Reflect on the similarities and differences between self-directed learning (andragogy) and self-determined learning (heutagogy). What differences are there in class activities and assessments? How would this differ in the online, hybrid, and face-to-face environments?
Write an essay in which you summarize and analyze this concept from douglass’s autobiography

Every public health campaign or program initiative should be evaluated for effectiveness otherwise it would be unclear as to whether the campaign or program achieved the desired results. Consider what type of evaluation would be appropriate for your campaign and if the evaluation measure you select evaluates the expected outcomes. Otherwise you may create change, yet be unable to evaluate its effect or success.
For this Application Assignment, you will use what you have learned in the previous weeks to continue to create your Communication Plan by selecting and justifying the implementation and evaluation process best suited for your campaign.
Using the Communication Plan Guidelines handout in this week’s Required Resources, complete Part IV of your Communication Plan.
In a 6- page report to the board of directors (not including title page or references):
Assess operations requirements and resources for Pediatric Hospital. Describe what is working and what is not working.
Conduct a quantitative and qualitative benchmark literature review and scan of operations best practices (from the health care industry or outside the health care industry) and provide and evaluate an example of an initiative that a high-reliability health care organization has implemented, and indicate how Pediatric Hospital can implement that initiative.
Evaluate Pediatric Hospital’s readiness for the transition of health care systems from a volume- to value-based delivery system. Using data provided in this case, provide relevant and practical recommendations to improve its readiness and how it might affect the implementation of the initiative.
Analyze the operational implications of 2–3 current health care reforms and mandates that might affect the implementation of the initiative.
Consider current and future trends and forces in operations management excellence and assess how these can help this Pediatric Hospital and other similar health care organizations to become a sustainable model for high-reliability organization.
Describe a situation or decision that you made during your professional career which you recall with regret. Trace the cause and effect process which led to the undesirable outcome and offer an alternative approach which may have proved preferable. What were the contributing factors that led to the undesirable outcome? What might you have done differently? What lesson did you learn from this experience?
Often, people think that ETL (extract, transformation, and load) is all there is to ensure data quality. There is a lot more to data quality than ETL; however, a data analyst should be familiar with ETL basics: processes, techniques, and tools. Data mining models may not perform well with inaccurate data or dirty data. The time to train and test a model may cause a project to fail when data is sparse; sparse data may lead to more time during exploration and finding better data to use for training. Understanding the basics of data management to include data quality may help a data analyst take less time to succeed with their data mining project.
1. Explain how extract, transform, and load (ETL) can affect data quality, data management goals, and affect data mining projects positively and negatively.
2. Describe how cleaning tools are used to prepare data for data mining projects.
3. Explain how to use SAS to create tasks and data flows.
4. Explain how to ensure data integrity can enhance a data model with SAS.
Effective implementation of a public health campaign includes strategic marketing methods, appropriate timing, and monitoring (Resnick & Siegel, 2013). Review your communication plan and consider ways you plan to implement your campaign and how the timing is critical to its success.
It is not uncommon to experience some barriers in the implementation of a public health campaign. For example, funding sources might be delayed, stakeholders in communities may decide to withdraw their participation, or technology may temporarily collapse. Consider possible barriers or challenges you might face in the implementation of your public health campaign and how you might address those barriers.
Post a brief explanation of how you might implement your public health campaign. Then explain two potential barriers which might impact the implementation process and one way you might address one barrier. Be specific and use examples to illustrate your points.
