Duolingo - An excellent example of eLearning and gamification
I've been using Duolingo to study Spanish. The format makes a lot of sense to me and is an excellent example of using gamification principles in eLearning. Take a look at the article from the eLearning Mind website: http://elearningmind.com/now-youre-speaking-language-duolingo-teaches-us-microlearning/I appreciate the degree of user control, easily managed modules, multiple means of interaction, user reinforcement and the opportunity to ask questions/engage in social learning with other students.If you haven't seen Duolingo, (http://www.duolingo.com) it's very much worth a visit. And to top it off, it's free! (Source: The Digital Hornbook)

CME: Online Medical Education Could Revolutionize Training in Emerging Markets
A recent article published in Forbes argues that online medical education has the opportunity to revolutionize training for doctors and nurses in emerging markets.

Minds on the Edge
The one-hour television program zeros in on wrenching and confounding situations that are playing out every day in homes and hospital ERs, on city streets and school campuses, in courtrooms and in jails, as Americans struggle with the challenges of severe mental illness.

Misinformation is the worst thing for patients trying to navigate the baby business.

They naively trust everything their doctor tells them - and this blind...
