Open Source: So Much to Choose From So Little time…..

What does this have to do with the Immune System?

An Open Source definition of Open Source

• Open- source software is software whose source code is published and made available to the public, enabling anyone to copy, modify and redistribute the source code - Wikepedia

3

Where do we find material that matters?

• Finding the right material can be overwhelming.

• Quality vs. quantity

4

How do I find what matters?

• Students• Peers• Children• Surfing the Web• Journal articles, Smithsonian, National

Geographic….• “Googliness”

5

Why Use Open Source Materials

• Innovative: displaying new technologies and information.

• Conceptual/Augmentation: increasing the students’ understanding of a difficult concept by completing a virtual activity, video, and/or text.

• Scientific method: Creating projects and hypothesizing the expected outcome.

• Simulations: to increase inquiry based learning. Using materials that are not available in a lab setting.

Content/Activities

Laboratory

• With each learning unit (body system), labs can include several of the following each week:

• Virtual Cadaver Dissection• Cadaveric video dissection or surgical webcast• Patient Case Studies and/or Interactive

Laboratory material with patient scenarios.• Home lab experiments.• Weekly Lab Quizzes, Scientific reports, Lab

Practical Midterm and Final.

Content/Activities

Assessment

The Cardiovascular System: Lab Activities

• Virtual Dissection (McGraw Hill)• Dissection Video (open source)• Lab Animations (Publisher and open source)• Surgical Procedures (open source)• Blood Typing; Sheep heart dissection (open source)• Virtual Activities (open source)

– Blood Typing patients– Electrocardiogram

Each Lab activity has a corresponding quiz.

9

Multi-Modalities with the use of Open Source Materials

• The lab portion of the course uses multiple modalities: tactile, visual, auditory, clinial applications, and critical thinking.

• For example: A student must first virtually dissect the heart, then watch an actual dissection, and heart transplant. Finally, they are given specific instructions via a You-Tube Video by this instructor on dissection of a sheep heart.

• Photographic confirmation.
