Distance Education through the Internet Can the Internet replace the traditional classroom
teaching format? Probably not, although it has contributed extensively
to information-sharing. At any rate, new forms of global education have
been practiced in recent years, mainly serving poor and geographically
isolated areas. Ronald E. Laporte, renowned physician and Professor
of Epidemiology at the University of Pittsburgh in the United States
will discuss his experience with the development of distance training
methods in the field of public health.
Revisiting the librarian's role The panel discussion on knowledge managers will
include an analysis of new professional challenges for those in charge
of administering health data. Library professionals are the intermediaries
in this process. They are in charge of filtering information from the
moment it flows into the system until it is made available to the reader
public.
As occurs traditionally in the special parallel
activities program in CRICS, various courses will be given in tandem
with the main event. They will be available to all interested and registered
participants.
