| Professor Shawn McCombs -- Fall 2007 Section 06037 Last Updated 11:50 PM 07/29/2007 |
|||
| COURSE SUMMARY: | |||
| This course is designed to help you explore, understand,
and appreciate how health information is communicated and disseminated
through a variety of technologies and various channels of communication
delivery. Students will participate in an examination and analysis
of selected health Internet resources, Television programming, Kiosks,
and other related technology-based materials.
In addition to investigating select websites (such as NIH and
CDC, a representative sample from non-profit health-driven organizations
such as the Alzheimer's Association, Women's Health Fund, and
American Cancer Society), students will become familiar with informal
online support group facilitators and liasions, and will have
the opportunity to observe and report about how individuals manage
key health crises.
