FSLT12 was an open and free professional development opportunity for people moving into HE teaching. It was a small course (200 participants registered from 24 countries) which was focused on introducing HE teaching skills, and, uniquely, to deliberately integrate open academic practice as a vital part of professional development for HE teachers. A qualitative, case-study approach was used in the research, based on surveys, interviews, and social media, to provide evidence about how people learned in this course and consider wider implications for teaching and learning in higher education.The evidence shows that participants who completed the course were able to learn autonomously and navigate the distributed platforms and environments. The most challenging issues were acceptance of open academic practice and difficulty in establishing an academic identity in an unpredictable virtual environment. An interesting and significant feature of the course was the support for learners from a number of MOOC 'veterans' who served as role models and guides for less experienced MOOC learners.The research shows that small task-oriented MOOCs can effectively support professional development of open academic practice.
1. A radioimmunoassay for angiotensin I is described.
2. An extraction procedure for angiotensin I from blood was developed, using alcoholic precipitation to stop the renin/renin substrate reaction.
3. The normal range found for angiotensin I in venous blood was 11–88 pg/ml and in arterial blood 12–72 pg/ml.
4. Angiotensin I levels fell following bilateral nephrectomy but angiotensin I was still detected several weeks following operation.
Clearer role description and benefit realisation of the nurse case managers could be achieved by interventions that are interprofessional and focus on the tasks that matter from a collaborative perspective. This could lead to refinement of available indicators and policy developments.
This short paper contains a summary of work that is currently in progress towards the development of an intelligent, personalised tool for diabetes management. A preliminary part of the development process has consisted of a systematic evaluation of existing applications for mobile phones.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
