| Abstract: This session will discuss solutions to the challenges involved with designing an evaluation course for busy and geographically dispersed medical education professionals. As a starting point for discussion, the issues faced with the design and delivery of the University of Iowa - Carver College of Medicine's new "Research Design and Evaluation" course will be reviewed. This course will be offered for the first time in the fall of 2008. It will be delivered via a mixture of online and face-to-face sessions. The online sessions will provide opportunities for students to read and reflect on the foundational principles and issues of research design and evaluation. The face-to-face sessions (about 4 per semester) will focus on applying these principles to evaluation projects. After a brief status report on this course, roundtable participants will have the remainder of the session to discuss successful practices in evaluation courses for professionals. |
