Developmental Anatomy Integration into Clinical Anatomy Education using Online Embryology Resources
Clinical anatomy pedagogy was traditionally taught through wet specimens and is now supplemented by a range of videos and other online resources. Clinical embryology was also traditionally taught as "micro-anatomy" using models and/or histological sections from key stages of development. This methodology was always limited in both scope and accessibility. This presentation will demonstrate how dynamic events in embryology can be integrated into new developmental anatomy educational methods. In 1996 online embryology education at UNSW began with histological sections and a small number of other support resources. In 2004, a new Medicine program began that “blurred” the discipline approach to clinical anatomy teaching, now being integrated into broader cross-discipline “scenarios”. This also provided an opportunity to redesign embryology lecture and practical resources that students could access during and outside of face-to-face teaching times. In 2009, these integrated resources were moved to a new “Wiki” platform, allowing student contributions and knowledge assessment through quiz format items. Pedagogy now is a broad mixture of educational resources classified by anatomical systems and integrated into developmental timelines including: text, histology, normal and abnormal anatomy images, scanning electron micrographs, animations, ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, research materials, links and online textbook access. Content can be easily updated in response to student feedback and accessed from anywhere with internet access, opening the possibility of MOOC teaching. Students can now relate both normal and abnormal development to the clinical adult anatomy.

Student Projects
Medicine
- Part of the Medicine undergraduate program allows for individual students to work on research or educational projects related to medicine.
- The projects are academically supervised and are described as an "Independent Learning Project" (ILP).

Cardiac Embryology Tutorial | Carnegie Stage Embryo 3D Animations |
Science
- Since 2009 undergraduate science students have been preparing online group projects as part of their ANAT2341 Embryology course.
- Student group (4-5 students) selects a specific topic within the main theme that they then research and work collaboratively on that topic throughout the semester.
- The project is then assessed by their peers before being finally edited for submission as their group assessment component for the course.
