Embryology Course I - Introduction, Gametogenesis, ImplantationRawa Muhsin
This is is the first session of a basic human embryology course, and it discusses:
1. Gametogenesis (both spermato- and oo-genesis)
2. Fertilization
3. Implantation of the zygote in the uterine wall
During the second week of embryo development:
- The blastocyst is partially or completely embedded in the endometrial lining, with the trophoblast differentiating into layers. The embryoblast also divides into the hypoblast and epiblast.
- A small cavity, the future amniotic cavity, appears in the epiblast. The syncytiotrophoblast penetrates deeper into the endometrial stroma and establishes the first circulatory system between the embryo and mother.
- By the end of the second week, the extraembryonic mesoderm and chorionic cavity have formed, and primary villi with syncytial covering have begun to develop in the chorionic cavity.
The document provides clinical guidelines for evaluating and managing amenorrhea. It discusses the different types of amenorrhea including primary and secondary. For evaluation, it recommends taking a medical history, physical exam, ultrasound exam, and lab tests to identify potential causes. Common causes discussed include polycystic ovary syndrome, thyroid issues, eating disorders, excessive exercise, and genetic conditions. Treatment depends on the underlying cause but may include hormone replacement therapy or lifestyle changes.
The document discusses early embryonic development during the second week of pregnancy. Key events include:
- Implantation of the blastocyst in the endometrium is completed by day 7.
- The blastocyst forms an inner cell mass (embryoblast) and outer cell mass (trophoblast).
- By day 13, structures have formed including the amniotic cavity, yolk sac, chorionic villi, and connecting stalk between the embryo and placenta.
- Through this week, the embryonic disc splits into two layers and the trophoblast splits into an inner and outer layer. This lays the foundation for further organ development.
The document provides an overview of human sexual and reproductive anatomy and physiology. It describes the key functions and roles of both the male and female reproductive systems. The male's role is to produce sperm and deliver it to the female tract, while the female produces eggs and provides a nurturing environment for fertilization and development. Both sexes produce hormones that influence sexual development and function. The document then goes into extensive detail about the internal and external anatomy of both male and female reproductive organs.
This document summarizes congenital anomalies of the male and female genitalia that can occur during early fetal development. It describes how the genitalia initially develop similarly in both sexes, but differentiate by 12 weeks. Common anomalies include abnormalities of the gonads, genital ducts, and external genitalia. Specific issues covered include agenesis or dysgenesis of the ovaries/testes, hermaphroditism, undescended testes, and anomalies of the penis, clitoris, uterus and vagina such as duplication, absence or fusion defects. The document was presented by Dr. Marwan Alhalabi at a conference in Erbil, Iraq in 2013.

This document summarizes congenital anomalies of the male and female genitalia that can occur during early fetal development. It describes how the genitalia initially develop similarly in both sexes, but differentiate by 12 weeks. Common anomalies include abnormalities of the gonads, genital ducts, and external genitalia. Specific issues covered include agenesis or dysgenesis of the ovaries/testes, hermaphroditism, undescended testes, and anomalies of the penis, clitoris, uterus and vagina such as duplication, absence or fusion defects. The document was presented by Dr. Marwan Alhalabi at a conference in Erbil, Iraq in 2013.
Implantation of the blastocyst in the uterine lining leads to formation of the placenta and fetal membranes. The ovarian cycle results in follicular development and ovulation. The decidua forms from secretory endometrium under the influence of estrogen and progesterone. Implantation involves apposition, adhesion and invasion of the trophoblast into the decidua. The placenta develops from chorionic villi and undergoes remodeling of the maternal spiral arteries to establish maternal blood flow to the intervillous space. The fetal membranes, including the amnion and chorion, develop and enclose the developing embryo.
The organs of the male reproductive system include the
testes, a system of ducts (including the epididymis, ductus deferens,ejaculatory ducts, and urethra).
accessory sex glands (seminal vesicles, prostate, and bulbourethral glands),
several supporting structures, including the scrotum and the penis.
The testes (male gonads) produce sperm and secrete hormones.
The duct system transports and stores sperm, assists in their maturation, and conveys them to the exterior.
Semen contains sperm plus the secretions provided by the accessory sex glands.
The supporting structures have various functions. The penis delivers sperm into the female reproductive tract and the scrotum supports the testes.
