Resource (Eberly Center, CMU) - Exam wrappers

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
All too often, when students receive back a graded exam, they focus on a single feature - the score they earned. While this focus on "the grade" is understandable, it can lead students to miss out on several learning opportunities that such assessment can provide:

identifying their own individual areas of strength and weakness to guide further study;

reflecting on the adequacy of their preparation time and the appropriateness of their study strategies; and

characterizing the nature of their errors to find any recurring patterns that could be addressed.

So, to encourage students to process their graded exams more deeply, several faculty members across the university have devised exam wrappers, short handouts that students complete when an exam is turned back to them. These exam wrappers direct students to review their performance (and the instructor's feedback) with an eye toward adapting their future learning.

Examples from Mellon College of Science courses:

The Physics exam wrapper was completed by students during recitation when the first exam was turned back to students. Papers were collected at the end of class, reviewed by the instructor, and then returned to students just before the next exam, as a reminder of their self-discoveries from a few weeks prior.

The Biology exam wrapper was given to students during lecture on the day when the first exam was turned back.

Exam wrappers can be used in various disciplines and to help students think through their learning on different assessments. Here are some examples of similar wrapper activities from classes in Dietrich:

For more information on using exam wrappers in your course or for help in designing an exam wrapper handout, please contact the Eberly Center.

The classification of maxilla fractures again follows the concept of areas of relative strength within the facial skeleton. There are three principal fracture lines which correspond to relative areas of weakness, and these are referred to as Le Fort fractures. By definition, these fractures must transect the pterygoid process of the sphenoid bone.
Le Fort I
This is a transverse fracture through the inferior maxillary antra, which separates off the alveolar process of the maxilla. The Le Fort I is demonstrated on the OM view with fractures through the medial and lateral walls of the maxillary antra, and the nasal septum.
Le Fort II
This is a pyramidal fracture, which separates off the central portion of the face. The OM radiograph identifies the Le Fort II with fractures through the lacrimal bones, medial orbital walls, infra-orbital rim and lateral walls of the maxillary antra.
Le Fort III
This fracture is characterised by separation of the entire facial skeleton from the skull. The posterior aspect of the fracture extends down the posterior maxillary sinus walls. Fracture lines will be visible on the OM view extending from the medial orbits and nasoethmoid region across the ethmoids posteriorly. The orbits appear elongated with wide diastasis of the zygomatico-frontal sutures, or fractures of the orbital process of the zygoma.

In practice, this classification is over-simplified, and in reality, fractures tend to be more complex. There may be a combination of appearances, such as a Le Fort II on one side, and a Le Fort III on the other. Also, as these injuries are associated with major trauma, these patients tend to go direct to CT and plain radiograph examples of classic Le Fort fractures are infrequent.

The Imaging Anatomy web site is a basic atlas of normal imaging anatomy of domestic animals. It is designed as an aid for veterinary students beginning their study of diagnostic imaging. It is not meant to be a comprehensive reference of imaging anatomy. It is also not meant to present the range of variation across breeds of the domestic animals. The site is the result of the work of Gerald J. Pijanowski, DVM, PhD and Steve Kneller, DVM, MS, DACVR, along with the design wizardry of Nancy Oliver of the Design Group. The overlays used to highlight various structures on each image are the result of the hard work of Seth Kramer, Class of 2011. Thanks to the research of Seth Kramer, the color palate used should accomodate the common forms of color blindness. Any errors, omissions or other mistakes are the responsibilty of the creators. Your comments and suggestions are invited. Please e-mail them to designgroup@vetmed.illinois.edu.

Common misconceptions

There are a number of misconceptions surrounding metacognition and the related construct 'self-regulated learning'.

1. Metacognition is simply 'thinking about thinking'
Although metacognition does involve thinking about one's thinking, it is more complex than that. A large part of metacognition is actively monitoring one's own learning and making changes to one's own learning behaviours and strategies based on this monitoring.

2. Any strategy used while performing a cognitive task is metacognitive
This is not always the case. For example, using phonics rules to decode an unknown word when reading is a cognitive strategy. Flavell (1981) identified a useful distinction between the two: strategies used to make cognitive progress are 'cognitive strategies'; strategies used to monitor cognitive progress are 'metacognitive strategies'.

3. A teacher plays no role in their learners' metacognitive practice
Although a metacognitive approach typically focuses on allowing the learner to take control of their own learning, the teacher is still required to help in the development of their metacognitive skills. For example, the teacher needs to set clear learning objectives, demonstrate and monitor metacognitive strategies, and prompt and encourage their learners.

4. Metacognition is only applicable to older learners
Some researchers (e.g. Veenman and Spaans 2005) believe that metacognitive skills do not emerge until a child is 8 to 10 years old. However, Whitebread and Pino Pasternak (2010) document a number of studies which indicate evidence of young children's metacognitive abilities. Findings include children as young as 18 months demonstrating error-correction strategies, 5-year-old children showing an awareness of forgetting, and 3 to 5-year-olds exhibiting a wide range of verbal and non-verbal indicators of metacognitive processes in nursery and reception classrooms. These studies demonstrate that although young children may not be able to describe the metacognitive processes they are exhibiting, it does not mean that these processes are not occurring.

Do you have microscope slides, EM micrographs or other materials that would improve your ability to use Histology Guide? If so, please contact us at tcbrelje@gmail.com.

Send a message to tcbrelje@gmail.com to join a mailing list for notification of improvements to the website. A short description on how it is used would help us make further improvements.

Notice: If your browser displays a security warning using HistologyGuide.com, try accessing the website through HistologyGuide.org.

