The assignment is to describe and review a teaching experience within higher education, reason about the experience based on pedagogical theories/principles and discuss how the teaching session could be developed in order to better facilitate meaningful learning for the students.
Describe the aims, main content, the set-up and who the students are/the student group. The description should also show the context in which the teaching takes place and the learning outcomes in the course syllabus that your teaching session supports the students in achieving.
Review this session based on the pedagogical theories and principles that have been brought up during the course in relation to, for example, meaningful learning, student-centred teaching, the role of the teacher, outcome-related teaching, constructive alignment, etc. Discuss the ways in which the teaching/supervision facilitates the students' learning and what may constitute difficulties/obstacles.
Discuss what you could consider changing or developing in your teaching, describe how you would go about it and justify changes based on relevant pedagogical theories and concepts. Also describe how you could go about following up the students' learning (if you do not already do this). Your reasoning should be supported by references to course literature and/or other literature/research within higher education. Compile the literature you refer to in a list of references according to an accepted referencing system.

- The online study of Anatomy (IMAIOS).
How to evaluate:
- For the “younger” students (Undergraduate): Formative Quizzes – during the Course, “in itinere”.
The follow up of the students is based on quizzes twice (every 6 months) or three times (every 4 months) during
the year for the arms and the legs separately.
- For the “older” students (Master): the final evaluation will be held with observations in “constructive”
class activities at the end of the course generalizing, predicting, and evaluating the risk of recurrency of
the disease.

-The aim
At higher levels (1) I’m reporting the activities with my both Undergraduate Students and Radiology Residents where the main purpose to achieve was to learn how to describe an image: to explain how to recognize a pathological/normal finding and describe it. The real "game"/aim was finding the correlation with the "Para-physiological" findings that could be reported as pathological and the importance of the artifacts for the example in such "concrete" techniques as the Ultrasound.

Premises to the whole class: the knowledge of human anatomy is a basic principle for undergraduate/residents/postdoc students apart from their specialization and can be considered an “heritage” for life. The structure of the MSK Course can be seen as follows:
1-First Lecture (in the main classroomon the most important lines/signs and the most important anatomical cuts/basic s): introduction on the images from paper book-atlas (e.g., Netter) stressing the importance ections and their correlation with the normal human anatomy; correlation with radiological digital anatomy: introduction of IMAIOS and the basic correlation real-virtual anatomy.
2-First Feedback from the students by themselves:
Study of the most important anatomical cuts/basic sections on paper books-atlas based on the lecture in the main classroom and correlation with real-virtual anatomy on IMAIOS.
3-Second Lecture with the 2nd FEEDBACK (“peer to peer”) in small groups: exercise-study of "sample" images/diagnostic exams/cases:
a-Repetition of the human normal Anatomy and the correlation of the digital anatomy of IMAIOS.
b-Presentation of the first cases: the importance of analytical diagnostic-therapeutical approach.
c-Introduction of the concept of the workstation and how important is a DICOM-viewer app (e.g., OSIRIX) to go on training by themselves, on their personal device (a “personalized” individual workstation).

A set of clinical cases would be listed and showed to the audience of peers.
Teachers will ask students to describe the image with their own “luggage” of words/knowledge encouraging them to speak out and make "mistakes".
The youngest peers can fail or miss the findings at the beginning, feeling incompetent; by training themselves, the highest number of images they study at lesson, the most trained they will be (Prestructural phase) (5). They will find the most relevant (pathological) aspect of the image giving the finding a "personal" name (Unistructural phase). The teacher would correct them with the appropriate name making the peers listing, combining all the findings, describing them and, if an Ultrasound exam, making the peer repeat It to let him/her recover the finding (Multistructural phase). The aim in this case is make the student more secure and confident in the use/practice of the probe/radiological technique, also as “future teachers” themselves. Then as a teacher with their lecture teachers would give the peers the criteria and the "gold-standard" (most used) method to analyze, classify the findings according to a scientific/experience encoded bases. They would explain the causes and relate the finding to the etiology of what they are watching starting to write it into a “starting” report (Relational phase).
After describing the most important clinical-radiological findings the peers should be taught to give a list of the possible causes on what they see on the image shown (Differential Diagnosis) so they can formulate a set of diagnostic hypotheses with a grade/percentage of probability (Extended Abstract) in relation with the anamnesis/symptoms/signs/Lab exams of the Patient.
Here is reported the limit of the peer and where starts the role of the TEACHER.
The teaching method for the “older” students and the final assessment are related with the Structure of Observed Learning Outcomes (SOLO) taxonomies “served” for Anatomy (5):
1-Presentation of the clinical case starting to ask the peers the MSK Anatomy eventually studied on books at lesson (Prestructural basis): anamnesis with the history, symptoms-Lab analysis of the Patient.
2-Description of the image according to a “standardized” method for each radiological technique: lines-spaces/density for XR, density for CT, intensity for MR and echogenicity for the US according to the tissue/state of aggregation of the finding. Description of the Basic anatomical margins and joints e.g., bones-muscles, ligaments, and tendons showing the bone and its normal density different from the other MSK tissues (ligaments and tendons) in all the different radiological techniques: different structure, density, and intensity) (Unistructural approach).
3- Description of what is normal-anatomical variant or pathological to formulate Diagnostic hypothesis: a congenital/traumatic or an inflammatory-tumoral disease (Multistructural approach).
4- Formulation of the Differential Diagnosis: Listing of all the possible hypothesis to the finding (Relational Management) relating to anamnesis-LAB (Biomarkers) /+- Cytologic examination or Biopsy for the Neoadjuvant therapy (Antibiotic/Radio-chemotherapy) – with an Overall Meaning. Follow up after treatment with the evaluation of the regression (inflammation); progression (tumor and the following adjuvant Radio-chemotherapy).
5- Final Diagnosis: Anatomopathological Correlation and Follow up with the eventual relapse of the disease and the Evolution/Progression of the disease (Extended idea of the prediction of any recurrence).