Gametogenesis is the process of developing mature gametes (eggs and sperm) through meiosis. Oogenesis involves the development of a primary oocyte into a secondary oocyte over many years in females. Spermatogenesis is the process where spermatogonia develop into spermatozoa in males. Fertilization occurs when a sperm penetrates an egg in the fallopian tube, and their genetic material combines to form a zygote, beginning the process of embryogenesis.
The document discusses the process of fertilization and early embryonic development. It begins with an overview of the events of fertilization, including sperm penetration through the corona radiata and zona pellucida, the cortical reaction, and fusion of the male and female pronuclei. It then describes the early cleavage stages, where the zygote undergoes rapid cell divisions without growth to form a morula, followed by blastulation and implantation in the uterus. Key events include capacitation of sperm, the acrosomal reaction, prevention of polyspermy, and formation of the blastocyst from the inner cell mass and trophoblast.
Development of the female genital systemPukar Sapkota
Gonadal development in females occurs slowly, with the ovaries not being identifiable until 10 weeks. Between 16-18 weeks, cortical cords in the developing ovaries break up and form primordial follicles, each containing an oogonium surrounded by follicular cells. Approximately 2 million primordial follicles are present at birth, though many degenerate during fetal development. The paramesonephric ducts play a leading role in female development, fusing to form the uterovaginal primordium which develops into the uterus and upper vagina. Estrogen produced by the placenta and fetal ovaries leads to the feminization of the external genitalia.
Gametogenesis is the process of forming gametes (eggs and sperm) from gonads through meiosis. In males, spermatogenesis occurs in the testes through spermatocytogenesis, meiosis I and II, and spermiogenesis. In females, oogenesis occurs in the ovaries through follicular development, ovulation, and the luteal phase. Infertility can result from problems with gametogenesis like inflammation of the testes or failure of the ovaries to ovulate, as well as issues with the fallopian tubes, cervix, or uterus.
Spermatogenesis is the process by which sperm cells are produced in the testes in males. It involves the transformation of spermatogonia into mature sperm through two stages: spermatocytogenesis where primordial germ cells develop into spermatids, and spermiogenesis where spermatids are transformed into mature sperm. In humans, it takes approximately 74 days to complete and produces around 300 million sperm cells daily. Oogenesis is the similar process that occurs in females within the ovaries to produce eggs.
During the first two weeks of development, the fertilized egg undergoes cell division through cleavage to form a blastocyst. The blastocyst implants in the uterine wall and begins to develop two cell layers - the outer trophoblast and inner cell mass. The trophoblast layer further separates into cytotrophoblast and syncytiotrophoblast. The syncytiotrophoblast starts to invade the maternal tissues and establish placenta. Meanwhile, the cell mass develops into the amniotic cavity and the yolk sac to support the growing embryo. Primary villi also begin to form on the trophoblast as the basis for later placenta development.
Oogenesis begins in the female embryo with primordial germ cells differentiating into oogonia that divide to form millions of germ cells. During gestation most oogonia die off while the remaining enter the first meiotic division to become primary oocytes that remain in the ovaries in a non-dividing state. At puberty, a drop in estrogen signals the release of hormones that stimulate around 20 primary oocytes to mature through meiosis I to become secondary oocytes with one being ovulated from its follicle while the others are reabsorbed. If the ovulated oocyte is fertilized, the empty follicle forms the corpus luteum which produces hormones to support pregnancy.
The document discusses various women's reproductive disorders and the menstrual cycle. It describes the internal female genital organs and the two phases of the menstrual cycle. It then discusses menstrual disorders like amenorrhea, dysfunctional uterine bleeding, and dysmenorrhea. It provides information on the causes and treatments of these disorders. The document also covers other topics related to women's health issues like infertility, early pregnancy loss, menopause, and premenstrual syndrome.
The female reproductive system includes internal organs like the ovaries and uterus, as well as external genitalia. During fetal development, oogonia in the ovaries differentiate into oocytes, with millions present at birth but only a few hundred reaching maturity. Each month during a woman's reproductive years, hormones cause follicles in the ovaries to mature and release an egg in a process called ovulation. If fertilized by sperm, the follicle forms a corpus luteum to support early pregnancy; if not, it breaks down into a corpus albicans. The thickened uterine lining either sustains embryo implantation during pregnancy or is shed during menstruation.
This document discusses the diagnosis and management of menstrual disorders. It begins by reviewing normal menstrual physiology and providing terminology used to describe different types of menstrual disorders. It then discusses the general approach to taking a history and performing an examination for patients presenting with menstrual complaints. Specific sections cover the evaluation and treatment of dysmenorrhea, menorrhagia, amenorrhea, and anovulatory bleeding. Causes and management approaches are provided for different menstrual disorders.
