Medical Terminology Online for Quick & Easy Medical Terminology (User Guide, Access Code and Textbook Package), 5e

Medical Terminology Online to accompany Leonard's Quick & Easy Medical Terminology provides everything an instructor needs to administer a high-quality, ready-to-use medical terminology course online, or to enhance a traditional lecture-format class. Designed to be used in conjunction with textbook, this course follows the same body-systems organization of the text to present a wealth of information on anatomy, disorders, diagnoses, and treatments for each body system - all part of a total learning experience in which students master and apply medical terminology using a unique programmed approach. Small segments of information are presented and immediately reinforced through exercises that check students' comprehension. It features a wide variety of interactive exercises and auditory and visual elements, including animations and slide shows with narration. These media-rich elements amplify and synthesize the same concepts presented in the text while demonstrating the practical applications of medical language. Available through Evolve, or through Angel, Blackboard, and WebCT. The course companion platform gives even technologically inexperienced instructors the confidence and tools they need to deploy course content online, including features such as real-time chat, course calendar, instructor and student e-mail exchange, electronic bulletin board, grade book, and syllabus. Interactive exercises, such as word building, identification, spelling, pronunciation, matching, multiple-choice, true-or-false, and case studies, are interspersed throughout the lessons to reinforce learning. Medical report activities require students to become familiar with entries in the medical record and apply medical terminology in a simulated clinical setting. Animations and slide shows bring illustrations to life, demonstrating complex concepts. Icons alert learners to unique elements within the course, such as Discussion Boards, Factoids, and Learning Links. An extensive glossary of more than 5,000 terms, accessible from anywhere in the course companion, allows students to click on a term and hear it pronounced in English or Spanish. Students can also choose to hear the definitions translated into Spanish. Linked glossary terms within the course narrative enable students to hear each term pronounced correctly. Spanish translations of glossary terms and definitions better equip students to communicate with non-English speakers and with those for whom English is a second language. Hypertext links direct students to related website resources for further study. A self-scoring Self-Mastery Quiz at the end of each module allows students to test their comprehension and recognition before taking the Self-Mastery Exam, which is automatically graded and reported to the instructor.Peggy C.
