  • The ATLAS (Asynchronous Tools for Learning AntimicrobialS) Project

    Collapse all Expand all
    The goal of the ATLAS Project is to help a wide spectrum of learners increase their understanding of antimicrobial use and infectious diseases management to promote the best patient outcomes and appropriate antimicrobial use. ATLAS provides a variety of self-directed online resources that give learners an opportunity to test their knowledge of antimicrobials or learn new content through focused modules using evidence-based instructional methods.
     
    All resources should be used for teaching purposes only not as a sole component of clinical care.

    Frequently Asked Questions - For Learners
    How do I use the resources?
    Just click on the link and go!  In some cases the module may open in a separate window or browser tab, so you may want to review your browser's popup settings if nothing appears.

    How can I give feedback?
    Many of the modules have a specific embedded feedback link where you can provide specific feedback on the module. If there isn't one or if you'd like to provide more general feedback, please email conan.macdougall@ucsf.edu

    Frequently Asked Questions - For Instructors

    Can I incorporate ATLAS materials in my course?

    Yes!   All ATLAS materials are meant for sharing.  This LMS page is freely open to the public.  You can use the https://tiny.ucsf.edu/atlas link for quick access.

    Can I download ATLAS materials?  Can I incorporate them into my school's Learning Management System?

    Yes! The online interactive modules are available as SCORM packages that can be uploaded into most LMS systems.  Please contact conan.macdougall@ucsf.edu to obtain the appropriate SCORM packages.

    Can I download and tailor ATLAS materials to make them more suitable for my learners and content I am teaching?

    Yes!  In some cases there are PowerPoints or other easily editable companion documents for easy download on the site.  The interactive online modules were authored in Articulate Storyline and require that software package in order to edit the source files.  If you are interested in the Articulate Storyline modules for download, please contact conan.macdougall@ucsf.edu.
