This resource provides 10 - 15hrs learning for second year bioscientists. It presents a realistic problem-based scenario. Supporting materials are also available from JorumOpen. Contact weblearn@medsci.ox.ac.uk for further information.Associated documentation can be found here: http://open.jorum.ac.uk/xmlui/handle/123456789/2440 http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=441175 A scenario-based teaching aid describing best practice when dealing with an IV drug user during dental treatment. The unit describes how to deal with potential infections, and the necessary steps to be taken to reduce the risk of acquiring infection from this patient. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=474625 This is a set of images taken from a teaching resource created at University College London, in collaboration with their museum of zoology. They are primarily along the themes of phylogeny (evolutionary history) and functional anatomy.You are required to agree to a set of terms and conditions on entering the site where the collection is hosted.The images are hosted in the UK Centre for Bioscience's ImageBank, and have been released as part of the Centre's Open Educaional Resources project: http://www.bioscience.heacademy.ac.uk/resources/oer/ http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=474046 VERB is an online animal diversity resource designed to accompany undergraduate degrees in the Biosciences. In this package, entitled VERB Eutherians, the groups discussed are the living placental mammals. Contained are a series of web pages outlining the diversity of the eutherians from an evolutionary perspective. The topics of focus are phylogeny (evolutionary history) and functional anatomy, but subjects as wide as genetics, ecology, physiology, and developmental biology are discussed where relevant. This package is designed to be used within a browser. Once unzipped, navigate to the index.html file in the folder to run the resource. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=446456 A scenario-based tutorial in which the case of a very nasty dental infection is investigated. The reader is guided through the clinical symptoms and needs to come to a conclusion regarding treatment. It also includes information on good practice when taking patient histories. This is a Questionmark Perception file. The QTIXML file needs to be opened in QP Authoring Manager, converted to an assessment and exported into your own VLE. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=441186 This tutorial provides a walk-through scenario. The student is a dental practitioner who treats a patient who subsequently develops tuberculosis. The walk-through leads the student through the measures needed to contain the spread of infection, and indicates what measures should be taken, which authorities should be informed, and future precautions that should be taken. This is a Questionmark Perception file. The QTIXML file needs to be opened in QP Authoring Manager, converted to an assessment and exported into your own VLE. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=444386 A Questionmark Perception generated quiz concentrating on the identification of bacteria from visual and descriptive clues. The QTIXML file needs to be opened in QP Authoring Manager, converted to an assessment and exported into your own VLE. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=446450 Another short quiz on bacterial identification. The questions are clinical-case based, with the reader needing to deduce the causative agent of infection bassed on the symptoms presented. This is a Questionmark Perception file. The QTIXML file needs to be opened in QP Authoring Manager, converted to an assessment and exported into your own VLE. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=444437 A Questionmark Perception quiz designed to test the reader on their basic knowledge of bacteriology. The QTIXML file needs to be opened in QP Authoring Manager, converted to an assessment and exported into your own VLE. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=446469 A tutorial on the assay of antibiotics. Significant background information on the action and use of antibiotics is provided, followed by a walk-through of how to plot graphs, calculate antibiotic concentrations, and analyse resulting data. This is a word document, a completed answer sheet is also provided.
