Supercourse on Epidemology

We are developing a global supercourse with 2000 faculty already in 110 countries. We currently have 271 lectures uploaded. Our program consists
of:

Information Sharing: A Global academic faculty is developing and beginning to share their best, most passionate lectures in the area of public health and the Internet. This benefits all. The experienced faculty member can beef up their lectures that are not cutting edge. New instructors reduce preparation time and improve their lectures, as they can employ state of the art lectures from others.

Faculty in developing countries have access to current scientific information which they would not normally have. The concept is that of a library of lectures for all to use is in many ways similar to that of "shareware" on the computer.

Statistical Quality Assurance: We have an open suggestions system on the lectures by the global faculty to strengthen the quality of lectures. In addition, all students rate the lectures, and we will track the ratings over time using systems developed by Deming for Industry.

Teaching the Teachers: We provide high level lectures to the teachers of students in medical school, dental, etc. These are passionate lectures by experts in the field, and the teacher just "takes" them out like a library book to teach.

Hypertext Comic Book: The lectures are icon driven, and the students can go deep for more information through hyperlinks.

Mirroring: We have set up about 24 mirrored server all over the world.

Presentation Speed: We have developed approaches to speed access.

Text books: The British Medical Association has put 2 current text books on line.

Multilingual: For global use,this must be multilingual, the first lecture is in 8 languages.

Voice-Sound Video: We are using state of the art Internet voice-video systems to try this out.
