SOCR Wiki: Scientific Methods for Health Sciences
Electronic book (EBook) on Scientific Methods for Health Sciences (coming up ...)
Preface
This is an electronic Internet-based Scientific Methods for Health Sciences (SMHS) EBook. The materials, tools and demonstrations presented in this EBook may be helpful to learners, instructors and scientists involved in biomedical, healthcare, Big Data, and informatics studies. The EBook is initially developed by the University of MIchigan Statistics Online Computational Resource (SOCR). However, many students, faculty, educators and member of the community participate, and others are encouraged to take part, in expanding, improving and validating the content of these learning materials.
There are 4 novel features of this specific EBook. It is community-built, completely open-access (in terms of use and contributions), blends information technology, scientific techniques and modern pedagogical concepts, and is multilingual.
Format
Follow the instructions in this page to expand, revise or improve the materials in this EBook.
Learning and Instructional Usage
This section describes the means of traversing, searching, discovering and utilizing the SMHS EBook resources in both formal and informal learning setting.
Copyrights
The SMHS EBook is a freely and openly accessible electronic book developed by SOCR and the general community.
