The site includes descriptive materials, experiments, activities, links to articles, resources for teaching neuroscience, and a listing of Internet resources related to the neurosciences. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=88622 Collection of Radiologic Images, with text explantions of disorders http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=75372 The Harvey Project is a worldwide collaboration to build and distribute free, Web-based rich content for teaching physiology. Project members include physiologists, medical professionals, educators, students, programmers, instructional designers, illustrators and web designers dedicated to using the Internet to advance the teaching of physiology. All donate their time and effort to contribute to the Project. The course materials being developed include simulations, animations and 3-D models, as well as online testing and evaluation. They are also peer-reviewed and based on accepted educational and technical standards. All content and tools developed are open and non-proprietary. Building rich content requires a wide range of skills and an extravagance of time and effort. If faculty are to play a major role in constructing such learning objects, they must collaborate and share their skills and efforts. The Harvey Project is such a collaboration. Interest in rich content and online learning is spreading quickly in higher education and this "open course" model represents a new and promising paradigm for online content development.The Harvey Project aims to build rich, educational content for physiology, not to create a complete online course nor compete with existing course offerings. The Project is also creating standards and guidelines to direct the creation of effective rich content, as well as a variety of software tools to facilitate building lectures, modules, courses and quizzes. The Project also includes a database of physiology teaching materials on the Web, similar to MERLOT but specific to physiology. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=78721 A collection of very high quality QuickTime VR objects produced from real anatomical specimens. These are dozens of materials representing many aspects of human anatomy. They are provided in multiple resolutions so the end user can choose the quality/download time trade off. The author of the site allows objects to be downloaded for use by educators. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=78431 Rich, high-end interactive learning media for physiology including tutorials, animations, virtual labs, simulations, quizzes. Vision, cranial nerves, CV, respiratory, renal, GI. Demos available at site.http://www.plosbiology.org/plosonline/?request=get-document&doi=10.1371%2Fjournal.pbio.0020157 http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=88524 A collection of photomicrographs, with explanatory text. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=304930 This site is a collection of college student success Web links, provided by Thomson/Wadsworth publishers. Links include categories such as time management, study skills, career planning, and health. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=659819 The Histology Laboratory Drawings resource contains 104 hand drawn sketches by Dr. Christensen for the laboratory sessions he conducted in the Medical Histology Course for first year medical students. The drawings were done with felt markers on a white board in the lab during the morning of the day a particular topic was being studied in the course. When the laboratory session began, the drawings were briefly discussed, and they could be seen by the students throughout the laboratory period.You can view the drawings individually on flickr, or you can download the full collection of drawings by navigating to the materials tab. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=556622 Lupus is an autoimmune disease that can affect many of the systems within the body. There is not just one type of lupus, there are four: systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), cutaneous lupus, drug-induced systemic lupus erythematosus, and neonatal lupus. Lupus,us.com covers issues that are associated with lupus and living with the disease. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=659788 The U-M Histology Collection includes a vast assortment of histology images. Students use a digital microscope tool to access the collection and learn the process of preparing and viewing tissues by light and electron microscopy. Students will learn how cells associate to perform the functions for which they are specialized and how organized groups of cells (tissues) are arranged to form the organ systems of the body. One reason for studying histology (the normal structure) is so that you can better understand a pathological (abnormal) change and the consequences of that change.
