While all modules are open to any interested parties, the ability to upload assignments and complete quizzes is not. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=630097 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 (AIMU), 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).Serial axial sections of the brain are taken with Virchow's Brain Knife to demonstrate the location, relations, appearance and structure of Basal Ganglia components, and their relationships with the lateral and third ventricles. The components of Basal ganglia are Caudate nucleus, Putamen, Globus pallidus, Lentiform nucleus, Claustrum. Other structure like thalamus, Internal capsule, Insula are also demonstrated. This is the first dissection-demonstration of a 2-part series. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=630092 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.

A complete online class, Conspiracy Code engages students in interactive learning while wrapped within a video-game like experience and storyline. Conspiracy Code courses are teacher-supervised, academically-viable, complete classes that fuse the best of online gaming with research-based pedagogical techniques and standards. Conspiracy Code is the first course in this series is American History. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=655135 edX is a joint partnership between Massachusetts Institute of Technology (M.I.T.) and Harvard University to begin providing global, free-open-source, online learning content and courses offerred at M.I.T. and Harvard, Course content will include "self-paced learning, online discussion groups, wiki-based collaborative learning, assessment of learning as a student progresses through a course, and online laboratories." Certificates of course completion will be offered to those students that succeed in completing all course work. Data collected from online learning courses will be studied to help make improvements to the Online Learning and Teaching platform. Their first course: M.I.T's "Introduction to Circuits and Electronics" began earlier this year with more courses to follow. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=634172 Dissection and demonstration of Basal Ganglia in formalinized human brain specimen.

It has been in circulation among the students since then. They find it very helpful to learn the material after they have watched the video lecture. That is why it has been rendered online.It demonstrates the technique of Lumbar Puncture (Spinal Tap) on a mannikin with running commentary by Dr Sanjoy Sanyal, Professor of Neurosciences in Medical University of the Americas.
