TED-Style PresentationMacAnatomy: A Unique, Web-Based Approach to the Delivery of Anatomic Education Ilana Bayer, Assistant Professor, Learning Technologies, Program for Faculty Development, McMaster UniversityBruce Wainman,Associate Professor, Director, Education Program in Anatomy, McMaster UniversityThe expansion of McMaster University's Michael G. DeGroote School of Medicine into three regional campuses and growth in all health sciences programs necessitated the provision of a web-based system to access anatomic educational materials. In this session, we'll provide an overview of MacAnatomy and discuss team collaboration strategies and technologies that were used to develop, implement, and evaluate it, as well as review the use of the site. We will also share the pedagogical and ethical challenges of displaying human anatomy on the web and the unique issues surrounding multimedia retrieval and delivery we overcame while putting the lab "online."OUTCOMES: Learn about McMaster's web-based delivery of anatomic education * Discuss challenges with delivering online anatomic educational materials * Identify methods for evaluating educational websites More Than a MOOC: Designing a MOOC for General Education CreditKate Elizabeth Miffitt, Director of Digital Pedagogy and Scholarship, The Pennsylvania State UniversityCathy Holsing, Director of Learning Design, The Pennsylvania State UniversityIn order to explore the sustainability and potential of learning at scale, Penn State's College of the Liberal Arts offered a general education credit course in a MOOC platform at a reduced tuition rate in summer session 2014.
