 First of all, I would thank our organizer for having me here to share my experience with the MOOC and especially in this crisis period, why MOOCs have become even more important than ever. So therefore, I am talking, my topic is all about promoting social distancing through MOOCs and engagement in social learning because social learning plays very important role. We will know in next few slides. So as you see here, pandemic versus infodemic. So obviously each and every one of us has experienced the pandemic. So now I will bring your focus on what is infodemic. Pandemic is about the disease caused by virus or any pathology occurring in vast population of in country and internationally. This is pandemic. What is infodemic? Infodemic is the information killing and creating panic in the population. So basically all our lives, the people who are living now, they, it's had divided into before COVID and after COVID because COVID not only devastated our economy but it has changed so much here after. It has changed our lifestyle. It has changed our behavior with our colleagues. It has changed our mindset. So before we never wanted to visit a doctor online but now we want our doctor through telemedicine. Same thing, our traditions, our cultures, everything has been changed because of COVID. But there is one more important thing that is infodemic. Infodemic is something created by human beings. So here it goes. What is infodemic? Too much information including false and misleading information in digital and physical environment during an acute public health crisis like now it's happening in COVID. Leading to confusion, risk taking and behaviors that can potentially harm health and lead to mistrust in health authorities and public health response. Why I am talking about this is, this is the key why we want to promote MOOCs because we feel I as a educator, I as a medical doctor, as a professor, I think we need to empower people. We need to give knowledge, correct information. Then they don't get into misleading information. So needs during pandemic situations, what are our needs? Definitely we need social support. We need personal education. We need to improve the management and improve the quality of life and also promote or remote, what to say, telemonitoring and self-care during pandemic situation. But to doing all these things, we need to have some basic knowledge of ourselves. And that is where I am trying to promote MOOCs. Be at social distance, but you get your knowledge. You cannot keep at home waiting for everything to get normal, then go back to your classes, go back to your schools. It doesn't work like that. So right from your home, you should try to get access to the right information. So engagement through MOOCs, because again, it's my personal experience. MOOCs play very important role in disseminating information, accurate information because here educators talk and then the learners come and they interact to each other. So here mostly it's positive, what to say, emotions will be playing and you will be learning a lot. So why MOOCs? Definitely we need healthcare awareness. If you don't know about your healthcare, people can put all stupid things in your mind, misleading information, which can be potentially harmful for us. And exploring methods for self-empowerment and engagement. Ubiquit is learning anytime, anywhere. So now you don't need to see your time, okay, nine o'clock, I need to go to my college, no. Whenever you want, just get online and see your videos and see your reading materials and start working on that. And the most another important key factor is widespread learners. In our previous MOOCs, we got people from 85 countries, 76 countries of learners enrolled in this. And what happens? Once they watch any video or watch any activity and then they start discussing, in my country, it is happening like this. In our situation, we do like this. That is called social learning. In MOOCs, social learning play very, very key role. So we should not forget our underestimate social learning. And these are our various MOOCs, like social media in healthcare and Internet of Things for Active Aging, Digital Health for Cancer Management, Artificial Intelligence for Healthcare Challenges and Opportunities and Challenges. So these MOOCs will be running time-to-time rerun. So definitely if you have not gone through them, you can just register for the next time and you can join. And I talk a brief about how Internet of Things will be useful for aging. Again, empowering elderly with a cycle course. So all my focus of this talk is how we can empower, how we can teach them, either elderly or adults or children to be master of themselves, don't get involved in some misleading information trap and become a victim of some misinformation, misleading information and disinformation. And the social impact of aging, people perform better when they are well informed. And what happens when patients see their doctor notes? So these are the few key points which we were discussing in this course and role patients role in modern healthcare ecosystem. And now we need to bring a patient's role in this epidemic healthcare ecosystem. And same thing, social computing, IoT variable device for healthy aging. We have done sort of introduction of healthy living with technologies, gamification, education, the future of healthy living with technologies. And this is what we managed to publish. And another course, this was my first MOOCs which is very interesting, which talks about social media and healthcare. And there, literally, I also published a paper on lessons learned. And what I did is I conducted a survey on digital health literacy. And if you see, where do you find information to make decision about healthcare? If you see all different variables, doctors and health websites, these are the key, what to say, point of information, source of information. So even more than doctors, people are going to the websites and knowing about their diseases. So just you go to internet and find whatever you want. You don't even do ask, you don't need to go somewhere. So this is how it's working. And this survey is done in 2010, now it's 2020. So this percentage has even drastically enlarged. Okay, then there are information seeking websites where you can get information for healthy people or newly diagnosed or chronically ill people. So