In saying that an online class lacks important experiences for students, one of 
the problems I see in that is that there are many schools which have given up 
using rats in their experimental classes because the regulations and the 
expenses they create make it impossible to have animal labs.  It would seem 
that a virtual conditioning experience is better than none, while agreeing that 
the live rat shaping is better than Sniffy.

Re: [tips] assessment software experience?

[taylor]

I believe that most accrediting agencies want departments to develop their own 
assessments; but for those who do not feel equipped to do so, or who are too 
(lazy? oppositionally defiant? overworked? not sufficiently invested in 
metacognitive self-regulation of their own work?) I guess pre-packaged software 
is one way to go

Before it came up on this list, I was not aware of such software, just because 
we are strongly committed at my institution to the premise that if we're going 
to do assessment, we want to develop it ourselves.

Of course, if the software helps with delivery and/or scoring then that would 
be most helpful.

Perhaps those who are using such software could provide us with a description 
of what it does.

Re: [tips] assessment software experience?

[Claudia Stanny]

Annette asks for a description of these software packages.

The software packages are just data management systems for exisiting
assessments.

They don't come with "canned" assessment measures.  They just organize and
create reports based on the measures (frequently locally developed) that
faculty input.

They have nice features like tools for creating curriculum maps, storing
rubrics online, archiving samples of student work, etc.

UWF doesn't currently use a system institution-wide, but that discussion is
underway.  The College of Business has used a systems for several years to
manage its data for AACSB accreditation and Teacher Education uses a system
for tracking data relevant to NCATE standards.

I've looked at a few systems and they have some very attractive features.
My greatest fear is the tendency to see an empty box in a form created by a
data base and feel compelled to fill it with something, whether that
something is meaningful for evaluating student learning or not.

Re: [tips] Psychiatry screen

[Claudia Stanny]

I looked at this site and had two responses:

My first response:  Might this be a useful tool to help an individual
entering (or thinking about entering) treatment for depression?  It might
provide an incentive to seek care (there are already plenty of sites like
this on the web and the screen doesn't look any worse than the ones
physicians commony administer to patients in their offices to initiate a
converstation about depression).  For an individual who has begun treatment
for depression (with or without medication), the site provides a tool for
tracking progress.  Wouldn't it be interesting to see how people undergoing
treatment fare if they can track progress once a week?  Might this improve
complaince with treatment?  I have no answers on that one - I think it is an
interesting question.

Second response (the bone chill response):  What happens to that data stored
on the site?  Is this a HIPPA-certified site?

RE: [tips] Psychiatry screen

[Rick Froman]

I don't have a problem with a 3-minute screening test that sends you to the 
doctor if you get a high score as long as it is based on proper diagnostic 
criteria. The popup before you take the screen says "This form is not a 
diagnostic instrument..." and goes on to say that it should only be used in the 
context of medical treatment and the results should be shared with your 
physician.



The paradox here is that it may be unlikely for someone who is suffering from 
some of these mood disorders to take a survey like this.



I took the test and got the following result:


My Mood Monitor(tm) Assessment Report

Date taken: 15 Mar, 2010


Your M3 checklist responses suggest that you are not suffering from a 
significant mood or anxiety disorder at the present time. However, before 
closing the book on this matter there are a few points you should consider.

* A small percentage of individuals with mood or anxiety disorders fail to be 
picked up by the M3 checklist. Therefore, if despite reaching this point you 
find yourself experiencing troubling mood or anxiety related symptoms then you 
should certainly present your concerns to your primary care physician or 
perhaps to a professional mental health clinician.

* A tendency to underestimate the effects of your symptoms on friendships, home 
or work life may have resulted in an "all is well" report when perhaps this is 
not strictly true. Call it "denial," not wishing to complain, or simply trying 
to "tough it out," under-reporting trouble could backfire and cause you more 
distress in the future. Avoid the pitfall of assuming that the way you feel "is 
to be expected considering my circumstances." While bad feelings are naturally 
the result of difficult and stressful life situations, mood and anxiety 
disorders are real medical conditions that may be triggered by such stresses. 
When they do arise these conditions make it more difficult to cope with the 
problems confronting you and so it is always in your best interest to get them 
treated.

* Milder or sub-clinical varieties of mood and anxiety occasionally develop 
into more serious conditions. In such instances, symptoms may be less severe 
but nonetheless distracting or annoying, slowing you down or making things more 
stressful than they should be. If you feel this may apply to you, you should 
consider raising the issue with your physician, and sharing your assessment 
report.

* Mood and anxiety disorders typically come in episodes. Therefore, even if you 
are feeling fine now, it is in your best interest to revisit this checklist 
every 6 months or so. Naturally, if at any point you find yourself experiencing 
some of the symptoms described in the M3 please return and repeat the checklist 
at your first opportunity.




The first paragraph doesn't bother me and it seems fairly responsible 
throughout, however, I must say it seems a bit overly concerned about making a 
Type II error. My greatest concern is with this statement: "Avoid the pitfall 
of assuming that the way you feel 'is to be expected considering my 
circumstances.' While bad feelings are naturally the result of difficult and 
stressful life situations, mood and anxiety disorders are real medical 
conditions that may be triggered by such stresses. When they do arise these 
conditions make it more difficult to cope with the problems confronting you and 
so it is always in your best interest to get them treated."



I would say that entirely depends on your circumstances. If you are currently 
grieving a real loss, I would expect you to be suffering severe grief not 
clinical depression.

Having served for a number of years as a Clinician I went to the website and 
took the test.  It consists of the same line of questions that a clinician 
would ask a client.  The report that the individual gets is filled with 
cautions and caveats and essentially says that you should go see a 
professional.  I don't see much wrong with that.
