title: Replication Data for: Patterns of Urban Governance: A Sequence Analysis of Long-Term Institutional Change in Six Canadian Cities

description: How do the institutional structures of urban policymaking develop over time? To answer this question, scholars have often focused on one of three contexts: the city in which a set of policy institutions exists, the higher‐order government with legislative authority over those institutions, or the policy domain in which a policy task is administered. Few studies have compared the relative importance of these contexts for understanding the long‐term development of urban policy institutions. In this article, I compare long‐term sequences of urban policy institutions, understood as the historical development of the formal institutional structures in which urban policies are developed and administered, across six Canadian cities, three provinces, and five policy domains. I use optimal matching methods to compare the sequences, and I find that patterns of resemblance among the sequences are most clearly sorted by policy domain, with shared province playing an important secondary role. These findings point toward a new research agenda for urban governance scholars, one less focused on individual cities and more attuned to the ways that cities operate as actors and sites within broader policy fields that operate not only across the boundaries of individual cities, but across the boundaries of higher‐order governments as well.

title: Replication Data for: Who Has School Spirit? Explaining Voter Participation in School Board Elections

description: This research note examines the correlates of turnout in Canadian school board elections. Using individual-level data from the Canadian Municipal Election Study, we find that gender, education, left-wing ideology, Conservative partisanship, and parental status were associated with participation in Calgary’s 2017 public school board elections. Some of these patterns relate to the specific details of Calgary’s 2017 election; others, we suggest, may be characteristic of school board elections more generally. We relate our findings to the literature on ballot roll-off and low turnout elections.

title: Replication Data for: Multilevel Policy From the Municipal Perspective: A Pan-Canadian Survey

description: Building on in-depth case studies and extensive theory-building by Canadian multi- level governance scholars, this article identifies and describes multilevel policy involvement by federal, provincial, municipal, private, and NGO actors in three policy phases and eighteen policy domains that specifically involve local governments in Canada. Drawing from an original pan-Canadian survey of municipal mayors and councillors, we show that municipal politicians see multilevel policy involvement as remarkably prevalent across many policy domains. Using an original measure of multilevel policy involvement, we identify the policy domains in which policy involvement is most concentrated or fragmented and then describe the correlates of this measure. Multilevel policy involvement, we argue, is more clearly associated with policy phase and policy domain than with municipal population or region. We conclude with a discussion of implications for future research.

title: Context in cross-system analytics

description: The problems of tracking learner behaviours across multiple educational information systems and platforms and the lack of integration between these systems has been a challenge for years. Recent approaches using activity metrics, sent to an intermediary Learning Record Store, are more promising. The use of context-aware scenarios, learning designs that are designed to make the best use of activities, requires a context identifier in order to collate metrics from these disparate systems into a cohesive data stream in order to support cross-system analytics

title: QuRE and Process Mining

description: With over 3 million referrals and consultations between specialists and primary care providers in Alberta each year, the Quality Referral Evolution (QuRE) has rich scope for improving the quality of communications in the requisition/reporting processes. Using a series of educational interventions such as workshops and reminder cards, the QuRE team has been widely recognized and adopted outside the province. But the consultation process is a complex and fragile set of multiple steps. This technical report describes how activity metrics derived from the electronic medical record (EMR) and captured in an intermediary Learning Record Store (LRS) can provide a powerful mechanism to interface between the clinical and educational activities in the workplace. However, while some simple metrics and reporting can be derived from the LRS directly, there is more to be gained by bringing process mining tools into play.

title: DYED: Donate Your Educational Data

description: This is a collaborative dicussion document. You can comment directly at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BoQTKOD-7jmb1bmltNfQvEOgUzgsaZ8uJjzWvqThi2c/edit?usp=sharing We need a secure repository to allow people to donate their data to science (instead of their body). There is a long tradition of donating your body to science, but today, with the increasing availability of virtual learning platforms, fewer and fewer medical schools now accept such donations. Generating good case materials such as virtual scenarios, with realistic imagery, lab and diagnostic data, on the other hand, is increasingly challenging because widespread uptake of such virtual scenarios has left clinical instructional designers with a widening gap between demand and the ability to respond to that demand.

