Let's Learn Skeletal Anatomy!
A ten-week comprehensive course is being offered, delving deeply into the foundational aspects of the skeletal system. This course will cover the structure, function, and common disorders associated with the skeletal system.

1-2 hours per week. Each week their will be questions posted in the classroom to reply to, as well as a submission of games/work each week to check progressAssessment
Students will be assessed through quizzes and evaluations. There will be consistent weekly communication with me via chat, classroom posts, email and a weekly interactive gamesGrading
lesson grades are offered for any work they would like to turn in. When finished, I can make a certificate with the overall class average gradeClass Experience

This is a flex class. You will watch the video lesson (10 videos at approximately 30-60 minutes each). Then, you will engage in the interactive activities, class discussions on the classroom tab, and assignments. The assignments can be submitted in the private message tab or the classroom tab The class takes approximately 45 minutes to complete for each session. The class is divided into ten sessions And can be found in the syllabus. Communication throughout each session will include the following: I will use a variety of learning materials for this course to include: powerpoint presentations presented during the weekly class recorded video session, video/animated modeled, interactive online activities, and worksheets. I will be providing students with a hyperdocument worksheet to complete for each section where all the outside links are accessible (such as purpose game/free anatomy games/Quizlet/ Quizizz), and problem sets to complete. Students will not need to have accounts for any of the activities and games. By the end of the ten lessons weeks students will have a great understanding of the skeletal system
Learning Goals
The learning goals of a skeletal anatomy class typically revolve around developing a deep understanding of the structure, function, and clinical relevance of the human skeletal system. Here are some specific learning goals that students might aim to achieve:
1. **Identify and Describe Bones:** Students should be able to identify major bones of the human body and describe their location, shape, and key features.
2. **Understand Bone Structure:** Gain knowledge of the micro and macroscopic structure of bones, including bone tissue types, bone cells, and bone matrix composition.
3. **Comprehend Joint Types and Function:** Understand the different types of joints in the body, their structure, and how they facilitate movement and provide stability.
4. **Explain Bone Development and Growth:** Learn about the processes of ossification, bone growth, and bone remodeling throughout life, including the role of hormones and nutrition in bone health.
5. **Recognize Skeletal Pathologies:** Identify common skeletal disorders, such as osteoporosis, arthritis, fractures, and congenital abnormalities, and understand their causes, symptoms, and treatment options.
6. **Apply Knowledge to Clinical Contexts:** Understand the clinical significance of skeletal anatomy in fields such as orthopedics, radiology, physical therapy, and forensic science.
7. **Analyze Skeletal Adaptations:** Explore how the skeletal system adapts to various stimuli, such as exercise, aging, and environmental factors.
8. **Integrate Skeletal Anatomy with Other Body Systems:** Understand the relationships between the skeletal system and other body systems, such as the muscular, nervous, and circulatory systems, and how they work together to support bodily functions.
9. **Demonstrate Proficiency in Anatomical Terminology:** Use accurate anatomical terminology to describe the location, orientation, and relationships of bones and other structures within the body.
By achieving these learning goals, students will develop a solid foundation in skeletal anatomy that will serve as a basis for further study and application in various healthcare and scientific disciplines this can be done at your own pace with each lesson last one week at a time. This should take you 11 weeks to complete.
