Open Source: So Much to Choose From So Little time….. Dr. Suzanne Buie Kodiak College, Chair of Health Sciences May 2014
An Open Source definition of Open Source • Open- sourcesoftware is software whose source code is published and made available to the public, enabling anyone to copy, modify and redistribute the source code - Wikepedia
Where do we find material that matters? • Finding the right material can be overwhelming. • Quality vs. quantity
How do I find what matters? • Students • Peers • Children • Surfing the Web • Journal articles, Smithsonian, National Geographic…. • “Googliness”
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.
Distance courses with Science Laboratories LO • Learning Objectives 2. Instructional Strategies = Content Presentation + Lab Activities 3. Assessment Content/Activities Assessment
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 Anatomy and Physiology UAS Slide by Dr. Suzanne Buie
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.
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.

Interactive Activities – Blood Typing mms://wm.uaa.alaska.edu/emedia/Blood_Typing_Game_Final.wmv Anatomy and Physiology UAS Slide by Dr. Suzanne Buie
Assessment: If this patient has a blood type of B-, what TWO blood types can this patient safely receive.
