http://www.wisc-online.com/

A large, searchable repository of learning objects in wide range of subjects, all implemented in Flash (as is much of the website). Of particular interest to School of Nursing members will be the section on Health but there are also some potentially useful LOs in the General Education section under:

  • Anatomy & Physiology I and II
  • General Chemistry
  • Microbiology

You have to register to use the site, but this is free, and you can deep-link to objects within the site.

LEARN DERMATOLOGY AS YOU PLAY A
COMPUTER GAME

An interactive game - You work your way through the rooms of a virtual dermatology clinic, interrupted at every turn by randomly chosen questions. You can set the difficulty of the questions and play either against time or against another player. Depending on the quality of your answers, you may be praised or insulted, but good fun is guaranteed as you learn even more dermatology.
