Academic Computing
Multimedia Teaching Aids in Medical School
his web site is intended to show you how computers can be integrated into the educational program of the Medical School. Information technology (IT) is an integral part of medicine today and it is our aim to help you use IT as simply as possible. Academic Computing exists to help you produce new material, and integrate commercially produced material into courses. We can also help identify Internet materials in any subject area and suggest uses for additional graphics, cases, etc in your teaching.
e can help you design and create animations to demonstrate "hard-to-understand" concepts or simply to provide links to current data on the web concerning diseases.
Your role will be as a content expert. You will need to identify the areas best suited for inclusion of IT and then provide the content.. we will do the rest.
We will also provide an overview of your course and make suggestions as to where, in general, IT may be applicable, though the identification of specific areas will always be best performed by the teacher.
The purpose of this web site is two-fold:
- First, show examples of things that have already been done successfully.
- Second, to help you identify areas in your curriculum that can be enhanced by IT.
