Abstract

Saudi Arabia faces a severe shortage of nurses. An online nursing degree is being introduced as one approach to this problem. In 1999, the College of Nursing and Health Science at George Mason University formed a strategic partnership with IMED Link, a private telehealth company, to deliver online nursing education. Nine courses have been developed so far, including nursing assessment. The educational material will be distributed via Saudi Arabia's telemedicine network. The courses will be led by professors of nursing at George Mason University using videoconferencing, coupled with online computer classes and Internet tools. Both nursing content and expertise in Web technologies are necessary to develop a successful e-nursing programme.

Myco-Ed: Mycological curriculum for education and discovery.

Fungi are important and hyperdiverse organisms, yet chronically understudied. Most fungal clades have no reference genomes, impeding our understanding of their ecosystem functions and use as solutions in health and biotechnology. Also, opportunities for training in fungal biology and genomics are lacking, creating a bottleneck that hinders the recruitment and cultivation of a talented future mycological workforce. To address these issues, we developed Myco-Ed, an educational program offering training and scientific contributions through genome sequencing and analysis. Myco-Ed empowers students to pursue careers in fungal biology while improving fungal resources. Myco-Ed has been piloted at 12 institutions (15 classrooms) ranging from online e-Campuses to R1 universities, resulting in hundreds of fungal observations and many new high-quality reference genomes.
