This highly interactive program simulates a range
of experiments to demonstrate the effects of a variety of pharmacological
agents/procedures on blood pressure and heart rate of the anaesthetized
rat (in vivo). It is aimed at undergraduates studying pharmacology
modules on a range of medical and science courses. Each section
combines text, high quality colour graphics, and animation with
interactive questions designed to reinforce learning.
Students are expected to record and tabulate data from the screen
display and to then complete student assignments e.g. a series
of MCQ questions, with feedback, to assess accuracy of data collection
and data interpretation; a student task (typical of a traditional
lab-class report) to be completed in their own time. In addition
there is a section containing a selection of MCQ's with feedback
covering cardiovascular pharmacology which students can use for
revision. |