This document discusses gametogenesis and fertilization in humans. It describes the processes of spermatogenesis in males, where spermatogonia undergo meiosis to form spermatids over 64 days, and oogenesis in females. Fertilization occurs when a sperm and egg unite in the uterine tubes, restoring the diploid chromosome number and determining the embryo's sex. The result can be a single embryo, or monozygotic or dizygotic twins in rare cases of splitting or separate eggs being fertilized.
The document provides an overview of the anatomy of the female genital tract. It describes the internal anatomy, including the uterus which receives fertilized eggs and provides an environment for fetal development, the vagina which connects to the cervix and serves as the birth canal, and the fallopian tubes and ovaries which are involved in ovulation and fertilization. It then describes the external female genitals including the mons pubis, clitoris, labia majora, labia minora and vulva.
Ovulation, fertilization, implantation (1 st weekMarami Mustapa
The document discusses the processes of ovulation, fertilization, and implantation. It explains that ovulation is triggered by hormones like LH and FSH, leading to the release of an egg. If fertilization by sperm occurs, the fertilized egg undergoes cell division and develops into a blastocyst over a week. The blastocyst then implants in the uterus by attaching to the endometrial lining with the help of hormonal changes brought on by the corpus luteum.
This document discusses frigidity and vaginismus. It defines frigidity as a psychological condition where a female fails to respond to sexual stimulus or has an aversion to intercourse. Vaginismus is defined as a somatic manifestation of severe frigidity involving reflex-like vaginal muscle contractions that prevent penetration. The document discusses definitions, types, causes, diagnosis, treatment and medico-legal importance of these conditions. While frigidity and vaginismus can be treated, courts have ruled that they are generally not valid grounds for divorce on their own.
The menstrual cycle involves coordinated changes in the ovaries and uterus driven by hormones. It typically lasts 28 days and includes a follicular phase where an egg matures and is released, ovulation, and a luteal phase where the corpus luteum develops. Hormones like FSH, LH, estrogen and progesterone regulate this cycle. The endometrium thickens during the follicular phase in response to rising estrogen, and further changes during the luteal phase due to progesterone to prepare for potential implantation. If implantation does not occur, hormone levels drop and the endometrium is shed as menstruation.
This document summarizes diseases of the ovaries, classifying them into primary inflammatory disorders, functional cysts, and ovarian tumors. It describes the histological structure of the normal ovary and then discusses each disease type in detail, including their morphology, pathogenesis, and potential complications. Primary inflammatory disorders cause premature ovarian failure through autoimmune destruction. Functional cysts include follicular, luteal, and stromal hyperthecosis cysts. Ovarian tumors are further divided into surface epithelial-stromal tumors, sex cord-stromal tumors, germ cell tumors, and metastatic cancers from other primary sites. Each tumor type has specific subtypes and histological features.
The document summarizes the development of the female genital system from indifferent gonads to internal and external structures. It describes how in the absence of the SRY gene, the gonads develop into ovaries through proliferation of surface epithelium into cortical cords containing primordial follicles. The paramesonephric ducts fuse to form the uterovaginal canal and give rise to the uterus and upper vagina. The lower vagina develops from sinovaginal bulbs. External structures like the labia, clitoris and vestibule form from the genital tubercle and urogenital folds. Anomalies can occur if fusion of ducts is incomplete.
The document discusses the embryology and development of the female genital system. It notes that the basic components include the gonads (ovaries), genital duct systems (mesonephric and paramesonephric ducts), and external genitalia. It describes the development of the ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, and vagina from the undifferentiated embryonic stage through fetal development. Common abnormalities are also summarized, including anomalies of the ovaries, uterus, and vagina that can result from disruptions during development.
The female reproductive system includes the ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, cervix, and vagina. The ovaries produce eggs and secrete female sex hormones including estrogen and progesterone. Estrogen stimulates the growth of sexual organs and secondary sex characteristics. It regulates the menstrual cycle and prepares the uterus for pregnancy. Progesterone is secreted by the corpus luteum after ovulation and prepares the uterus for implantation. It inhibits menstruation during pregnancy. Both hormones work through receptors on target cells and are regulated through negative feedback on the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis.

