Human Embryology Animations
The animations on this site were developed so students could better understand the complex processes that must occur in embryologic development. You may use these animations free of charge. Dr. Valerie O'Loughlin is interested in the effectiveness of these animations as learning tools. I am requesting your assistance with the following educational research project. We need student, faculty and layperson participant reviewers for the site.
When you click on a link for a particular animation, a pop-up window will appear asking you if you would like to participate in an online assessment of the animation. If you click on "ok", you will be taken to an online consent form where you again click a yes/no radio button for consent, and put your email address down for identification. When you click the submit button, you are taken to a 4-8 question online pretest before reviewing the animation. After reviewing the animation, you will take a short online posttest. Each test should take no more than a few minutes of your time. In addition, you will be asked to fill out a brief survey about your perceptions of the animation and its impact on your learning.
The only identifier for both pretests and posttests will be a person's email address, so we may correctly match pretest scores with posttest scores. Your email address and responses will be kept in strict confidence. Only the investigators in this study will have access to this data.
The Visible Embryo
The Visible Embryo began in 1993 as an attempt to use the newly developing world wide web to teach developmental biology. Source material teaching embryology was scarce at the time yet embryology was fast becomming an exciting field breaking down the barriers to infertility. Specialists and educators needed sophisticated teaching tools to get across the concepts of how an embryo evolves from a single cell into a baby.
The National Institute of Child and Human Development wants their collection of 10,000 human embryos made available to the medical and scientific communities for study. Part of their collection is designated as the Carnegie Collection of Human Development and consists of 650 serial microscopic cross-sections of human embryos. Located in the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology (AFIP) in Washington, D.C., the Carnegie Collection of Human Development is an invaluable source of material for teaching normal growth as well as the origins of developmental disorders.
Three dimensional reconstruction of these slides in order to view the development of internal organ systems was and is a primary focus for the collection. However, in 1994, only a few select computers could display in 3D. The process of reconstructing existing embryo slides into accurate embryo models would also require developing a sophisticated program needing years to perfect.
Teaching the concepts of early development required another approach. Two Small Business Innovative Research grants (SBIR) were awarded by The National Institute of Child and Human Development to Ms. Carmen Arbona to instructionally design and organize the study of early embryology using the Carnegie Collection. The September 1993 release of MOSAIC, the first graphical internet browser for the World Wide Web (developed at the The National Center for Supercomputing Applications), guaranteed interactivity between art and text. Now the potential of the net as a new communiction medium could begin .
The Visible Embryo immediately became connected to scientific and medical facilities and is now linked to over 600 educational sites. Over 93,000 page views per week, with more than 13,500 unique viewers per day, adds up to more than 4 million page views and 630,000 unique visitors visiting the site in 2007. Public interest in embryology inspired by pregnancy, regenerative and stem cell research, and anomalies of birth draw people to the Visible Embryo. Anyone curious about life and how we develop.
University of Guelph
Prof. Steve Scadding and Sandra Ackerley (with the assistance of Ian Smith) began this web site in the Fall of 1996 to provide some supplementary material for the Developmental Biology course in the Zoology Department at the University of Guelph. Since then we have added material to the site semester by semester. The site began with just serial sections of the 3-4 mm frog tadpole and it has now grown to over 3000 files of text and images. We have had fun developing it and the site you see now is a team effort of several people with suggestions from many others.
