Bipolar Module for Family Physicians
ILT Competencies Demonstrated in Bipolar Disorder Project
Reflective Practice
Take a systems view
- I took into account the context under which the learning would be executed. I understood the systemic approach of the ADDIE model to provide a framework for development and delivery of the product.
- I was aware of values and barriers of the learner.
Use cycles of reasoning as tools for problem solving
I used the Morrison, Kemp and Ross instructional design model to provide cycles of reasoning for problem solving.
Promote collaboration, partnerships, and relationships for full inclusion.
I utilized questionnaires provided by stakeholders, interviewed the stakeholders and consulted with potential users of the product.
Be a lifelong learner and professional
I utilized my newfound knowledge about the science of instruction. I had to learn three new softwares (Sqeeze, Cinematize and Final Cut Pro) and further develop my capabilities with Dreamweaver, CSS, Actionscript and Flash.
Planning and Analysis
Conduct a needs assessment
My needs assessment was provided by stakeholder input.
Conduct a learning or performance instructional analysis:
I performed a learner, contextual and task analysis.
Design and Development
Apply various theories/strategies and current research, and consider local needs and constraints to design activities and experiences for learning (with documentation)
- I tried to utilized problem based learning by guiding the learner to develop strategies that are relevant to their profession.
- In addition, I utilized a pedagogical agent to enhance learning.
Develop products and resources to support learning and performance (with documentation)
- I developed this product through the use of stakeholder input, a felt needs questionnaire, a task analysis, a learner analysis, and a contextual analysis.
- I then adhered to the given learning objectives and used sound instructional strategies based on an expanded performance-content matrix.
- Finally, I developed assessment strategies and an evaluation plan.
Management
Employing effective strategies (e.g., team leadership, collaboration, accountability), manage one or more of the following endeavors:
- I managed all aspects of this instructional design project.
- I managed the development of the technology.
- I managed the information resources (i.e. subject matter experts, stakeholders, books, and video) relevant to the instruction.
Overview: The American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) Annual Clinical Focus (ACF) is an educational initiative designed to bring members state-of-the-art clinical information on a specific area each year to assist them in providing comprehensive patient care. This year the clinical focus is on the relationship/role of genomics in a specific clinical condition and/or disease.
Each program begins with a question about the role genomics plays in physician's practice specific to the clinical topic area, includes a case study with physician/patient vignettes, a Web tour of physician and patient resources and a clinical quiz. Each module also includes information and resources pertaining to practical information, genomic principles, pharmacogenomics, cultural sensitivity, genetic testing and ethical, legal and social issues.
The Learning Goal: At the completion of this course experience, the learner will be able to communicate accurately and effectively with patients and the public about the clinical, legal, social and ethical issues involved in the burgeoning area of medical genomics, and specifically on bipolar disorder.
