Sommario/riassunto

Transforming an organization that offers traditional courses into one that offers distance and online courses is no easy task. It should be understood that we work with subject matter specialists who have, in most cases, always presented their teaching in face-to-face mode, in the classroom. Few of them have planned their lessons systematically. However, this planning is an absolute necessity when considering offering distance education. According to Professor Robert Brien, father of educational design in the Francophonie, "the course development model proposed by Professor Power, in his book, is flexible and constitutes an important contribution to the development of the courses of a training program". This book, written in the affordable diary style, takes readers through the day-to-day process of college course design, the very heart of knowledge creation and organization



into instructional units. Through ten case studies, the author presents the complexities inherent in this operation, the obstacles encountered by the actors, the gradual emergence of a new design model, in the environment of a university world in full swing. mutation which is little explored in the literature.

Sommario/riassunto

Interpreting Biomedical Science: Experiment, Evidence, and Belief discusses what can go wrong in biological science, providing an unbiased view and cohesive understanding of scientific methods, statistics, data interpretation, and scientific ethics that are illustrated with practical examples and real-life applications.    Casting a wide net, the reader is exposed to scientific problems and solutions through informed perspectives from history, philosophy, sociology, and the social psychology of science.    The book shows the differences and similarities between disciplines and different eras
