Protocols and resources: This page regroups the protocols that I wrote over the years to convert word files and powerpoint presentations (version 1997) in HTML, and to load these files in WebCT. Also included are the protocols to load exams in WebCT (standard and step-by-step protocols) as well as additional resources that I use to create digital products.

Our first web site: Created in 1996 and published in the Journal of Allied Health in 1997, my first web site shows some early examples of the use of digital pictures to support the traditional teaching of anatomy.
Surface Anatomy on the Web: This website is used as an interface for our CD-Web hybrid model which allows our students to access the MUSC Surface Anatomy website over a phone line/modem but at the same time allow them to view high quality video-clips using our CD. The HTML codes for this model where published in the New Anatomist ( New Anatomist. Vol 261: 78-82, 2000) and the model can be tested at http://www.musc.edu/~bacrotr/test.
Anatomy on the Web: This site was designed to allow access to the MUSC gross anatomy video-clips database. This database of short realplayer video-clips of cadaveric structures was developed at MUSC to supplement both traditional or online gross anatomy lectures as wellas to prepare for cadaver dissections laboratories. Upon entry on the site, double click the image on the center of the site to read more about the project and click on the term Samples in the lower corner of the web site to view some streaming samples. The viewer needs to use a Netscape browser, realplayer plug-in and a fast Internet connection to view the video-clip samples.

Web-based Assistive Technology: Funded by a grant from the South Carolina Developmental Disability Council, this site was created to support the teaching of assistive technology in the public schoold of the State of South Carolina. Learning modules complementing the web site were made available to the teachers using the CD-Web Hybrid model discussed above. WebCT was used for online exams delivery and intra-class communications (bulletin board and e-mail).

Future of Electronic Media: This Web site was created to illustrate a presentation entitled "What is the future of electronic media" to the International Anesthesia Research Society. Video-clips of radial artery and internal jugular vein catherizations created for this meeting are available in both the streaming and CD-web hybrid format. Again, the viewer needs to use a Netscape browser, realplayer plug-in and a fast Internet connection to view the video-clip samples.
