  1. The key points relating to the topic that your group allocated are clearly described.
  2. The choice of content, headings and sub-headings, diagrams, tables, graphs show a good understanding of the topic area.
  3. Content is correctly cited and referenced.
  4. The wiki has an element of teaching at a peer level using the student's own innovative diagrams, tables or figures and/or using interesting examples or explanations.
  5. Evidence of significant research relating to basic and applied sciences that goes beyond the formal teaching activities.
  6. Relates the topic and content of the Wiki entry to learning aims of embryology.
  7. Clearly reflects on editing/feedback from group peers and articulates how the Wiki could be improved (or not) based on peer comments/feedback. Demonstrates an ability to review own work when criticised in an open edited wiki format. Reflects on what was learned from the process of editing a peer's wiki.
  8. Evaluates own performance and that of group peers to give a rounded summary of this wiki process in terms of group effort and achievement.
  9. The content of the wiki should demonstrate to the reader that your group has researched adequately on this topic and covered the key areas necessary to inform your peers in their learning.
  10. Develops and edits the wiki entries in accordance with the above guidelines.
Uploading Images
Mark Hill.jpg First Read the help page Images

The following describes how to upload an image with all the information that must be associated with it.

The image must first be uploaded to the site.

  1. Open the left hand menu item “Toolbox” and click “Upload file” and a new window will open.
  2. Click the button ”Choose file” and navigate to where the image is located on your computer and double click the file.
  3. The window will now show the file name in the “Source filename” window.
  4. You can then rename the uploaded file in the “Destination filename” window.
    1. Make sure the new name accurately describes the image.
  5. Add a description of the image to the “Summary” window. Note the description must include:
    1. An image name as a section heading.
    2. Any further description of what the image shows.
    3. A subsection labeled “Reference” and under this the original image source, appropriate reference and all copyright information.
    4. Finally a template indicating that this is a student image. {{Template:Student Image}}

Images not including the above information will be deleted by the course coordinator and be considered in the student assessment process.

Students cannot delete uploaded images. Contact the course coordinator with the file address.

Referencing

Peer Reviews

Good introduction but I would move what happens in the embryonic development to the “development” section. Also, don’t forget any references and in-text citations for this section. Maybe add more on what the page is about and what the readers should be expecting. Nonetheless, it gives a good background of the key organs in this system. The diagram for the timeline of development is quite complex. Try to explain what is happening in this diagram within the “development” section. For example, maybe try to have the same headings (cell multiplication, cell migration, etc.) as the diagram for the “development” subheadings. Or, if you’re willing, make a timeline of your own. At least, you can make a simpler diagram where only relevant information is included. Good job on the “Visible Anatomical Details” table.

On current findings, good choice on research articles. They’re very relevant to the topic and to the project as well. Maybe try to add some images if possible. Also, try to add some dates or anything to show how recent these studies are. There is a bit of imbalance in terms of the amount of content for each study but nonetheless, this section was written well. Good job! As for “abnormalities”, this section was done well. Each disease was written with lots of detail but very concisely. I do suggest adding more images that show the clinical manifestation of each disease. Also, don’t just focus on the manifestations of each defects. Try to look for current treatments or techniques on managing the abnormality. Also, maybe look for more references.

On historic findings, where is it? There is a section on the Wikipage that has old books on embryology. It’s under the “Explore” tab and you’ll see “Historic embryo”.

I’ve check all the images and there are no issues with them in terms of copyright. I can see that you tried to add captions to each photo, which is good but you can format the image in a way so that the caption is framed with the photo. Check out the [Image Formatting] guide to do this. Overall, this page is very detailed and written very well. Just try to edit the page and make it look cleaner.

This project page is very nicely organised with the group clearly specifying what aspect of neural development they are covering, being the CNS. The use of headings and subheadings is done very neatly, however sections 1.1-1.5 could be subheadings for the larger title ‘system development’. The key points have been clearly described but there is no referencing throughout the ‘Introduction’, ‘Brain development’ and ‘Abnormalities’ sections. Most key points have at least some information on them which is good for this stage of the project; however some of the headings without could use some more work.

The choice of content is highly appropriate and the use of diagrams and pictures help show the groups understanding of the project thus far. I particularly like the use of subheadings in this project as they make the page look neater and organised. The image showing the timeline of fetal neural development is good however perhaps it would be better to draw or make a timeline on the computer in order to show better understanding of the time course of fetal development. Most images that have been uploaded are also well referenced and when clicking onto them, it takes the reader to a page that has more information related to the image. The table to describe anatomical details is also done well and is important that such a key point is mentioned seeing as this is an anatomy course.

