4. To be able to identify techniques for insuring that content messages are reliable, and unbiased.
Readability - what is the reading level of the user?
Comprehension - what is the baseline level of topic or content understanding by user?
Comprehensiveness - is the user interested in "Just the Facts" or the detailed analysis?
Preferred Language - what is the native language for the user/viewer?
If we imagine the user/viewer sitting in front of their computer, and just talk to them, we will probably use the correct words. One of the advantages of web based education is that tools are being created that make it easy to convert language to be better matched to the desired client preferences. Hyperlinks can quickly take the user to similar pages that are customized to their preferences.

The use of technology is continuing to expand into daily use by an ever-increasing percentage of world citizens. We'll examine how user-friendly content development tools can assist professionals in delivering useful information to clients, patients, consumers or even strangers. We will discuss examples of innovation in forming new ways of communicating in asynchronous as well as real-time modes. We will also discuss how these technologies can be used to integrate medical care systems with wellness programs. We will discuss the pros and cons of using email for medical and wellness communication. We will encourage the use of standards that insure high quality, unbiased content.