In the Anatomical field, teachers are invited to be: “information-providers”, through the lectures where the students are called to distinguish the difference between the concept to learn “genuinely” and the “Teacher’s filter” used during the teaching/learning process to connect the dots with the right “variations”; “examiners” at the end of the course; “role models”, as a professional example for the peers, “facilitators” and incubators, “mentors” and tutors, and “planners” together with the students (above all in the small group activities) (2). The final aim is to focus on what the student is actively learning by working side-by-side to make the students “independent”, “active” and “receptive” (3).

A review on how the teaching session can be developed to facilitate meaningful learning.
How to evaluate?
5-Biggs JB & Collis KF (1982) “Evaluating the Quality of Learning: The SOLO Taxonomy”, New York: Academic Press.
How to facilitate meaningful learning:
- The use of the Workstation, the “portable Workstation” (OSIRIX).
- The online study of Anatomy (IMAIOS).
How to evaluate:
For the “younger” students (Undergraduate): Formative Quizzes – during the Course, “in itinere”.
The follow up of the students is based on quizzes twice (every 6 months) or three times (every 4 months) during the year for the arms and the legs separately.
- For the “older” students (Master): the final evaluation will be held with observations in “constructive” class activities at the end of the course generalizing, predicting, and evaluating the risk of recurrency of the disease.
The knowledge of the MSK anatomy should be aligned to the other modules of the program at the end of the Course of Anatomy and applied to the use of the workstations.
The use of workstations with the support of eLearning is an innovative changing and developing base for my Teaching and Learning Activity (TLA) where the student actively participates and control the quality of the image (zoom, contrast, measurements); it also creates variation in the teaching process during the lectures. During the Course the student is guided and constantly evaluated “by himself/herself”. The workstation in a continuous and motivating interaction to find the best angle or contrast in the picture which could help himself/herself and colleagues to understand the anatomy itself.
EVALUATION
The exam is made of multiple-answer questions on Normal human anatomy to grade, select and help to predict the result of the student at the exam. The Clinical cases are added exclusively for the older students of the 4th year and the residents. The result at the MSK exam could be considered as a formative assessment if considered during Anatomy, but also a summative result if considered in the average of the final vote exam at the end of the year (6).

The Relationship Teacher/Student is comparable to that Practitioner/Patient based on the “help to give”. The final word is to the student that “must” say if and why the anatomy is “for life” in his/her own final personal statement (“ANATOMY, FOR LIFE?”).

My example is called
Imaios – APP where is shown the Cross Sectional Anatomy – Real Time – Dynamic Learning_ MRI Head
CONCLUSIONS
The whole activity should be conducted in SMALL GROUPS to test the levels of CONFIDENCE of the single peer towards the single radiological finding. In each group asking questions and answering each other they would build their personal power using their own voice; the teacher should discover the source of the connections while making the peers experience connections with each other as human being themselves, pushing themselves past their own comfort zones of “STUDENTS” to that of “SPECIALISTS/PRACTICIONERS”. The teachers should TRUST in the connections created among the peers with an HIGHER SELF, a “third eye”. Talking each other the peers can increase their PERSONAL POWER from taking radical responsibility for themselves, their own life and experience, their emotional state, for a “resilient” consciousness framework based on FREEDOM.

Here is a typical radiological workstation composed of:
PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System)
on the right side of the image there is the list of the exam of patients with all those tools useful to recall from the archive the name, the type of the exam; in the middle and on the left side there two screens of visualization of the image. The
RIS (Radiology Information System) is an Electronic Health Record (EHR) to store and manipulate data and distribute radiologists reports.
On both sides there the speakers.
On the extreme right side there is a microphone for the voice recognition dictation software.
DICOM – Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine.
Is the standard for the communication and management of medical information and related data.
Contain multiple monochrome images and a rich set of metadata! Patient info, institution, modality.
Here is Osirix, the most “portable” DICOM-viewer.
Here are reported three examples of the use of Osirix in the clinical practice in research. These three images are taken from three different articles from the current literature.
A recent article from International Orthopaedics (2012) stressed the importance of eLearning (Osirix) for educating health professionals particularly in the cases of femoroacetabular impingement.
A recent article from Osteoarthitis Cartilage (2014) stressed the importance of eLearning (Osirix) for educating health professionals particularly in the cases of femoroacetabular impingement.
A recent article from BMC BioMed Central (2020) stressed the importance of eLearning (Osirix) for educating health professionals particularly in the cases of femoroacetabular impingement.
CONCLUSIONS
The whole TEACHING/LEARNING activity should be conducted in SMALL GROUPS to test the levels of CONFIDENCE of the single peer towards the single radiological finding. In each group asking questions and answering each other they would build their personal power using their own voice; the teacher should discover the source of the connections while making the peers experience connections with each other as human being themselves, pushing themselves past their own comfort zones of “STUDENTS” to that of “SPECIALISTS/PRACTICIONERS”.
