 Ruth
Farber
Temple
University Occupational Therapy Department
Ruth Farber, Associate
Professor in the Department of Occupational
Therapy, began teaching two courses on-line two
years ago. The presenter will discuss the online
teaching process and her experience including
her challenges and triumphs. For the on-line
classes, Dr. Farber developed course work which
includes connecting students and experts
geographically dispersed, as well as using
visual representations to discuss systemic
family issues. On-line methodology, has allowed
students to talk with and learn from a national
known theoretician, as well an innovator from an
unusual international project helping people
with leprosy 'participate' in normal life
(demonstrating a key component of the
International Classification of Functioning, by
the World Health Organization). For students
studying family-centered care, description of
the process of sharing genograms (schematic
depiction of 3 generations of family's life) on
line, will be demonstrated as a way to teach
about intergenerational family issues.
Jay Segal
and Dominique Ruggieri
Public Health Department
We have learned
over the past two years that it is possible to
transfer the energy of a classroom to an online
initiative. We will present some specific
lessons learned from our two year involvement
with online initiatives designed around a 3
credit course, “Understanding Stress and
Change” This 55 minute
workshop will help motivate the online skeptics
and faculty interested in designing their first
online course. Our lessons learned will provide
a roadmap and suggestions to start
the process.
