system? How can we include interactive elements when we share our course content?

Join Bernie Garrett and Lucas Wright (CTLT) for hands-on introduction to organizing and sharing content in Connect

  • Learn best practices for organizing your course menu
  • Explore different Content types in Connect
  • Explore different ways of tracking students interaction with your course content.
