            <title>11.233 Crafting Research Questions and Qualitative Methodology</title>
            <link>http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=554973</link>
            <description>This course covers approaches to research and evaluation in the planning field, for those preparing to write 1st-year doctoral and other research papers. Topics include narrowing down research interests, using quantitative and qualitative techniques complementarily, and interviewing and other fieldwork challenges. The course uses a seminar-type format in which readings, class discussions, and assignments are built around (1) generic themes that run across the research interests and paper topics of students in the class, and (2) lessons about methodology to be learned from the case comparison studies assigned.</description>

            <link>http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=633550</link>
            <description>Hello I am Rochelle Miller; I am Graduate Student of Texas A&amp;amp;M University in the Master of Science degree with Specialization in Training And Development. I am presenting this project to the class EDUC 616, Spring 2012 under the direction of Professor Doctor Richard Lumadue, PhD  The Learning objectives is how the design an active learning teaching environment. The target audiences are students, faculty, instructors, teachers, education administrators, and parents, and perhaps everybody that is interesting in learning activities.   What Is Active Learning? Active learning is when the students are given the opportunity to take a more interactive relationship with the subject matter of a course. In an active learning environment, teachers facilitate rather than dictate, and the active learning engages your students wile is helping the instructors and teachers to assure they are truly understand the assignment.</description>

            <title>Human Brain demonstration by Dr Sanjoy Sanyal in MUA Neuroscience Lab - Part 1</title>
            <link>http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=634172</link>
            <description>Dissection and demonstration of Basal Ganglia in formalinized human brain specimen. Dissection performed and commentary given by Dr Sanjoy Sanyal, Dean of Medical Sciences and Professor of Neuroscience in American   International Medical University, St. Lucia, Caribbean. It was performed in the Neuroscience Lab of Medical University of the Americas (MUA), Nevis, in June 2011 as an aid to teaching Neuroscience to Med 3 students who are preparing for USMLE Step 1. Camera credit goes to Sonja Langley (former Med 3 student at MUA) and video editing credit goes to Chris Robinson (former Med 4 student at MUA). </description>

            <link>http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=619780</link>
            <description>I have used this material for 6 years in Neuroscience classes in Medical schools in 2 different countries - Seychelles and St. Kitts-Nevis. Using this material, Basic Science Medical student&apos;s average grade in National Board of Medical Examiners (NBME) Shelf Exam in Neuroscience reached a peak of 480 (3-digit NBME score), with a Median value of 493 (3-digit NBME score) in the Fall of 2011. This is close to US National average figure. This video was created in Medical  University of the Americas in May 2011 by Med 3 Neuroscience students of Summer 2011 batch. It has been in circulation among the students since then. They find it very helpful to learn the material after they have listened to the video lecture. That is why it has been rendered online. </description>
