Statistics for Health Research
22 January 2007 (online for 10 weeks)
This online statistics course is designed for busy health and social care
professionals who need to understand the basics of health statistics without
becoming statisticians. Students can study at the time of day and week that
is best for them. Online tutorial support is provided and concepts are
applied to real-life scenarios. The course is designed around
student-student and student-tutor communication to ensure that students are
able to develop a sense of an online learning community to support and
motivate them during the 10-week duration. This course is built upon
material developed in face to face teaching on the University of Oxford MSc
in Evidence Based Health Care and was supported financially by the
Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC). The BBSRC
support was essential in getting this project off the ground and made it
possible to develop the high standard of online materials.
