Teaching Materials
This information may include text, images, and multimedia. Most of this information is restricted to U-M medical students (and their faculty). A uniquename and kerberos password may be required to log in. (Contact the web master below if you do not already have access, or you do not know your uniquename.)

An example of images that may be made available are slides that have been shown in lecture. These may be submitted to us in digital form, or your slides may be given to us and we will digitize them for you. A flatbed scanner is also available to scan photographs or other hard copy. The images are then listed by lecture date on the Teaching Materials page, and can then be reviewed by students. Arrangements can be made so the images are not available to students until after the lecture has occurred. For an example of this, please see M1 Pathology Teaching Materials. Other supplemental material can be made available in this fashion at your request. We can also place any captions you desire on or near the images.

Staff is available for the routine digitizing of images. You may also use the equipment yourself, on a reservation basis. See Instructional Technology Equipment section below.

Practice Quizzes
We have several varieties of on-line quizzes that may be set up. Please call Chris Chapman to find out more about this (936-2903) or e-mail Chris Chapman.

Links
Links to other web sites pertaining to the particular course/sequence/clerkship may be placed on these pages.

Schedule
This schedule is identical to the printed class schedule calendar distributed to students and faculty. This is updated as frequently as we receive changes. A "last updated" message is placed on each schedule page to denote when changes were last made.

Faculty Contacts
This page generally lists the course/sequence/clerkship directors, and departmental phone number, and an e-mail address for the directors. The e-mail address is "clickable," when clicked, a mail-to form appears. If you would like any additions or changes made to the contact list, or alternate phone numbers or e-mail addresses, please let us know.

Conference
This button takes you to a web conferencing site maintained by ITD, called COW (Conferencing on the Web). A uniquename and kerberos password is required to log in.) All directors have been placed on the permitted list.)

A separate conference has been started for each component. For each conference, a series of topics has been set up for each course/sequence/clerkship, including a topic for introductions and general discussions. Conversations can be started within any of the topics, and when someone logs in, they may either respond to an ongoing conversation, or start a new conversion about a subtopic of their choosing. It is recommended that everyone new to COW click on the Help button at the bottom of most pages. Using COW is easy, and it has some powerful features, but it helps to have some additional information when first starting.

The conferences were primarily intended for a place where students can hold discussions on subjects pertaining to the curriculum and on life as a medical students. Faculty involvement is encouraged, because it provides the ability for informal discussions with students on a wide range of issues, and also as a way to get feedback about the attitudes and concerns of the students.
