Product Overview
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.
