WARNING: Be Prepared to Work Hard This was the only part of the class that will go at this nice pace There is a LOT of materials for me to cover You will not have another dedicated time to learn this, but things you learn in this class will be useful to you as you are looking for a job, and on the job. So I want to teach you as much as I can this semester. If you feel you are lost, please come talk to me. I will try to help. If majority of you come talk to me, I will slow down. If you don t give me input, I will assume the pace is fine. Much of this class is like a math class You will get as much as you put into this class In the end, either you will have learned it and know it or not You will learn the most by doing (actively learning). Like learning to play an instrument.
Last thoughts This course is intended for students with little or no background in computer technology. The intent it not to train experts in computer technology, but to build enough understanding of the basics of the technology and data so that you can manage IT projects (e.g., evaluate software products and consultants), effectively communicate and collaborate with IT personnel, use data effectively, ultimately make good decisions about HIT All are key skills in health care management.
HIT?
Reminder (1:30)
Online Section The most important aspect of online learning You MUST take charge of your learning As you follow along, seek help (office hours, email) when you are lost Use online forum
Due dates Roughly 1-3 day lag Most issue at the end: finals on same day Watch video for the week: by Thur? Post: tues/wed Due every Thur? midnight (vs Sunday midnight)
