As we scramble this summer—and possibly through the fall—to shift our A&P course from its usual on-campus venue to remote teaching, let’s not forget the tools that we already have at hand. Why go out looking for new tools when we already have all or most of what we need right there in our toolbox?
One such tool that we may already have handy is Anatomy & Physiology Online. This product is packaged at no extra cost with many versions of the Anatomy & Physiology textbook. Check which version has been adopted in your course to see if the online course is included. If it’s not included, check with your Elsevier education consultant about your options. But mostly likely, you and your students already have it!
There’s nothing to prepare, organize, plan—nothing.Â
Well, okay, there is one thing you have to do. That is to decide whether you want to import the course into your learning management system and operate it there or instead operate it within Elsevier’s learning management system (Evolve).
Yeah, okay, maybe if you’d created an online course, you’d have done this or that a bit differently. Perhaps added a bit here or left that other thing out. But this is a pandemic scramble, right? We don’t have time now to do it perfectly. But if you do have extra time—an amusing concept—nothing is stopping you from adding other course elements alongside Anatomy & Physiology Online.
So why invent a wheel you and your students already have? Anatomy & Physiology Online seems custom-made for this pandemic scramble we’re in right now!
