2 | Web Resources Recommended by the Anatomical Society
1.5 minutes
The UK’s Anatomical Society has put together a list of online resources under the auspices of their Education Committee
3 | Sneeze Injuries

Can the explosive power of a sneeze cause injury? You bet. Here’s a recently reported case of a rupture of the pharynx. Yikes.

4 | Pre-Testing as a Powerful Boost to Learning
13.5 minutes
Pre-Testing isn’t just for measuring prior competence before new learning starts. By itself, regardless of its use in course assessment, it’s a powerful learning tool. Listen to Kevin’s experience with pre-testing in his A&P courses.
- Pre-Tests as Student Success Tools (more on Kevin’s case study; has links to other resources)
- Small Teaching: Everyday Lessons from the Science of Learning (a great book that includes some info on using pre-tests as a learning strategy)