Histology is the study of the microanatomy of cells, tissues, and organs as seen through a microscope. It examines the correlation between structure and function.

Histology Guide teaches the visual art of recognizing the structure of cells and tissues and understanding how this is determined by their function. Rather than reproducing the information found in a histology textbook, a user is shown how to apply this knowledge to interpret cells and tissues as viewed through a microscope.

Because of the high cost of purchasing (and maintaining) microscopes and preparing (or purchasing) slide collections, histology is often taught today without laboratories. A histology atlas is frequently used as a replacement. This is unfortunate because no matter how good the few images in a textbook or histology atlas are, they cannot replace the experience of viewing a specimen through a microscope.

Histology Guide solves this problem by recreating the look and feel of a microscope in an intuitive, browser-based interface.

An Aperio slide scanner was used to obtain a high-resolution image of each slide in its entirety. Large tissues are up to 34 GB for a single, uncompressed image of 150,000 x 75,000 pixels.

The contrast, color, and sharpness of each image were adjusted to at least maintain the appearance of the tissue as seen through a microscope. In many cases, these adjustments improved upon their visual appearance.

Unlike low-resolution images, users can interactively explore these large images by zooming-and-panning in real-time. A software-based virtual microscope ( Zoomify HTML5 Enterprise) allows the examination of large and small structures in the same specimen.

This approach provides a more engaging learning experience and sense of scale, proportion, and context that is not possible with a traditional histology textbook or atlas.

The Atlas of Human Histology: A Guide to Microscopic Structure of Cells, Tissues and Organs by Robert L. Sorenson and T. Clark Brelje provides a print version of the core slides from this website. Individual slides are presented as a series of images of increasing magnification to help convey a sense of scale and proportion. This atlas allows each student to have an easily accessible, printed summary of the essential slides from this website.

Histology Guide is intended to be used with - not replace - a good histology textbook.

Questions, comments or suggestions should be sent to tcbrelje@gmail.com

Metacognition, or thinking about one's thinking, is key to facilitating lasting learning experiences and developing lifelong learners. Linda Darling-Hammond and her colleagues (2003) identify two types of metacognition: reflection, or "thinking about what we know," and self-regulation, or "managing how we go about learning."

Metacognitive activities can guide students as they:

Identify what they already know

Articulate what they learned

Communicate their knowledge, skills, and abilities to a specific audience, such as a hiring committee

Set goals and monitor their progress

Evaluate and revise their own work

Identify and implement effective learning strategies

Transfer learning from one context to another

Activities that promote metacognition should:

Facilitate equal participation

Ensure students do most of the talking

Take place before, during, and after an experience

Happen in different group configurations (individuals, pairs, small group, large group)

The Optic Pathway & Visual Field Defects by Claire Cooper

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
The optic pathway is responsible for sending visual information from the eyes to the brain via electrical impulses. Although easy for trained neurologists to understand, it is an area which students of the University of Dundee School of Medicine repeatedly struggle to visualise. It is of the upmost importance that a basic understanding is formed of this pathway to enable students to decipher the various lesions which can occur at different stages along it. This is particularly important in clinical medicine to determine visual field defects. Through animation, a digital teaching resource was created to help medical students better understand the complexity of the optic pathway and its associated visual field defects, both of which are of great importance when making a clinical diagnosis.

A collection of 320 annotated slides covering basic histology and histopathology.

Background and nature of the task
Presented through a virtual microscope, the histology and histopathology collection includes two sets (light-boxes) of normal tissues and ten sets of pathological sections grouped according to their tissue type. The entire collection constitutes 320 sections which are presented through a virtual microscope that models the functions of a conventional light microscope. Each section has an active descriptive legend that acts as a tutorial, by shifting the stage directly to the features described.

Instructions on how to use the microscope are given in the 'Help' file within the microscope. Background reading material on histology and microscopy is provided in the free OpenLearn course linked to below.
Histology, microscopy, anatomy and disease | OpenLearn - Open University
The slide sets were provided by a number of partners, including the Department of Pathology Cambridge, University College Hospital London, De Montfort University, the Institute of Ophthalmology, Milton Keynes NHS Trust and Leicester General Infirmary. Imaging and production of the virtual microscope was carried out at the Open University, as part of a digitisation project funded by JISC.

Duration and pattern of use
This activity may take 1-15 hours of work, depending on interest and experience.

Detailed examination of the joints is usually not included in the routine medical examination. However, joint related complaints are rather common, and understanding anatomy and physiology of both normal function and pathologic conditions is critically important when evaluating the symptomatic patient. By gaining an appreciation for the basic structures and functioning of the joint, you’ll be able to “logic” your way thru the exam, even if you can’t remember the eponym attached to each specific test!

The main aim of this website is to give you a virtual experience of using a microscope rather than just trawling through text and figures, or even a set of powerpoint slides.

The site is divided into topics, which may be worked through in any order. You can see histological slides on the pages and can turn labels on or off to help them identify features. In some cases, there is a section like a 'virtual microscope' - you can scan around a large picture using the mouse and try to identify features. This emulates as closely as possible the experience of using a microscope. We've also recently introduced a new feature, where the students can also zoom in on a slide, having identified an area of interest. Finally, there are several quizzes to try when you feel you have worked through the topic.

The site also has a glossary. When you see words looking like this, you can click on the word to see a definition.

Hey, something doesn't work!

If you find something that's broken or doesn't work as well as it should, please feel free to send bug-reports, suggestions or other comments to Steve at s.paxton@leeds.ac.uk
