ELearning
This course will use canvas as an eLearning platform and all course content will be available in MyUni and will be conveniently organised as modules that will contain:
1. Lecture notes and recordings,
2. Practical session notes, manuals and materials
3. Tutorial cases
The weekly in-class assessment will also be conducted through the MyUni eLearning platform so devices, providing access to canvas, need to be brought to each session. -
Learning & Teaching Activities
Learning & Teaching Modes
Applied clinical anatomy employs a wide range of teaching and learning modes, with an emphasis on a blended learning, flipped classroom approach. The course curriculum is organised by anatomical region into three modules that will address the relevant clinical anatomy of
(i) the head & neck,
(ii) thorax and
(iii) abdomen and pelvis.
Content for each module will be delivered using pre-class, in-class and post-class activities. Pre-class activity includes weekly pre-lecture activities / readings that will be summarised in a weekly plenary lecture. In-class activity will involve weekly two separate but closely aligned activities (cadaveric wet labs and clinical case-base dry labs) that will take the form of team-based collaborative learning that incorporates small group activities. Post-class activities will assess understanding, application and recall and will provide students with weekly feedback regarding their progress within the course.
Attendance and grading in each of the practicals will be conducted electronically using SpeedGrader in MyUni.Workload
The information below is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements.
Please refer to MyUni for full details.
Pre-lecture activities: 12x 1 hour = 12 hours
Lectures: 12 x 1 hour = 12 hours
Preparation for Laboratory and Tutorial Sessions: 1 hour per session x 24 = 24 hours
Laboratories: 12 x 1.5 hours = 18 hours
Tutorials: 12 x 1.5 hours = 18 hours
Examination: 2 x 2 hours = 4 hours
General study = 40 hours
TOTAL = approx. 130 hoursLearning Activities Summary
Course materials are divided into 3 modules:
Module 1: Thorax
Module 2: Abdomen and Pelvis
Module 3: Head and Neck
Pre-class activities
Each week, students will be provided with pre-lecture activities / readings that will be summarised in a weekly plenary lecture. The aim of the pre-class activity is to provide orientation and identification of key factual information and concepts relevant to the region being studied to facilitate understanding and recall.
In-class activities
Compulsory in-class activities include both wet and dry practical sessions that are designed in the form of small group discovery activities to provide enhanced opportunities for team-based and peer-assisted learning. In-class activities will be supported by an expert demonstrating team consisting of clinicians and medical and higher degree students.
Anatomical wet practicals involve exposure to cadaveric material, anatomical models, surface anatomy and medical images at 6 stations, including a formative assessment station. The completion of activities at each station provides an opportunity for visual and interactive learners to integrate the predominantly theoretical knowledge from pre-class activities with that obtained via personal observations and hands on investigation of the three-dimensional arrangement of anatomical structures to promote comprehensive understanding.
Dry practicals will involve clinical case-based activities that will be conducted in small groups to promote deep understanding, appreciation and application of core content. This active learning approach will promote application and analysis of the relevant content and will provide an opportunity for tutor and peer feedback.
Post-class activities
Students will also be required to complete summative assessment in the form of weekly online quizzes for each module. This Individual Readiness Assurance Testing (RAT) will be performed using canvas quizzes to provide real-time, modular feedback that will assist individual students gauging their understanding of and reflection on course content on a week-to-week basis. The small group discovery experience activities will be followed by team-RAT to further reinforce learning. The assessment has been “custom designed” to encourage students to keep up with the material throughout the course, and provides an opportunity for continual feedback. Select questions from the online quizzes, formatted to include multiple choice, fill-in-the-blanks, hot spots and short response type questions, will be included in the End of Semester theory exam.Specific Course Requirements
Applied Clinical Anatomy wet laboratory sessions
These are held in the Ray Last Anatomy Laboratory. To access this facility, you must wear (1) a laboratory coat, (2) closed-in shoes, and (3) your student identification card on your lab coat. You will not be permitted entry into this facility without these items. Please also bring a hardcopy of the laboratory handout and a pen/pencil as no electronic devices (phones, tablets, laptops) are allowed in this facility.
If you have NOT yet completed the online Ray Last Anatomy Laboratory Induction module, you will need to do so before commencement of the course. Please Note: you will need to purchase your own lab coat.
Applied Clinical Anatomy dry laboratory sessions
These will involve the completion of online summative quizzes through MyUni. Please ensure that you bring your own electronic device (smartphone, tablet, laptop) to this session and that it is charged and fully functional. -
Assessment
The University's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:
- Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
- Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
- Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
- Assessment must maintain academic standards.

Student Feedback
The University places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.
SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the University to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.
Please find details of enhancements based on previous eSELT feedback in MyUni -

Fraud Awareness
Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.
