Course Project: Online Technology Conference

The final project is a presentation for an imaginary technology conference called in order to evaluate the impact of technology on culture. Students will pose questions of cultural concern in regard to new or emerging technologies and answer these questions in a multimedia presentation that uses scholarly research. The project will be completed in stages throughout the course and shared with the class in the final week. Students choose a new or emerging technology and ask the following questions about it (from Neil Postman, Building a Bridge to the Eighteenth Century):

What is the problem for which this technology is the solution?

Whose problem is it?

Which people and what institutions might be most seriously harmed by a technological solution?

What new problems might be created because we have solved this problem?

What sort of people and institutions might acquire special economic and political power because of technological change?

What changes in language are being enforced by new technologies, and what is being gained and lost by such changes?

Students answer these questions by doing research in the UMUC library. At least six scholarly sources must be employed to answer the questions.

Your exhibit will consist of a multimedia presentation on a particular technology and its relationship to culture. The exhibit will address the following issues regarding technology and culture:

What are some strategies you could employ to improve the health literacy of patients?

July 16, 2021/in Uncategorized /by admin

Health Literacy
In order to effectively manage their own health, individuals need to have competencies in two areas—basic literacy and basic health literacy. What is the difference? Basic literacy refers to the ability to read, even simple language. Health literacy is defined as, “the degree to which individuals have the capacity to obtain, process, and understand basic health information and services needed to make appropriate health decisions” (National Coalition for Literacy, 2009). Unfortunately, according to a Department of Education report on health literacy, only 12% of adults aged 16 and older are considered to have a proficient level of health literacy (U.S. Department of Education, 2006). Acquiring health literacy skills has become more complicated with the explosion of online health information, some credible and some misleading.
In this Discussion, you focus on how to help individuals find credible information on the Internet and develop strategies nurses can use to increase the health literacy of their patients.
To prepare:

Think about the nurse’s role in improving the health literacy of patients.
Consider the many ways patients access health information, including blogs, social media, patient portals, websites, etc.
Reflect on experiences you have had with patients who self-diagnose using online medical sources.
Using the Internet, the Walden Library, or other trustworthy sources, identify a resource that you could introduce to patients to help them evaluate the credibility of health information found online.
What are some strategies you could employ to improve the health literacy of patients?

Post on or before Day 3 your assessment of the nurse’s role in improving the health literacy of patients. Then, identify the resource you would recommend to patients for evaluating online health information and why it would be beneficial. Describe additional strategies for assisting patients in becoming informed consumers of online health information.

Select one of the artifact examples presented in this module. Your post title should indicate which artifact you have selected.

Seven Wonders of the World (You do not have to discuss all Seven Wonders, but can choose one of them to focus on if you decide to choose this artifact.)
Anne Frank’s Diary
Bob Dylan’s song “The Times They Are a-Changin’”
“Uncle Sam Wants YOU” Poster

In your initial post, answer the following questions:

What do you think the universal idea it represents is? Review the Enduring Ideas resource as needed to assist you with answering this question.
What do you think could be inferred from studying the artifact in terms of the culture and context in which it was created?
What do you believe was the creator’s intention in creating the artifact?

When responding to two of your peersâ€ posts, choose peers who selected different artifacts by looking at the title of the discussion post. Assuming the reasons given by your peers were in fact the creator’s intention, describe how this knowledge changed your view, feelings, or opinion of the culture in which the artifact was created. How do you think the artifacts potentially impacted the values of society after it was released to the public? Discuss how your own individual assumptions, beliefs, and values might shape your impression of the artifacts.
