APPD LESSON: Longitudinal Educational Software Solutions and Outcomes Network
APPD LESSON is an exciting new APPD program created to assist members in creating robust online curricula for Pediatrics.
The purpose of APPD LESSON is to produce meaningful educational materials that advance the training of future Pediatricians for the purpose of improving the health and well-being of children.

- Provide expert consultation for instructional design of asynchronous learning following the principles of andragogy and self-directed learning.
- Communicate regularly with the APPD membership and the larger medical education community about activities, opportunities, and outcomes.
- Explore, conduct, and coordinate curriculum development with other organizations and initiatives across a continuum of medical and non-medical education.
- Facilitate tool assessment and outcomes-based educational research, collaborating with APPD LEARN, as indicated.
