A cross-countries and interprofessional novel approach for delivering an international interdisciplinary graduate health informatics course online is presented. Included in this discussion are the challenges, lessons learned, and pedagogical recommendations from the experiences of teaching the course. Four professors from three different fields and from three universities collaborated in offering an international health informatics course for an interdisciplinary group of 18 US and seven Norwegian students. Highly motivated students and professors, an online technology infrastructure that supported asynchronously communication and course delivery, the ability to adapt the curriculum to meet the pedagogy requirements at all universities, and the support of higher administration for international collaboration were enablers for success. This project demonstrated the feasibility and advantages of an interdisciplinary, interprofessional, and cross-countries approach in teaching health informatics online. Students were able to establish relationships and conduct professional conversations across disciplines and international boundaries using content management software. This graduate course can be used as a part of informatics, computer science, and/or health science programs.
本文介绍了一种跨国界、跨专业的新颖方法，用于在线提供国际跨学科研究生健康信息学课程。本讨论包括该课程教学经验中的挑战、经验教训和教学建议。来自三个不同领域、三所大学的四位教授合作，为18名美国学生和7名挪威学生组成的跨学科小组提供了一门国际健康信息学课程。积极性很高的学生和教授、支持异步交流和课程交付的在线技术基础设施、使课程能够适应所有大学教学要求的能力，以及高等管理层对国际合作的支持，都是取得成功的因素。该项目证明了跨学科、跨专业和跨国界方法在线教授健康信息学的可行性和优势。学生们能够使用内容管理软件跨学科和跨越国界建立关系并进行专业交流。这门研究生课程可作为信息学、计算机科学和/或健康科学课程的一部分。
