what’s missing?• Opportunities & pitfalls

"International" vs "Global" Health
Why now? Globalization’s impactCauses of inequities – how to diminish them

Development: global inequities > instability
Desire to be “good global corporate citizens"

Growing need for trained personnelMillennium development goalsGrameen foundationMillennium village project
Needs are in the global south …
… instruction is mainly in north
Distance learning is the answer, and
courses are proliferating, but
quality rivalling classroom instruction is elusive
![Page 7: Iraj Poureslami , Dave MacLean, Tom Hall, Steve Corber , Arun Chockalingam , Barb Berry,](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062310/56816662550346895dd9f013/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Distance learning – the futureSuccess → proliferation
• undergrad / graduate streams, conferences
• universality of subject matter
• geographical distribution of audiences

Opportunity: Infrastructure Exists
1. Individual online course packages - fee-based
– some shared freely2. Free but public domain resources
notably the Global Health SuperCourse3. Free quality-controlled compendia
4. For-profit "ePacks" by textbook publisherslinked to course management systems
notably the Global Health Education Consortium

5. Well funded educational consortia

The task
• Elucidate – as a health researcher• Educate – as an informed practitioner• Advocate – as a health activist • Agitate – as a concerned citizen
select future leaders in global health give them the best possible resources to safeguard the health of the world's populationto improve quality of lifeto reduce disparities.

• toolboxes for change-agents who seek to diminish health inequities
Hazards• waste of effort • inadequate design • product overlap • quality control

Raising the barExamplars that set a standard – note:
Raises question then provides information
“Granularity” (modularization)
Case studies – learner as researcher
Learner centred instruction
Relevant to situations in which info will be used
Evidence-based practice

Barriers to collaboration
rebranding existing materials.
institutions need to cover costs and earn income
differences regarding content and emphasis
a degree of band-wagon jumping
differences regarding quality control
territorial issues
