Distance Doctoring, Distance Nursing And
Distance Learning... All Coming Back
Distance Doctoring, Distance Nursing And
Distance Learning... All Coming Back
05/12/2004 03:58 AMThe internet makes it easier to communicate with people over large
distances, and for years we've been hearing about the power of
"distance" everything. More recently, some of that talk had died down
after the early promises of distance learning/doctoring/whatever
failed to live up to its early hype. However, it appears that the
distance concept is coming back into fashion. One after the other, we
just came across three such stories. First, is the news of a hospital
in Michigan that is using a
robot with a video screen for a head to let remote doctors talk
to and examine patients. The doctor's can control the robot from
another location (such as home) in order to look over a patient
without being there in person. Of course, the idea isn't to replace
the need for the doctor to be present, but to make it easier in
situations when the doctor is away and is needed quickly (such as to
look over something in the middle of the night when they're home).
Meanwhile, over in the Netherlands, it's not the doctors who get to
stay home, but the patients, who can now use a
webc
am system to communicate with nurses. The idea is to help out the
elderly who are confined to their homes but can't afford to have a
healthcare worker visiting them on a regular basis. Meanwhile,
outside of the healthcare field it appears that even
e-learning is making a comeback, as companies are using it more
strategically, to help keep employees up-to-date and trained - but not
relying on it as a full replacement for training programs. No matter
what, it looks like another bunch of concepts discredited during the
boom and bust years are now making a comeback.

Distance Learning For Suspended Students
Distance Learning For Suspended Students
01/05/2004 04:56 AMI've never fully understood the point of suspending students. Getting
them out of the classroom is something of a
reward for many
students - and it also ends up harming them in that they can fall
behind in their lessons. So, now, some schools are testing an
alternative for suspended students:
making them watch the lessons they're missing via a
webcam from an in-school suspension room stocked with computers.
This seems like a good idea, though, I'm sure many of the students
don't bother to watch the webcam and figure out other ways of goofing
off. At the same time, some are concerned that having webcams in
classrooms can lead to misuse - such as administrators secretly
watching what's happening. Assuming the system is set up properly,
and the teachers are clearly informed that it's there, I don't see why
this should be a problem.
Ten Efficient Research Strategies for
Distance Learning
Ten Efficient Research Strategies for
Distance Learning
05/07/2004 06:15 AMTen Efficient Research Strategies for Distance Learning by
Thomas C. Wright and Scott L. Howell, PhDh
ttp://www.westga.edu/%7Edistance/ojdla/spring71/wright71.htmAbstract by Authors:
Today's distance education
administrator, frequently with an expertise in another academic
discipline, is also supposed to be a distance education scholar. This
expectation results from the recent interest in distance learning that
nearly all institutions of learning and disciplines of study have
shown. More research, studies, journals, and essays about distance
education also exist than at any other time. A distance education
administrator and an education research librarian at Brigham Young
University have teamed up to identify ten pragmatic research
strategies to help new, busy, and even a few experienced distance
education administrators stay current in their field and successful in
their applied research. All distance education research strategies
identified were required to pass a distance administrator test for
pragmatism, user-friendliness, and efficiency. The ten research
strategies that will be covered are accessing library expertise, books
from your or others' library catalogs, academic journals, databases,
current awareness services, subscription services, distance education
Web portals, associations, listserv/discussions, and use of research
assistants. This will be added to

Legal gay marriages in the United States
Legal gay marriages in the United States
05/17/2004 03:03 PMMassachusetts has become the first state in the US to allow
same-sex couples to get married. Whether it will last or be
crushed under the weight of a Constitutional amendment I don't know,
but it's bloody wonderful in the meantime:
Other towns and cities across the state were also prepared
to wed large numbers of same-sex couples as the law came into force.
The Supreme Court ruling upheld a decision by the state's highest
court. It said that denying marriage licences to same-sex couples
violated anti-discrimination laws.
The Massachusetts ruling has fuelled heated debate across the country
- and the controversy has been particularly intense in an election
year. In a statement, President Bush said he had called on the
Congress "to pass, and to send to the states for ratification, an
amendment to our Constitution defining and protecting marriage as a
union of a man and a woman as husband and wife. The need for that
amendment is still urgent, and I repeat that call today." His rival
John Kerry - who is a Massachusetts senator - is also opposed to
same-sex marriages, but favours a more limited form of legal
recognition.
I think the issue of gay marriage only started to matter to me when
I realised that many of my gay friends actually wanted to get married.
And on the day when a friend of mine showed me a marriage booking form
online in San Francisco and I started looking for the section for gay
people and there wasn't one - It was all the same form... That
affected me too I think - to realise that while it was clearly an
issue at the moment, the whole point of this battle was about
completely collapsing that difference around relationships. That's a
pretty cool goal...

