Supercourse and Obesity Ronald LaPorte, PhD Faina Linkov, PhD WHO Collaborating Center Disease Monitoring and Telecommunications University of Pittsburgh

Are we going to see decrease in life expectancy with the obesity epidemic?

What is the Supercourse? www.pitt.edu/~super1 SUPERCOURSE-global library of PowerPoint lectures on prevention and public health, shared for free by the best faculty members in the world and the network of 50,000 global health professionals.

Supercourse Model: lecture sharing Teacher in Mexico Teacher in Kenya Teacher in Bolivia Teacher in Pittsburgh Information Sharing & Open Source Model: A Global academic faculty is developing and sharing their best lectures in the area of public health and the Internet. Hundreds of members of the Supercourse network are interested in women’s health, maternal and child health, and birth defects. New instructors reduce preparation time and improve their lectures, as they can employ state of the art lectures from others. Faculties in developing countries have access to current scientific information which they would not normally have. The concept of a library of lectures for all to use is in many ways similar to that of "freeware" or "open source software" on the computer. Teacher in Havana Teacher in San Francisco

Supercourse lecture format Difficult to see

Global Participation 48,000 Faculty 174 Countries 4711 Prevention lectures >150 lectures on diabetes and metabolism, but only about 10 specific to obesity

Nobel Prize Laureates in the Supercourse (Medicine) Joshua Lederberg (1958) Gunter Blobel (1999) Baruch S. Blumberg (1976) Ferid Murad (1998) Nobel Prize Laureates in the Supercourse (Medicine) Supercourse has 75 lectures from Nobel Prize Laureates. This slide represents 8 first Nobel Prize laureates to join the network Eric R. Kandel (2000) Paul Greengard (2000) Leland H Hartwell (2001) Paul C Lauterbur (2003)

Supercourse Model Large Multidisciplinary Network Open Source PowerPoint Lecture Library Continuous Quality Improvement The supercourse model is simple. We first built a broad, global international network on the web. From the network we extracted the best of the best PowerPowerpoint lectures and put them onto the web. WE then build a distribution network to share the lectures. On top of this model we overlade state of the art quality control system. Distribution System to Educators

Empowering Educators world wide with state of the art lecture content The supercourse is designed to help teachers. The content is provided to the teachers to improve their lectures. In this project, we will focus on building congenital abnormalities prevention curriculum 10

Who will Obesity Supercourse help? Educators Researchers Clinicians Midwifes Nurses Public Health Educators 11

Supercourse has lectures on many areas related to obesity including energy balance, physical activity, cancer, inactivity, diabetes, etc. We are looking forward to seeing your lecture in the Supercourse!

Peter Bennett initiated the longitudinal studies of diabetes among the Pima Indians of Arizona and has published extensively on factors that predict the development of diabetes and its complications.
