HP 101 web conference
Description
of session
Health Promotion 101 is an on-line, self-directed course designed
for health promotion practitioners as well as those interested in
learning more about the field of health promotion. Nine modules address
the key aspects of health promotion theory and practice, including
definitions and concepts, models of health, theories of behaviour,
organization and community change, and health promotion values and
strategies. Students will become familiar with essential health promotion
concepts, and, in so doing, increase their capacity to promote healthy
changes in individuals, organizations, and communities.
THCU's HP 101 audio and web conference series will support you in
your studies by giving you an opportunity to discuss health promotion
theories, concepts, and practice with colleagues.
Participants are expected to be familiar with the online course
material prior to the session discussing it. We also encourage the
use of a Reflective
Learning Journal as described in the online course.
Participation in the web conference series is free of charge to
people who work in health promotion in Ontario. We encourage interested
applicants to register as soon as possible as enrollment will be
limited to thirty people.

Note: We will not be covering "About
the Course" or "Before
You Begin" (linked from the menu at the top of each HP 101 page) in these
sessions, but we expect that participants will have read them before we begin.
Each web conference session will have four components.
1. Infoscape
Everyone will introduce themselves and share one – brief! – media
story about health promotion or a health promotion resource.
2. HP 101 Course Q&A
The web conferences will not include lectures on the HP 101 modules,
but time will be set aside at each session to give participants the
opportunity to ask
questions about the material presented in HP 101.
3. Sharing Your Learning Experience
For the majority of our time, participants will share their insights
on the course – successes
and struggles – as well as their own experience promoting the health
of individuals, organizations, and communities. These opportunities for sharing
will be organized around the following exercises.
Session A
Module 1, Reflective Exercise 2, Comparing Definitions of Health Promotion
Module 3, Reflective Exercise 2, Linking Models to Practice
Module 4, Reflective
Exercise 2, Consolidate Your Learning

Session Summaries
Session
summaries for each of the March 2005 webconferences are now
posted at the main
HP101 course site.
These technical notes relate to the March 2005
event.
A. HP 101 Online
You will be spending considerable time on
this site (http://www.ohprs.ca/hp101/main.htm). If you have
difficulty accessing, navigating, or otherwise using the site, contact
Namita Sharma by calling 416-408-2249
x242 or writing to namita@opc.on.ca.
B. Audio and Web Conference
The HP 101 audio and web conference participants will be linked by
telephone and by an online application that allows remote sharing
of presentations, documents
and applications.
1. Check Your Compatibility with Bell's Microsoft Office Live Meeting
This web conferencing program requires no special hardware or software – just
a reasonably current computer system. Our dial-in and high-speed users have
both enjoyed it!
We request that you check out the compatibility
of your system with the Live Meeting prior to the sessions. If you
have problems, please
use the Bell technical
support. We will not spend any time during the sessions troubleshooting the
technology.
If you cannot successfully test and log on, participation by teleconference
only is fine. It would be best, however, if you were still near a computer
so you
can browse HP 101 itself during discussions.
2. Join the Web Conference
At the time of the meeting, go to [URL]
and follow the instructions in the workshop participant

Alternatively, go to [URL] and

C. Virtual Community
We have created a Learning
Community for participants to interact
in outside of the web sessions. Visit the HP 101 topic and
introduce yourself,
ask
content questions, share insights and lessons, and provide
feedback about HP101.
Visit, create a password, and participate! A tutorial
for using our virtual communities can be found here.
