 On-line Introductory Research Modules
A set of on-line introductory research modules are available on the Learn JCU website, through the Blackboard Learning SystemTM. Access is available to ALL Primary Health Care (PHC) practitioners and students who send a registration email with their name, contact email and organisation to phcred@jcu.edu.au
Modules include:
- Qualitative Research for Health Professionals (a suite of six modules)
- Writing for Publication
- Primary Health Care Evaluation
- Program Planning and Evaluation using the Log-Frame Method
- Adult Learning
The modules are an introduction level resource for novice researchers. Equally they can be a refresher course for those who have been away from research practice for a time. They were written with Australian urban and rural primary health care practitioners in mind so the content uses examples which we hope you can identify with in your practice. Each module includes practical exercises and guides and links to further reading and resources. They have been extensively reviewed by experts in each field and are designed to be easily accessed through dial-up email systems. Discussion forums will keep users up to date with developments in each field.
Please note that you will not be able to register using a ‘free' email provider.
