Making us all digital scholars?
(I love the term as a hundred years ago in Census Returns it was used to describe anyone attending an academic institution, whether school or university).
Goals of the Scholarly Activity
Provide students with an opportunity to employ their unique skills and talents to pursue a project of their choosing under the mentorship of an expert in the field.
Provide mentorship and guidance for students interested in careers that integrate research, teaching, and clinical service (academic medicine).
Foster development of analytical thinking skills, rational decision making, and attention to the scientific method.
Enhance communication skills.
Enhance self-directed learning.