I also really like how the ‘Current research, models and findings’ section is split into ‘Current research’ and ‘Future Research’, however it seems future research needs to be further looked into. The ‘Abnormalities’ section is done very well, with multiple abnormalities listed with images used to show each one. The bolding of several key words is seen and is helpful in showing understanding of some of the key points. There are also no historic findings so try and find some information on that.

Referencing is correctly done with most references being in one main section at the end, and ordered correctly. In-cite referencing is also done correctly. All images are correctly referenced with copyright information present and the student image template. I also like the way the current research findings sources have been referenced with the use of dot points assisting learning by not just presenting to the reader as a blob of information.

Overall, well done group 7! Keep up the great work!


--Z3418981 (talk) 14:21, 16 August 2014 (EST) Hey everyone,

What's everyone's ideas about doing the neural system for our project? there are lots of interesting Neurologic deficits that we could talk about!!!

--Z3419587 (talk) 23:25, 16 August 2014 (EST) That's a good idea. Neural system is a complex structure and it should be fun to work on it! Any other ideas?

--Z3374116 (talk) 23:51, 19 August 2014 (EST) I talked to Yas before, sorry couldnt respond faster haha. Agree that Neural system would be interesting to research :p

Do you guys have facebook as well? It might be an additional way to communicate

--Z3422484 (talk) I also agree on this topic being quite interesting as well --Z3418981

--Z3418981 (talk) 10:54, 25 August 2014 (EST) hey guys it's yas! so we each need to choose one of the following: Review the neural system development during the fetal period. Identify current research models and finding. Identify historic findings. Identify abnormalities that can occur in this system during fetal period.

--Z3419587 (talk) 21:07, 25 August 2014 (EST) Thanks! This is vivian. Can I do "the review of the neural system development during the fetal period"? Or if anyone wants to do this section?

--Z3374116 (talk) 12:07, 26 August 2014 (EST) Hey guys, Can i do historic findings for fetal neutral system development :) - Sean


--Z3419587 (talk) 17:47, 26 August 2014 (EST)I have put some subtitles to give a brief structure to our webpage, feel free to change them if you want!


--Z3418981 (talk) 17:51, 26 August 2014 (EST) sure and I'll do the abnormalities - Yas

--Z3419587 (talk) 18:25, 26 August 2014 (EST) hey Yas, see if this helps. <pubmed>25007063</pubmed>

--Z3418981 (talk) 21:14, 26 August 2014 (EST) Thanks Vivian!! the article is very helpful! and the page looks really good too :)

--Z3374116 (talk) 20:18, 26 August 2014 (EST) Hey guys, I think the last entry from my section will help alot in the Development section for our project :) - Sean

<pubmed>17848161</pubmed>

--Z3419587 (talk) 23:14, 26 August 2014 (EST) That's true! thanks Sean :) - vivian

--Z3422484--Z3422484 (talk) 12:50, 27 August 2014 (EST) Hey guys, this is a useful article for the abnormalities area

<pubmed>24664314</pubmed>

--Z3374116 (talk) 23:55, 1 September 2014 (EST) nice one :D How are you guys going with your sections?

--Z3374116 (talk) 12:58, 17 September 2014 (EST) <pubmed>10226791</pubmed> maybe for development

--Z3374116 (talk) 21:12, 20 September 2014 (EST) http://www.ehd.org/cache/pdf/fd7e47f291dded855c38ffb3418fbdc8/timeline.pdf

something which might help us figure out a timeline structure

--Z3374116 (talk) 11:56, 24 September 2014 (EST) http://discovery.lifemapsc.com/library/review-of-medical-embryology A textbook which has great information on the development of the CNS during the fetal period

--Z3422484 (talk) 11:35, 8 October 2014 (EST) Hey guys i will be adding a few extra research articles to the current research tab

--Z3422484 (talk) 11:35, 8 October 2014 (EST) Also is there anything else anyone needs help on as well?

--Z3422484 (talk) 12:09, 8 October 2014 (EST) Forgot to mention that I'll also be adding spinal cord abnormalities

  • Good start on the introduction. Maybe have it used to explicitly state what your entire page will be covering rather than just a background on what the CNS is.
  • You're missing references for the huge chunks of information in the introduction section
  • The image of the timeline of development seems overly complex and I can't tell if you've explained it. If it's not relevant, maybe just come up with your own concise table of what happens during the course of development
  • Maybe think of re-creating some simpler images by hand and uploading them. That way you can choose to focus on what you actually need from the image to show what you're explaining
  • Include the years of when your current findings were discovered
  • For the "abnormalities" section, as there are many, maybe the amount of detail you've included for the first couple of ones isn't needed, but of course, use your own discretion to how much is relevant. Otherwise, the bullet points are a good way to simplify information
  • Collate all your references in the bottom from all the separate sections
