SUNY
Mission - To promote public health knowledge, teach skills in research and practice of public health, and encourage health promotion and disease prevention by
providing continuing education and professional development for health professionals, community leaders, and the public of New York State and beyond.
Capabilities
 Project management of education and training
 Distance learning - satellite and interactive videoconferencing
 Training needs assessments
 Instructional design/redesign
 Evaluation processes
 Accredited by the Medical Society of the State of New York for Continuing Medical Education
The School of Public Health, University at Albany, State University of New York is considering offering a Masters of Public Health (M.P.H.) to be delivered by
distance learning media, primarily internet. The School is also considering the development of three certificate programs which could be taken singularly or, upon
completion of all three, qualify as an M.P.H. degree. Because internships are a very integral part of the M.P.H., students would also complete one or more internships to
gain the degree.

The Data Coordinating Center (DCC) has been a data processing resource center for the Boston University Medical Center community for the past fourteen years.
Development of research tracking tools and establishment of data collection systems are the forte of the DCC.
The DCC is comprised of 20 statistical and database programmers and 12 data managers with expertise in study design, development of computerized data collection
and tracking systems, quality control procedures, and statistical analyses. Staff are proficient at managing large and complicated data bases that incorporate varied
sources of data and that require frequent updates and merges. Staff also offer experience in computer network configuration and systems administration.
The Data Coordinating Center(DCC) has been in the business of developing database systems for over ten years. This work began with Dbase II and continues with our
current database development platform in Microsoft Access. We feel that this powerful desktop database is the best because of it's tight integration with the Microsoft
Office group of products. The DCC has developed administrative systems for Boston University's schools of Medicine, Graduate School of Medical Sciences, and the
School of Public Health. We have also developed over 50 systems for specific research projects to collect data and monitor study progress.
Standard Features
Each system developed is built around a user-friendly windows interface using Microsoft Access (see the Student Database Data Entry Form example). A typical system
contains all of the forms and reports needed to complete the task at hand. Training is also provided to allow the users to develop and generate their own reports.
Developmental Process
The first step in the process is a series of meetings to define the needs and goals of the project. Based on these discussions, the DCC will determine the system
requirements needed, estimate the cost and time required to complete the project. The next step is to begin the process of designing data structures, forms and reports
using Microsoft Access. We consider this to be an interactive process where forms and reports are developed and then presented to you on a weekly basis for your
review. Modifications are made based on your suggestions until the system is completed. As the work progresses, we often provide you a copy of the program to test
out.
Technology Required
The systems developed by the DCC can run on any Windows 95 computer with Microsoft Access Version 7 or8. The systems run best with a Pentium computer and 16
megabytes of RAM. Systems can also be developed using client server technology with Microsoft SQL.

Berkely (not sph)
ITP's mission is to support and encourage campus faculty to use technology to improve instruction.
ITP accomplishes this mission by:
 providing interest groups for faculty with similar needs and interests

informing faculty with forums, seminars, and training programs.

supporting faculty by identifying promising models for use of technology in instruction, by developing pilot projects, by characterizing faculty needs and by
communicating these needs to those providing campus funds.
The Instructional Technology Program leads the Berkeley campus in developing long-term plans and alternative models for utilizing and funding communication and
computing technologies in instruction. For example, the Instructional Technology Program is working broadly to identify alternative models for funding instructional
software, for designing instructional laboratories, and for incorporating technology into campus courses.
Faculty members are invited to visit ITP's Faculty Internet Service Center (FISC). The FISC (a) helps faculty locate services from other support units, (b) creates and
initializes webaccounts for coursesites and personal vita webpages, (c) converts documents to HTML format for course and vita webpages, (d) edits initial course and
vita webpages, (e) provides training, consulting services, and reference material to help faculty create course websites, alias lists, newsgroups, and other internet
resources, and (f) administers webservers and coursesite management systems such as WebCT.
WebCT, the FISC's main coursesite management system, provides a variety of tools to help faculty manage their courses over the web. Faculty can start using WebCT
to simply publish their syllabus and perhaps a list of online references to websites relevant to their course. WebCT also provides an extensive array of tools that help
faculty manage their course and communicate with their their students. The WebCT tool chest includes:
 an online grade book,
 student webserver accounts so students can publish webpages,
 a student annotation facility (so students can make private notes associated with each page of course content),
 page counters,
 password protection for all or some of the coursesite's webpages,
 a web-based bulletin-board for communication among all course participants,
 a real-time chat facility,
 a web-based email system,
 online (timed) quizzes and self-evaluations,
 a searchable course glossary,
 a coursesite indexing system, and
 online course evaluations.
The WebCT homepage ( http://homebrew.cs.ubc.ca/webct/webct.html ) provides documentation and a complete description of their tool chest.
The FISC also manages the Coursesite Registry (CR) , the main campus directory of course websites.
UCLA
The UCLA School of Public Health Computer Resource Services department provides technical support to the
faculty and staff of the UCLA School of Public Health. It also provides instructional computer labs for the
School. The computer lab is available as an open lab at any time there are no scheduled classes.
