The True Story of What Happens Inside Our Bodies!

Each week in this flex class, we will cover different aspects of the human body.  We will talk about both the anatomy and the physiology of that particular aspect. There is no prior experience needed to take this class. We will discuss every layer of each particular system, including the cells, tissues and organs. We will also learn how all of these work together so that each system can function properly.  I will include throughout this discussion a demonstration of how each system has to work with the other systems in the body, in order for the body to function as a whole.
At the beginning of each week, I will upload a link to that weeks lesson/ slide show on youtube.  The lesson will be divided into a minimum of two videos, sometimes as many as five videos.  It just depends on how well the information separates.  Altogether, each lesson ranges from 45 to 50 minutes long. There will also be a handout provided that will go with the lesson that contains questions that will help the student to follow along. Each week, the students will be encouraged to upload a short video or written paragraph answering a discussion question related to each topic. There will also be a quiz on Kahoot at the end of the week.
Learners are encouraged to make comments on each other's posts in the classroom.  
I will respond to any questions within 24 hrs.

How is this course interactive?
1) Discussions: Students are encouraged to participate in the discussions to get to know fellow students from around the world! The more active students are in discussions, the more we can build a sense of community.
2) Quizzes: Students will have the option of completing fun quizzes via an external website (Kahoot) each week. No registration or account necessary!
3) Fun Activities: There will be fun activities each week where students can complete and post their results in the classroom. Sharing with each other will be a great way for students to interact and see creativity within the class.
4) Supplementary Videos:  If needed, I will be posting supplementary videos in the class to coincide with the pre-recorded video. This will allow students to have more visual understanding of concepts discussed.
