Overview Course structure GIS for Analysis of Health Challenges First results Interim conclusions
David Martin, University of Southampton Slide 3Sept 18-19 2005
Course structure Well-established Penn State GIS Masters
programme through World Campus Leeds-Southampton online GIS Masters
programme through UKeU Demise of UKeU: Leeds-Southampton
collaborative programme with opportunity for Penn State content
More general potential for exchange of course modules – particularly at level 2 optional courses?
David Martin, University of Southampton Slide 4Sept 18-19 2005
Exchange of modules
(1) GIS programming and customization: Penn State module dealing with ArcGIS customization
(2) GIS for Analysis of Health: Southampton module dealing with GIS use for analysis of patterns of health and disease
(1) discussed first, but opportunity arose for earliest delivery of (2)

GIS for analysis of health Application-based course: GIS for disease
mapping and spatial analysis Designed as part of health pathway (companion
course GIS for health care management) Authorship: Jim Wright, David Martin, Samantha
Cockings; learning technologist: Richard Treves New module for online delivery, drawing on face-
to-face health and GIS modules
David Martin, University of Southampton Slide 11Sept 18-19 2005
Course outline (unit titles)
Definitions of health Spatial aspects of health analysis Spatial data source considerations in GIS GIS for mapping health GIS for analysis of spatial clustering GIS for analysing spread of disease Measuring and modelling risk exposure Exploring inequalities in health

Challenges
Learning design issues Which VLE to use? Alternative delivery models Different assessment regimes Student access to resources Registration and contractual
David Martin, University of Southampton Slide 13Sept 18-19 2005
Learning design GAH developed for Leeds-Southampton MSc; Good fit to prerequisites and course structure
but some adaptation required Reduce from 150 to 120 hours learning Learning objects structure inherited from UKeU
with high independence; ‘sacrificial objects’ sacrificed and recreated
Html objects; Flash presentations; activities – GIS, reflective, literature etc.
David Martin, University of Southampton Slide 14Sept 18-19 2005
Which VLE to use? Penn State world campus modules delivered
through Angel Southampton institutional VLE is Blackboard, but
modules constructed within Moodle Leeds-Southampton modules currently delivered
through Bodington Penn State students already registered and
familiar with Angel Which VLE to use?

Alternative delivery models
Solution (from Penn State): deliver through course index loaded within Angel but all content external to VLE
Tutor in Southampton (Jim Wright) using Angel, but Penn State students don’t see any difference
Tracking and communication within Angel Remote evaluation by Karen Fill (DialogPlus)
David Martin, University of Southampton Slide 17Sept 18-19 2005
Different assessment regimes Penn State submission model: online portfolios Differing student expectations of assessment
and marking UK courses: more discursive, less procedural Use marks equivalence table developed from
Leeds-Southampton-Penn State negotiation Use Penn State/DialogPlus evaluation tools
David Martin, University of Southampton Slide 18Sept 18-19 2005
Student access to resources
Adaptation of practical exercises from Idrisi to ArcGIS
Students have own GIS software Data for activities attached to objects Online references primarily open-source; all
subscription journal items identified and placed in online repository by Penn State for student access
David Martin, University of Southampton Slide 19Sept 18-19 2005
Registration and contractual Leeds-Southampton and Leeds-Southampton
Penn State agreements (NB still issues here!) Provide registration and financial models Students remain with Penn State Student pays own institution Tutor is the ‘guest’ 20/80 split of fee income Much easier to export to USA!

First results 3 students Apr 05 quarter Offer again Oct 05 quarter Positive feedback from staff and students Issues: adaptation of learning and assessment
expectations GIS nugget library
David Martin, University of Southampton Slide 21Sept 18-19 2005
Interim conclusions Robustness of (ex-UKeU) learning object model
to repurposing Viability of remote tutoring and ex-VLE content:
but we need discussion sharing tools? Organizational barriers to e-learning collaboration
are bigger than technical ones WUN global GIS academy? Online collaborations involve real people working
together…