these are the statistics they got. So there are wide range of websites available. So just you can go and you get enough information. But the source of information is the key. So you cannot randomly go and search and whatever published in internet cannot be true. You need to know that. So that is exactly where digital literacy comes into play. So we conducted a survey, I will be showing in few slides. Is it easy to find information? Yes, it is easy. Is it easy to judge the information you find? Can you take action seeing the information online? That is not so easy. That is what our survey tells us. Surveying the course. So online survey entitled social media and healthcare about 1,500 learners. Students means they are not like young people. There can be anyone who registered in the course. Among 4,100 learners that enrolled in the course, about 20% of learners responded to the survey. And we asked 10 questions. Five regarding finding online information. And five were judging the information they found online. And we had about their demographic of age, sex, profession, all those things. I will show those results. The 10 questions of the survey were extracted from the HLEQ. You can see the survey consortium of European Health Literacy Survey. And these are the results. If you see, more than 50% are from Europe, followed by Asia, I can say, Africa. Yeah. And then 50% of them were medical related professions. And if you see, females were 64%. And if you see the frequency, how often they use internet, most of them were frequent users of the internet to seek health related information. And the results. If you see hard and easy, 61% is easy. And almost like 41 is hard. If I compare, I can't say, and hard to find the information. But to judge, almost 90% is hard and can't find, or can't say. And only like 36% is saying easy. Then these are the five different questions we are asked regarding finding online information and about judging. Actually, you need to club this red and green because these are can't say and hard compared to easy. Then you see in judge results, you see it's so much hard or they can't say whether they can really take any decision if they find any online information. Whereas finding is always clear cut. It's always easy to find. So findings. So what we found is information. People started finding online information relating to their symptoms and treatment, advantages and disadvantages of different treatment opinions, finding online information on epidemics, retrieving medication-related information, emergency department assess the reliability of social media, vaccination, and diet-related data, getting ability to discern when to visit physician for a regular checkup. But in this COVID period, this is very important when to go to your doctor because you cannot go whenever you want because if you go, you have high risk of getting in contact with patients with COVID. So you need to be very careful. Or maximum you should use online or telemedicine tele-services. And the conclusion is health consumers found it easy to search and find health information but difficult to judge. Health information seekers with low health literacy and other related skills influenced how they evaluate the trust and trust online health information definitely depend upon their basic knowledge. And health literacy has largely ignored. Health literacy has been largely ignored and needs more education efforts at different stages with global strategy. That is why we are talking about MOOCs in this presentation. Open education is all about MOOCs and how we can deliver information free of cost to majority of population. General practitioners and quality stands produced by health institution or NGOs can help to distinguish between trustworthy and misleading information. Yeah, basically these are the things. As a takeaway message, again, I want to emphasize, now MOOCs have become even more important for us because a given post-COVID era. So now we are living in post-COVID era. So we need to change our mindset and work as need of our our. Thank you. Thank you, Dr. Shapir. Yeah, we have a couple minutes to go so on. Any questions on the audience? I like it, I like it. I like to subscribe or post like. You mentioned that because not only the MOOCs because of this pandemic. Exactly. Now we can move it. Yeah, we have some emotional things or some big psychological things that we need to address. So I think it's very interesting that you have mentioned that. Thank you. Yeah, and also I think it's very important especially for health information nowadays. There's a lot of misunderstanding or misleading information such as news or any kind of strange information. Yeah, it's important that we deliver the right information to everyone. So we want to share some more inside story of yours. For example, do you have any comments from your learners that they give you a special thoughts before? I mean, in your MOOC. You're talking, you're asking me. In your MOOC, there's a lot of elders that join in your MOOC. Yeah, so are they give you any important stories that you want to share more? So many, so many, so many because the point is a bit different because you see most of my MOOCs were before COVID. So definitely I had so much interaction that is my habit to interact with the learners. So I learned a lot from my own learners because as I told, they are from different countries with different backgrounds. So we can definitely share our experiences. So definitely in my aging course, I had more than half of my learners above 55 years of age. So that was really fantastic to see such an elderly people taking the MOOCs and really working on that. And most of the people already started buying variable device and doing some physical activity in these four weeks, of course. So that was a very good impression for me. I was good to know that there's a lot of learners that learn after the MOOCs. And then they have something in action, actually. True, true, true. This is called actionable results of our teaching. Yeah, that's even better to know from the students, let me, in university students. They probably just learn the knowledge here. And then they develop something else. But for the elderly, they are really using those things. All right, so I think comes up. Thank you, Dr. Shapia, for sharing your experience. And this session will be ending right now.
