            <description>&#1524;Welcome to Voicedoctor.net where you can find medically oriented information about your vocal cords, the voice and hoarseness.&#1524;The following quote is found on the Physician tab at www.voicedoctor.net:&#1524;VOICE DISORDERS represents the opinions of its author - James P. Thomas, M.D. It is you attempt to inform you, the web-surfer, about voice disorders from a physicians perspective. It is specifically not meant to establish a doctor patient relationship with you. I have an office in Oregon where patients who wish to be seen  and establish a relationship may reach me. The information on this site represent my understanding of the voice and are primarily related to my study with other physicians, most particularly laryngologists. Journal references are provided where appropriate. This site has not been peer reviewed (like all web sites) as a medical journal would be. There is no advertising on the site. Please understand the contents of this site and probably most sites with medical information in this light.&#1524;This site includes:Anatomy: Photos and diagrams of the vocal cords and the parts with the medical terminologyPhotos: Photos of various medical problems of the vocal cords such as vocal nodules and polyps, bowing, paralysis, reflux and throat cancer.Video clips of vocal cords in motion: Quicktime videos of the vocal cords in motion. I hope you have a good internet connection.Audio recording of vocal pathology: Audio recordings of various types of spasmodic dysphonia.Case histories: Case histories of various disorders with photos/audio or videoVideo LecturesDefinitions, etc.Links to other resources</description>

            <title>Thinking Like a Biologist: Using Diagnostic Questions (DQCs) and Active Teaching to Help Students Reason With Biological Principles</title>
            <link>http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=422199</link>
            <description>This website presents materials and results from NSF supported work on Diagnostic Question Clusters to Improve Student Reasoning and Understanding in General Biology Courses.  The website provides access to the Diagnostic Question Clusters and active learning strategies associated with the questions plus the pedagogical and research context for these materials.We have targeted two challenges to the teaching of General Biology:1) Most students do not address biological questions with the principles? and reasoning used by biologists and2) Most faculty do not teach students how to use the principles and to think like practicing biologists. The project centers on a set of interrelated Diagnostic Question Clusters (DQCs) designed to &quot;hook&quot; biology faculty to question and learn about their students&apos; understanding of core biological concepts and ways of thinking about biology.The DQCs we focus on here concern tracing energy and matter through 3 levels biological complexity (atomic/molecular/cellular, organism and ecosystem). </description>
