A simple, colorful, interactive program that explains antibiotic susceptability of microorganisms.
Type of Material:
The material is an annimated tutorial. Text and colorful graphic presentaton of basic information that requires "point and click" interaction from learner; including activating graphics, answering questions, and advancing the presentation.
Recommended Uses:
As reinforcement of content in Biology and Pathophysiology courses. Good resource for visual and/or kinetic learners. The material could be used in the classroom, as well as online as an independent study module.
Technical Requirements:
Requires "Flash plug-in" in addition to IE Internet access.
Identify Major Learning Goals:
The learning goal is not stated but appears to be:
Define antibiotic association between organ susceptibility and antibiotic treatment. Correlate how antibiotic treatment can affect microbes Analyze the way that inappropriate antibiotic use affects the microbes.
Target Student Population:
High School and College students.
Prerequisite Knowledge or Skills:
Basic ability to navigate through an interactive presentation using a mouse. The student would need to know the vocabulary used in the presentation such as microbe, infection and antibiotic.
Content Quality
Rating:
Strengths:
Good basic animation and explanation of antibiotic susceptability.The strengths of the animation is the completeness of the module. It is short, clear and to the point.It required some interaction by the user which keeps the learner engaged in the material
Potential Effectiveness as a Teaching Tool
Rating:
Strengths:
Good for visual and/or kinetic learners. Can be reviewed repeatedly for learning reinforcement.The site is a good teaching tool. It provides the information in a clear,easy if not somewhat elementary way.The site would be most useful as a pre-study to a class on antibiotic use and organism susceptiblity
Concerns:
Information is presented in a stand-alone manner. Would be more valuable to learner with more context or with links to related topics.
Ease of Use for Both Students and Faculty
Rating:
Strengths:
The program is very easy to use. Simply point and click.