What's really wrong with the United
States medical system?
What's really wrong with the United
States medical system?
10/30/2003 09:20 PMThe United States health care system is sick. The prices of health
insurance are skyrocketing, 40 million Americans are uninsured, and
more join them every day. The uninsured are often charged
extortionate amounts of money for emergency care and forced to do
without any other kind, doctors are often squeezed to the point of
barely making a living, and the result is unnecessary deaths and
bankruptcy for many. What can be done about this? Some suggest that
the government completely socialize health care, becoming the only
payer for medical goods and services in the United States. Others
suggest "market-based" solutions incorporating tax credits for health
insurance, tort reform, medical savings accounts, and other
"conservative" ideas. However, neither of these solutions address the
real problem. Health care is already a market in the United States,
and a reasonably free market as well! However, it's the wrong type of
market. In this article, I discuss the situation as well as I can
understand and suggest some possible solutions.
Even the president of the United States
sometimes must have to stand naked
Even the president of the United States
sometimes must have to stand naked
07/15/2004 01:55 AMTwo decades ago I had the odd and daunting experience of defending
my undergraduate thesis, on several of Shakespeare's plays, before a
panel of scholars. While hardly as rigorous as the real orals a PhD
thesis is supposed to be subjected to, this encounter was part of what
my department at Harvard required for graduation, and I faced it with
some trepidation.
When I walked in, I was introduced to William Alfred, the
playwright, poet and English professor. I hadn't studied with Alfred,
and had no idea what to expect from the rumpled man. He broke the ice
with a simple question: At the start of "King Lear," Cordelia refuses
her royal father's demand for a profession of love. There's a foreign
phrase that describes her act in legal terms -- what is it?
I'm not sure how many layers of my brain I had to dig through to
find it, but somehow I retrieved the desired answer, the medieval
label for an injury to the royal office: "Lese majeste!" Alfred's eyes
twinkled; my response seemed to satisfy my interrogators' basic
requirement of literacy, and from there, all went swimmingly. (Alfred,
a brilliant and generous soul with whom, alas, I only had a handful of
further conversations, died in 1999.)
Of all things, this distant recollection popped into my head after
I finally caught up with Michael Moore's much-debated "Fahrenheit
9/11." Many words have already been flung across the political
spectrum about the movie. I will limit my contributions to this one
phrase: What Moore has, I think, accomplished, particularly in the
movie's more coherent and better-assembled first half, is an
outrageous and highly effective act of lese majeste.
George Bush campaigned as an informal man of the people, and he did
not carry a very dignified bearing into the Oval Office. (Remember
that strange boil on his face during the Florida recount?) But from
9/11 on, his team of handlers began to weave a cocoon of
larger-than-life pomp around him. Partly, it was what the nation
wanted; it was also smart political opportunism. It has, to be sure,
frayed some since the Iraq war and its attendant scandals. The "Henry
V"-style bullhorn at ground zero struck a chord with many Americans;
the "Mission Accomplished" aircraft carrier stunt backfired.
But "Fahrenheit 9/11" methodically dismantles this president's
carefully manicured dignity: It says to the viewer, "Pay attention to
the man behind the curtain -- he's smaller than life." The
movie's most indelible sequences are those that show our president as
he really was in the face of the great crisis of 9/11: Not, as we were
told by Showtime'
s "DC 9/11," a stirring take-charge commander, but a passive
photo-op participant who sat paralyzed for achingly long minutes of
"My Pet Goat" rather than take the initiative to say "excuse me" to
the class and leave the room.
My colleague Andrew O'Hehir drew a connection between Moore and Dario Fo, the Italian
playwright/performer most famous for his assaults on the dignity of
the papacy. To be sure, Moore has none of Fo's skills as a physical
clown and only a fraction of his instincts as an entertainer; Fo is an
artist, while Moore is chiefly a propagandist. Still, it's a good
comparison: The two men share a willingness -- more than that, a
ferocious determination -- to strip away the niceties of ceremony from
powerful men so that we can see their misdeeds.
That refusal of deference is, after you get past all the various
problems with "Fahrenheit 9/11" as documentary and as history, what
counts. The TV networks (though they thought nothing of rummaging
through the details of Bill Clinton's tawdry sexual escapades) have
decided to protect Bush from unflattering images. It falls to Moore to
dig up the footage of protesters pelting his inaugural limousine with
eggs, and play it for us again.
By the end of "Fahrenheit 9/11," Moore has flung his own messy
indictment at the presidential portrait, and it won't be easily
cleaned up. The filmmaker is deliberately, methodically,
overflowingly disrespectful at a moment in our history when there's
far too much respect in the land. When the throne holds an ignorant,
incompetent, profligate pretender, lese majeste becomes a patriotic
duty.
