This program looks at the creation of the Human Systems
Explorer, a groundbreaking, interactive teaching tool designed to
clarify difficult concepts in pathophysiology. The opening documentary
examines how the new technology can be used effectively to aid
students in the classroom and beyond. We talk to a number of the
professors at Harvard who helped design the Human Systems Explorer, as
well as Harvard Medical School Chief Information Officer, Dr. John
Halamka, an internationally recognized voice in the world of medical
educational technology. The second part of the program presents
demonstrations of the Human Systems Explorer. Viewers can experiment
with four of the interactive modules and test their knowledge with a
short quiz about each module. |
