Doug Lawson

Feb. 19, 7:30 am-9 am
Mini-Workshop: Light breakfast and discussion regarding Team Learning. Does Team Learning have a place on a natural health care campus? What could this mean for the professor, the student, and the curriculum?

Feb. 19, 3:30 pm-5 pm
Question and Answer Session: This is a free-flowing session in which ANY topic is fair game – from curriculum development to competency assessment. The best answer to your question might be “I don’t know”, but here is a chance to bounce some questions around with Doug and the other faculty present. This session will be based on faculty needs, so feel free to drop a note to Dr. Lawson with any issues you would like to see discussed (dmlawson@ucalgary.ca).

Feb. 20, noon-5 pm
An interactive Faculty Development Workshop, including:

Student evaluation through the use of extended-matching questions (EMQs). Why have the Canadian Chiropractic Examining Board, the Medical Council of Canada, and the National Board of Medical Examinations moved to extended-matching items? The advantages and disadvantages of EMQs will be presented in a workshop format where participants will be able to practice the development of EMQs in their area of expertise.
Managing classroom examinations: from question development to question banking. Dr. Lawson will be providing each participant a question database management system based on Microsoft Excel. Participants will have the opportunity to create questions, bank them, create an examination, score an examination, and update the databank with the relevant question statistics.
Lunch will be served from noon to 12:45. Join us for a delicious way to start our session.
