  2. Our Successes… wait for it… Our lab construction was delayed The lab is completed and ready for full implementation in the Fall! Human Anatomy Redesign before after

  3. Our New Anatomy Lab • 8 custom designed team learning stations • Touch screen HP computers • Complete set of core models • Two microscopes • Histology set • Dual screens/projectors • ADA station/Demonstration cart • Panning demo camera Human Anatomy Redesign

  4. Human Anatomy Redesign

  5. Our Plan for the New Lab • Old Format • Anatomy content split over two semesters; taught only in lab sections • New Format: • 1 50-min lecture (all students) • Weekly content goals, difficult concepts, communication • 1 110-min supervised lab (40 student sections) • Demos, exercises,learning modules, group assessment • Self assessment that evening • 1 110-min recitation/open lab (40 student sections) • Composite assessment score directs student to recitation or open lab Human Anatomy Redesign

  6. Baseline and Performance Data • Approach: • Perform pre- and post tests • 20 questions (15 from past exams, 5 critical thinking) • Collect ACT scores- validate as a normalizer • Utilize common content from past/future exams to compare traditional vs. redesign • Utilize enrollment in Human Physiology as evidence that the students persisted in their program • Utilize learning style and opinion surveys for course satisfaction data Human Anatomy Redesign

  7. Traditional Courses: Average Correct on Pre and Post Tests 23% increase 13% increase Average score; error bars= standard deviation; *=p <0.005 (T-test) Human Anatomy Redesign

  8. Critical Thinking Results Mean increase 21% Human Anatomy Redesign

  9. Predicting Success Human Anatomy Redesign

  10. Implementation Issues • Curriculum issues related to the transition of a course series • Required a staggered approach to teach out • Impact on certified programs • Articulation issues • A shifting opinion on the value of the effort • Fear of a loss in quality due to computer components • Sustainability of model • Resistance to change pedagogy Human Anatomy Redesign

  11. Implementation Issues • Linking the course to electronic resources links you to the new version of the text • Big problem in Rental Systems • E-book vs. Bound • No consensus reached on level of McGraw Hill support for campus • Package all components- sell to students • A La Carte approach through bookstore Human Anatomy Redesign

  12. Implementation Changes • The traditional course was mainly taught by tenure-track and full-time instructors • A significant change to GAs/ULAs reduced the need, as designed • Displaced faculty are slow to acclimate to the changes and will likely replace the GAs/ULAs in the short-term Human Anatomy Redesign
