Summary
The Purdue Repository for Online Teaching and Learning (PoRTAL) created an Open Educational Resource (OER) to improve online teaching skills. This Human Performance Technology (HPT) approach resulted in a model for designing digital repositories.
Area of Science:
- Educational Technology
- Human Performance Technology
Background:
- Online teaching presents unique challenges for educators.
- Existing resources may not adequately address the needs of instructors new to or struggling with online pedagogy.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe the design-based research (DBR) process used to develop the Purdue Repository for Online Teaching and Learning (PoRTAL).
- To present a Human Performance Technology (HPT)-Open Educational Resource (OER) Model for Designing Digital Repositories.
Main Methods:
- Design-based research (DBR) approach.
- Utilized Van Tiem et al.'s (2012) model to identify instructor challenges in online teaching from an HPT perspective.
- Developed OERs to address identified needs and embedded research within practical activities.
Main Results:
- Successfully developed the PoRTAL repository as an OER.
- Created an HPT-OER Model for Designing Digital Repositories.
- The DBR process informed the repository's design and content.
Conclusions:
- The integration of DBR and HPT provides a robust framework for developing effective OER repositories for online teaching.
- The PoRTAL repository serves as a valuable resource for enhancing online teaching skills in higher education.
- The developed HPT-OER Model can guide future efforts in creating similar digital resources.

01:40Archival Research
16.1K
Some researchers gain access to large amounts of data without interacting with a single research participant. Instead, they use existing records to answer various research questions. This type of research approach is known as archival research. Archival research relies on looking at past records or data sets to look for interesting patterns or relationships. For example, a researcher might access the academic records of all individuals who enrolled in college within the past ten years and...

01:20Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching III: Evaluation and Documentation
1.8K
Evaluation of the teaching process enables the nurse to determine if the patient's learning needs were met and if training was effective. If the expected outcomes are not met, the care plan is revised, and additional education or reinforcement is provided. Nurses can ask questions after the session or obtain feedback to assess the patient's understanding of the topic.
Nurses can use several methods to evaluate patient outcomes. For example, oral questions can assess cognitive learning,...

01:18Methods of Documentation I: Source-Oriented Records
1.2K
Source-oriented records, or SOR, are medical record-keeping organized by the data source. The SOR system was first developed in the mid-1900s to organize the growing patient data in hospitals and other healthcare facilities.
In an SOR, each discipline involved in patient care maintains a separate medical record section. This record-keeping method enables easy tracking of patient progress and ensures healthcare staff have access to up-to-date information.
Key Attributes include the following:

Today, scientists agree that good research is ethical in nature and is guided by a basic respect for human dignity and safety. However, this has not always been the case. Modern researchers must demonstrate that the research they perform is ethically sound.

01:24Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching II: Planning and Implementation
1.3K
Planning for learning involves the development of a teaching plan. Teaching plans are similar to nursing care plans—both follow the steps of the nursing process. Planning in the teaching process involves setting goals and outcomes. Here, goals identify what a patient needs to achieve to understand a healthcare topic better, whereas the outcomes are the action to be performed by the patient to achieve the goal within a timeframe. For example, if the goal is to educate the patient about...
