<span>This paper reports on a study conducted in 2006 with more than 2,000 incoming first-year Australian university students. Students were asked about their access to, use of and preferences for an array established emerging technologies technology based tools. The results show that many first year students are highly tech-savvy. However, when one moves beyond entrenched tools (e.g. computers, mobile phones, email), the patterns range other considerable variation. findings discussed...

Abstract The ways in which universities and individual academics attempt to deter respond student plagiarism may be based on untested assumptions about particular or primary reasons for this behaviour. Using a series of group interviews, qualitative study gathered the views 56 Australian university students possible within their institution. results indicate wide disparate range contributing plagiarism, including: institutional admission criteria; understanding plagiarism; poor academic...

Recent research indicates that university students are interested and active in supporting their learning by using Facebook, a popular social networking website.This study aimed to add our understanding of how or effectively may be Facebook for this purpose.Researchers surveyed the extent key features use among 759 medical at one university, explored depth design conduct four groups.25.5% reported education related reasons another 50.0% said they were open doing so. The case studies showed...

Abstract Background Patient-Generated Health Data (PGHD) in remote monitoring programs is a promising source of precise, personalized data, encouraged by expanding growth the health technologies market. However, PGHD utilization clinical settings low. One critical challenges that impedes confident use these data are not managed according to any recognized approach for quality assurance. Objective This article aims identify management and such an must address, as expressed key stakeholder...

Self-quantification is seen as an emerging paradigm for health care self-management. systems (SQS) can be used tracking, monitoring, and quantifying aspects including mental, emotional, physical, social in order to gain self-knowledge. However, there has been a lack of systematic approach conceptualising mapping the essential activities that are undertaken by individuals who using SQS improve outcomes. In this paper, we propose new model personal information self-quantification (PHI-SQS)....

There are growing reasons to use both information and communication functions of learning technologies as part clinical education, but the literature offers few accounts such implementations or evaluations their impact. This paper details process implementing a blend online face-to-face teaching in education setting it reports on educational impact this innovation.This study designed an community complement series on-site workshops monitored its over semester. Quantitative qualitative data...

<span>Students now have at their disposal a range of Web 2.0 authoring forms such as audio and video podcasting, blogging, social bookmarking, networking, virtual world activities wiki writing. Many university educators are interested in enabling students to demonstrate learning by creating content these forms. However, the design conduct assessment for student-created is not straightforward. Based upon review current literature examples public domain, this paper identifies key...

Background: Research continues to present tenuous suggestions that social media is well suited enhance management of chronic disease and improve health outcomes. Various studies have presented qualitative reports outcomes from use examined discourse communication themes occurring through different media. However, there an absence published examining unpacking the underlying therapeutic mechanisms driving media's effects. Objective: This paper presents a analysis thoroughly describing what...

The environment's contribution to health has been conceptualized as the exposome. Biomedical research interest in environmental exposures a determinant of physiopathological processes is rising such data increasingly become available. panoply miniaturized sensing devices now accessible and affordable for individuals use monitor widening range parameters opens up new world data. informatics (BMI) must provide coherent framework dealing with multi-scale population including phenome, genome,...

Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) from social media use in chronic disease management continue to emerge. While many published articles suggest the potential for is positive, there a lack of robust examination into mediating mechanisms that might help explain media's therapeutic value. This study presents findings global online survey people with pain (PWCP) better understand how they as part self-management.Our aim improve understanding various health reported by PWCP paying close attention...

The preparation of the current and future health workforce for possibility using artificial intelligence (AI) in care is a growing concern as AI applications emerge various settings specializations. At present, there no obvious consensus among educators about what needs to be learned or how this learning may supported assessed.Our study aims explore education experts' ideas plans preparing work with identify critical gaps curriculum educational resources across national system.A survey...

Background The adoption of electronic health records (EHRs) and medical (EMRs) has been slow in the mental context, partly because concerns regarding collection sensitive information, standardization data, risk negatively affecting therapeutic relationships. However, EHRs EMRs are increasingly viewed as critical to improving information practices such documentation, use, sharing and, more broadly, quality care provided. Objective This paper aims undertake a scoping review explore impact on...

Background: While institutions have been keen to integrate information and communication technologies into medical education, little is known about the technological experiences of current cohort so-called ‘Net Generation’ students.

This paper reports on a national study of the present approaches in Australian tertiary education, to preparing future clinical health professionals work competently an increasingly e-health enabled healthcare sector. The argument for increasing professionals' knowledge about and informatics has been advanced repeatedly over past decades Australia elsewhere. However, peer-reviewed accounts good practice implementing evaluating education profession degrees anywhere are scarce. Our surveying...

Much research into the use of online information and communication technologies for internationalisation learning teaching has focused on established web technologies. This paper considers possible implications existing uses social software, also known as Web 2.0 technologies, which are now widely available inside outside formal education settings. The reports two studies: first, conducted at a large Australian university, investigated differences between international domestic undergraduate...
