The
purpose of the Social and Behavior Aspects of
Public Health Practice:
Planning and Implementation of Distance Learning
project is to develop a distance learning format for the
core public health course, Social and Behavioral
Aspects of Public Health Practice. The project will provide support to redesign the course
components for an online structure including assignments
and student evaluation.
Many health professional graduate students face
increasing scheduling problems as they attempt to
combine classroom instruction with clinical and research
responsibilities, according to project director
Christine L. Pistella, GSPH/Health Services
Administration. Likewise,
the current classroom model limits course enrollment to
those students living in the immediate area. Although
the course currently uses many of the online
communication features offered through CourseInfo, the
present structure relies primarily on the traditional
face-to-face classroom model.
The development of online instruction for this
core course increases the opportunities for students to
enroll in a public health course.
