[Jon Hays]

Dear colleagues and friends,

Please mark your calendars and plan to attend the fourth session in the 
Teaching with Sakai webinar series!

**Engaging medical students in pathology: Podcasts and zooming images**


    Wednesday, *December 14*, 2011
    /3 pm ET; noon PT ///
    *Register now <http://www.eventbrite.com/event/2359146270> *

*Session Description:*

Dr. Howard Reisner 
<http://blog.sakai.unc.edu/2011/11/22/november-faculty-spotlight-dr-howard-reisner/> 
(UNC-Chapel Hill) is teaching a one week block which introduces second 
year medical students to pathology--specifically, the causes and 
progression of disease as expressed in tissue. The teaching goals are to:

  * Introduce medical students to common disease processes as expressed
    in tissue
  * Provide case based examples of disease in tissue to provide practice
    for students in recognizing tissue based lesions using virtual
    microscopy
  * Promote active learning by providing a disease identification
    challenge to students

This webinar will focus on how Dr. Reisner is using interactive, 
"zoomable"  images (i.e., virtual microscopy 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_microscopy>) and video podcasts in 
Sakai to meet these goals in a medical curriculum setting.

*Teaching with Sakai Webinar Series*
The Teaching with Sakai webinar series 
<https://confluence.sakaiproject.org/display/PED/Teaching+with+Sakai+Webinar+Series+%282011-2012%29> highlights
