A Pedagogic Experience in Designing a Healthcare Analytics Course: Lessons Learned
Parks, Rachida F.
Information Systems Education Journal, v18 n5 p4-15 Oct 2020
This study presents a contextual active learning perspective on how a healthcare data analytics course was designed and delivered to students enrolled in a graduate business analytics degree. Industry and academia emphasizes the need to integrate context-specific learning, however contextual analytics courses are not widely offered in business schools. This course's pedagogical approach seeks to address this need by embracing a contextual active approach. Such approach is based on the following key components: (1) Active learning -- designing each module of the course to include activities and lessons to promote active participation of learners, (2) contextual development -- modules are developed using healthcare as the focus and context for all activities, (3) online adaptation -- the course is delivered online in an unsynchronized mode and therefore the development adapts to online delivery intended to maximize learning. This course integrates a collaborative project with a healthcare industry partner where students analyze anonymized dataset for the purpose of a more contextual and experiential healthcare experience.
