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.
