EducationalInformatics.org(tm) : A laboratory for the study of educational informatics

EducationalInformatics.org is a laboratory for the study of educational informatics
Laboratory Goal
To improve patients' care, outcomes and lives;
By changing physician's knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors;
Through the creation and evaluation of tools, techniques, and procedures that shift learning from the classroom and lecture hall to the point-of-care.

Laboratory Description
The definition of educational informatics is the application of computers to education.

The Educational Informatics Laboratory represents the collaboration of a few like-minded individuals who endeavor to make the world a slightly better place.

We design, create, organize, operate, curate and evaluate learning tools that empower learners - from digital textbooks on CD-ROMs and personal digital assistants to digital libraries to learning collaboratories. Our work is deeply interwoven within the fabric of the new discipline of Web Science.

Our current focus is on learning tools that assist learning at the point-of-care and learning tools that allow a curriculum to unfold in practice.

Since 1989, through these tools, we have practiced a form of intellectual philanthropy.

The Internet serves an amplifier for us in that it allows the efforts of a few to have a global impact.

Our learning tools currently help over 2 million learners each year.

For the subjects of general pediatrics, pediatric education, pediatric radiology, radiology education, and naval medicine - our digital libraries have the highest impact factors on the Internet and are therefore amongst the top 10 authoritative Web sites on these subjects.

Our work has been funded by a broad spectrum of organizations including the National Institutes of Health, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, National Library of Medicine, Radiological Society of North America, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the US Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery, Apple Computer, and ourselves.
