Overview
Our goal is to support every Medical School course via the web both administratively (handouts, scheduling, basic course information, etc.) and with rich content based learning tools (java applets, interactive images, animations, interactive quizzing, streaming video, etc.).

Project Status
Currently all of the preclinical courses and some elective courses are on the website. We are supporting all required clinical clerkships and have an online student evaluation form preceptors can submit to the Clerkships coordinator. WebCT (a course content manager application) is our underlying framework to distribute materials via the web.

New curriculum content is created for required Medical School courses at the request of Course Directors or with ideas generated by the Curriculum Web Project Research Assistants or current medical students. Course content is produced using HTML, CGI, Java, Dreamweaver, Adobe Photoshop, Flash and Director with interactivity as a primary goal for learning modules. An example of a very innovative content module for Developmental Anatomy is Simbryo, developed with the support of SUMMIT and the Anatomy Department. Take a look at the "Preview" version of simbryo at: http://simbryo.stanford.edu

All of the required preclinical courses have streaming video links of lectures which use Real Video technology. The Instructional Facilities Office videotapes courses, streams digital video files and links content on this website, for more information contact videoaction@lanelib.stanford.edu.

Access to the CWP
Access to the full CWP is available to registered Medical Students, Graduate Students, and Medical school staff. If you are affiliated with the Stanford Medical School you may apply for an account online.