title: CURIOS video mashup web service

description: CURIOS is a standalone web-service but it works well with OpenLabyrinth for managing roles, access and slugs. CURIOS is a video mashup generator for YouTube videos. You can create slugs which are metadata pointers to segments of existing YouTube videos, with a start time, end time. You can also annotate the video or add a second sound track. The slug code that is generated can be inserted into HTML source code in a wide variety of applications such as WordPress, Moodle, OpenLabyrinth, OLab4. The original YouTube video is not altered at all. While we suggest that you ask the owner of the original YouTube video for permission to link to their video in this way, but in most regions, this is not required and is not a breach of copyright. The original YouTube video must permit embedding for this mashup service to work. For more information on how to use this service, see https://openlabyrinth.ca/curios-video-mashups-user-guide/

title: Mildred Blonde

description: The Mildred Blonde Dizziness Case is designed to get learners thinking about how to approach a patient complaining of dizziness. Mildred is a 78 year old woman who is cheerful and friendly, despite giving vague answers to most of the questions that the she’s asked. The case gives students an opportunity to progress through various pathways, with some more direct than others. The main learning objectives are to 1) differentiate between dizziness and vertigo on history, 2) interpret the findings of the physical examination, including the Dix Hallpike maneuver, 3) provide a differential diagnosis for dizziness and vertigo and 4) describe initial workup and management of dizziness and vertigo. This case is broken into several main sections, starting with 1) Mildred’s initial complaint of dizziness and an opportunity to ask her questions; 2) an initial diagnosis (choose the best three) 3) reviewing Mildred’s current and recent medications for possible adverse effects 4) physical examination steps 5) updated diagnosis and 6) recommended management of symptoms. The learner is encouraged to investigate, explore, ask questions, and make decisions based on realistic clinical encounters with the patient. Very little background about the patient is provided at the start of the case. As the learner moves through the case, the medical facts of the case are revealed. The learner will be required to engage general principles of history taking, consider principles of reflective practice, see how their attitude towards the patient affects the outcome, and is challenged to bring new ideas and approaches to the care and treatment of a patient with dizziness. This case was developed as part of the CFPC SharcFM series.

title: Emil, Palliative Care

description: Emil (Palliative Care) Case allows students to work through a realistic patient visit and subsequent interactions with Emil, a 72 year old male with an 8 month history of non curable non small cell lung cancer. The main learning objectives are to explore some issues surrounding end of life care such as understanding appropriate Palliative Care Symptom Management, exploring the different components of a goals of care discussion for advance care planning with a Palliative Care patient and his/her family and increasing the comfort level for discussing what to expect as death nears with the patient and family. This case is broken into three main sections – Emil's initial visit, which includes the assessment of his symptoms and an initial diagnosis; the therapy that you choose thereafter; and a follow-up visit after one month. The learner is encouraged to investigate, explore, ask questions, and make decisions based on realistic clinical encounters with the patient. Very little background about the patient is provided at the start of the case. As the learner moves through the case, the medical facts of the case are revealed. The learner will be required to engage general principles of history taking, consider principles of reflective practice, see how their attitude towards the patient affects the outcome, and be challenged to bring new ideas and approaches to the care and treatment of a patient with depression. This case is part of a series being generated for the CFPC SharcFM series. This particular case deals with various Palliative Care issues in Family Medicine. Follow Emil's case as he goes through a series of struggles.

title: Decision Analysis Methods in OpenLabyrinth

description: Evaluation of decisions made when learners are navigating an OpenLabyrinth virtual patient case presents some challenges because of possible complex, branching nature of such cases. The complexity presents great richness in describing and tracking realistic decision opportunities but necessitates different approaches in assessing whether the learner made good choices. This paper explores some aspects of graph theory and path analysis, and presents some perspectives on calculating the probabilities that the pathway chosen was a good one. Standard setting approaches may be required to provide a benchmark against which to measure.

title: Catherine's Asthma

description: Catherine’s Asthma Case introduces a 52-year-old woman with a persistent cough as the student’s last patient of the day. The main learning objectives are to take a focused history and identify risk factors and clinical features that increases probability of asthma diagnosis; to develop a broad differential diagnosis of wheeze / cough. (Not all that wheezes is asthma); to become familiar with management of asthma, different medication delivery methods, and other management options; to be comfortable assessing asthma control in follow-up; and to be aware of inhaled glucocorticoid side effects. There is more information about our learning objectives and the project's aims here on the Canadian Health Education Commons (CHEC).The EMR's used in our case include MedAccess and Netcare. This case is designed to make the student consider clinical time management in their decision-making. The student is given 15 minutes to make all of their decisions for the initial visit, including history and patient chart review, a physical exam, an initial diagnosis, initial management and patient education. This visit is followed up 2 months later, and the student is asked whether the symptoms have been controlled. This decision can lead to two separate outcomes for the patient. There is also bonus content for this case, with further management several months later. The learner is encouraged to investigate, explore, ask questions, and make rapid decisions based on realistic clinical encounters with the patient. The learner will be required to engage general principles of history taking, consider principles of reflective practice, see how their assessment may impact a patient’s health following the visit, and consider some of the fears or misconceptions around steroid use. This case was developed as part of the SharcBAIT Project
