Based on my master’s thesis research, I built an interactive training module to help teach medical students how to better communicate with geriatric patients. Initially created on DVD, I have updated the module as a PowerPoint Presentation. Please feel free to download and use it by clicking on “Download PPT” above!

 

Note that the training module contains embedded youtube videos so you will need to enable media content when you open the presentation, and you will need a high speed internet connection. This presentation can only be opened in Microsoft PowerPoint. It cannot be opened in open office or on a mobile phone.

Please feel free to use this module for teaching purposes (let me know by emailing me at admin@nicolebedford.ca so I can keep track!). So far it has been used at Queen’s University, University of Western Ontario, and by a Pastoral Care group in Ottawa.

This educational video helps viewers learn how to craft a more powerful message using plain language writing. Developed based on Christine Ackerley’s Plain Language conference presentation, the video was created as a knowledge mobilization product for Carleton Scholar.

For this touching piece, I helped Oludayo and her husband Olusola put together this loving message for their two beautiful girls, Imole and Imisi. They sent me the photos, videos, and the audio recorded script, and I edited the final video. The result is this beautiful message that their children will have for years to come.
