Overview of the Project:
Dr. Michael Ferrari, Lecturer III in the Molecular and Integrative Physiology Department of the Medical School, is requesting funds for travel to two scientific and educational meetings in 2013: ‘Experimental Biology' – a large comprehensive annual scientific meeting and the ‘Conference on Case Study Teaching in Science' – an annual conference and workshop devoted specifically to utilizing case studies in the classroom. Attendance at these meetings will be highly productive resulting in multiple benefits including: 1) presentation of teaching assessment and survey data for the newly developed Human Physiology Laboratory course, 2) forwarding the currency, quality and depth of the science content in six different courses taught by the applicant, 3) learning new approaches to utilizing case studies in teaching, 4) enabling further technological and pedagogical development of courses under his direction, 5) gathering content for the creation of two new courses – Extreme Physiology and Optimal Physiology, and 6) scholarly inquiry and consulting with publishing houses regarding the possible creation of two different textbooks.
Final Report Fields
Project Objectives:

To enhance the quality and depth of the science content in six different courses , learn new approaches to utilizing case studies in teaching, enable further technological and pedagogical development of courses, gather content for the creation of two new courses, and scholarly inquiry and consulting with publishing houses regarding the possible creation of two different textbooks.

Project Achievements:

Attendance at the Spring EB2013 meeting enabled significant gathering of information related to the project objectives. A new 400/500 level course was created, Extreme Physiology, which was offered in Fall 2013. Material was also incorporated into the Winter 2013 offerings of Physiol 600 (Pathophysiology) and Physiol 610 (Translational Physiology).

Continuation:
No. And the PI has since moved to a different institution.
Dissemination:
The course material developed for Physiol 406/506 (Extreme Physiology), Physiol 600 (Pathophysiology), and Physiol 610 (Translational Physiology), along with material for 3 other physiology courses, has been shared with teaching colleagues in MIP via shared access to the resources folders in the course CTools sites.
