D-6: Human Anatomy and Physiology Laboratory Online

Detailed Description:A demonstration of a WebCT based online laboratory course in Human Anatomy and Physiology for non-science majors. The curriculum consists of 10 labs, 6 of which are focused on anatomy and 4 on physiology. The labs in physiology are selected simulations taken from Physioex 4.0. Simulation topics include mechanisms of cellular transport, endocrine physiology and cardiovascular and respiratory dynamics. A publisher's e-pak is incorporated into the course and will also be demonstrated.
Presentation Format:Showcase
Topic:Enabling learning: Effective instructional practices and flexible design models
Target Audience:Course Designers, Faculty and Other Instructors
Appropriate Audience Level:Beginning or new users of WebCT
Abstract Text:The session will consist of the demonstration of a 1 credit WebCT based online laboratory in human anatomy and physiology for undergraduate non-science majors. The course satisfies the university's laboratory requirement for graduation. Students may opt to enroll in the laboratory course as a stand alone lab or in conjunction with the lecture 3 credit component of the course. The lab component consists of 10 labs, 6 of which focus on anatomy and 4 on physiology. The anatomy labs include the following topics: Cell Structures and Function, Mitosis, Histology, Axial and Appendicular Skeleton and Skeletal Muscles. The physiology simulations include the following topics selected from Physioex 4.0: Mechanisms of Cell Transport and Permeability,Endocrine System Physiology, Metabolism and Hormone Replacement Therapy, Cardiovascular Hemodynamics and Respiratory System Mechanics. The demonstration will also include the incorporation of a publisher's e-pak as a supplementary component of the course.
