"It Started Because of a Snow Day!" Making Online Videos as Customized Learning Tools

Instructors struggle with the amount of information they are expected to teach in the limited number of hours that are available in undergraduate human anatomy and physiology laboratories and students struggle with how to learn the terminology. When a snowstorm closed our campus, labs were cancelled for five of our fourteen lab sections. The graduate teaching assistants (GTAs) decided to make an online video using our models, presenting the terms for the week. Students who missed labs due to campus closure would be able to watch it in lieu of attending lab and keep up with those whose labs had not been canceled. The video received such positive feedback from students that the next semester, the GTAs produced the "Vanessa Videos" every week and posted them online for every lab section to utilize. The videos provide additional instruction outside of regular laboratory hours so that students can practice anatomy terms whenever it is convenient for them.
