Course Teaching Methods Rather than have you read the material off your computer screen, we offer interactive modules that make learning more engaging. In addition, we use streamed video to demonstrate patient visits. No special equipment or software is needed to view the video; all you need is a computer with sound capability! You will also be required to participate in online discussion board as a way to involve you in the online learning experience. Here you can reflect about your personal experiences and communicate with your peers about the cases and modules The case-based discussion takes place asynchronously via a threaded discussion group. You can read and post messages when it is convenient for you. The course will require about 1~1 1/2 hours per week of your time, and is of no cost to participants.
