These example materials are from the "Method Validation Basics" course. Some of these materials were part of Dr. Westgard's presentation on "Internet Teaching and Training in Quality Management that was presented at the ASCLS 1998 Annual Meeting (Chicago, Il, August 4, 1998). Some of the materials are also from Dr. Sharon Ehmeyer's presentation at the 1999 Clinical Laboratory Educators' Conference (San Juan, Puerto Rico, March 4-6, 1999).

CLS educators, see the discussion of need for Internet training courses in quality management and a description of a process for developing an Internet course.

CLS students and professionals, see how the Method Validation Basics course is structured and preview some of the course materials: course description, syllabus, lesson plan, educational materials, and on-line calculator tools.

Laboratory analysts and industry technical personnel, see "The data analysis toolkit" and the internet calculation and plotting tools that provide statistical calculations and graphical presentation of data from the replication and comparison of methods experiments.
