The University of Western Australia (UWA) teaching semester (23rd July – October 26th) is about to end. Professor John Campbell and I have presented lectures to UWA histology students enrolled in:
- Health Science/Biomedical Science
- Medicine and Dentistry
For our UWA histology students, we use Histology Online as the primary teaching resource. We supervise 1 laboratory practical session every 3 weeks for 1-2 hours.
John and I have been teaching histology together for over 10 years. But we are academics at two different universities. John comes here to UWA (for 10-12 weeks) from the Department of Neurobiology at The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).
John Campbell, UCLAI have previously gone to UCLA and taught in John’s histology course. This teaching collaboration has had many benefits including the presentation of histology courses that meet all learning outcomes expected of histology courses provided within Australian and USA Medical, Dental, Health and Biomedical Science curricula.
John Campbell and I will continue working together to further develop histology-online.

Good luck with this endeavour, Geoff.
Having been a teacher, tutor, trainer and coach in my career, I applaud new and exciting ways to engage students.
As a committed life-long learner, I also hope similar technology will be available next time I go back into the classroom
Do you believe this type of learning model could be replicated in other fields of study?