Male and Female Reproductive PathophysiologyDana Luery
This document provides information on male and female reproductive anatomy, physiology, hormones, and pathophysiology. It describes the key parts of the male and female reproductive systems, their functions, and important reproductive hormones such as FSH, LH, estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. It also summarizes common reproductive issues in males like prostatitis, BPH, and testicular cancer, and in females like menstrual abnormalities, STDs, endometriosis, ovarian cysts, and cancers of the breast, cervix, and uterus.
The document provides an overview of the male reproductive system including primary and secondary sex organs. It describes the testes, epididymis, vas deferens, seminal vesicles, prostate gland, bulbourethral glands, penis, and scrotum. It discusses the anatomy, histology, and functions of these organs in sperm production and ejaculation. The seminiferous tubules in the testes are where sperm are produced, and the accessory glands secrete fluids that protect, nourish, and transport sperm.
Semen examination provides important evidence in sexual assault cases. Semen is composed of sperm cells suspended in seminal fluid. Initial presumptive tests for semen examine for the presence of enzymes like acid phosphatase. Confirmatory testing requires microscopic examination of the stain to identify sperm cells, as their presence confirms the source was human semen. Proper collection and handling of evidence from victims and suspects is crucial, as it allows laboratory examination to detect potential DNA transfers that can identify assailants. Semen evidence plays a key role in medico-legal cases involving rape, sodomy, incest, and disputed paternity.
Development of the reproductive system.pptxSamuelRexy2
This document summarizes the development of the reproductive system from an indifferent embryo to differentiated male and female genital organs. It describes that in weeks 1-6 the embryo is phenotypically indistinguishable, but by week 12 external genitalia characteristics emerge. The components that will form the adult reproductive system develop between weeks 1-20. It then details how the gonads, ducts, sinus, phallus, folds, and swellings differentiate into ovaries/testes and female/male genital organs. Finally, it notes the ovaries and testes descend into the pelvis/scrotum with help from the gubernaculum and processus vaginalis.

It discusses gamete formation through spermatogenesis and oogenesis, as well as the hormonal regulation of the menstrual and ovarian cycles. Key hormones and their roles in reproduction are defined. The processes of mitosis, meiosis, fertilization and early embryonic development are also summarized.
The female reproductive system consists of ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, cervix and vagina. The ovaries contain developing follicles which mature into graafian follicles under FSH stimulation. One graafian follicle ruptures monthly releasing an ovum, in a process called ovulation. The fallopian tubes receive the ovum and provide the site for fertilization. The uterus houses the developing embryo during pregnancy. The cervix connects the uterus to the vagina, which receives sperm during intercourse.
The document summarizes the male reproductive system. It describes the external anatomy including the penis and scrotum. Internally it discusses the testes, epididymis, ductus deferens, and accessory sex glands. Spermatogenesis and the role of hormones like testosterone are explained. Ejaculation involves emission of semen from the epididymis, vas deferens and accessory glands into the urethra, then expulsion during orgasm.
This document discusses human reproductive anatomy and physiology. It describes the primary and secondary sexual characteristics present at birth and during puberty in males and females.

The Widal test is a serological method used to diagnose typhoid or enteric fever caused by Salmonella typhi, Salmonella paratyphi A, B, and C. It detects antibodies in patient serum that agglutinate specific antigens prepared from Salmonella species. A positive result indicates a recent or past infection. While it has low specificity and can be difficult to interpret, the Widal test remains useful for diagnosing typhoid fever in developing countries due to its low cost. More specific tests such as Typhidot and PCR are also used but are more expensive. The document provides details on how to perform and interpret the Widal test as well as alternative diagnostic methods for typhoid fever.
Pneumonia is caused by bacteria like Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae that infect the alveoli of the lungs, filling them with fluid and reducing respiratory efficiency. Common symptoms include fever, cough, and headache. The common cold is caused by rhinoviruses infecting the nasal passages and upper respiratory tract, causing symptoms like nasal congestion and sore throat that typically last 3-7 days. Malaria is transmitted by the bite of an infected female Anopheles mosquito, whose sporozoites enter the liver and infect red blood cells, rupturing them and releasing toxins that cause high fevers and chills in a recurring pattern.
This document discusses human health and diseases. It defines health as a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being maintained through balanced diet, hygiene and exercise. Disease is any condition that interferes with normal body functioning and causes mental distress. Diseases are classified as infectious, which can be transmitted between people, and non-infectious, which cannot. Infectious diseases are further divided into bacterial, viral, protozoan, fungal and helminthic types. Typhoid fever is caused by the Salmonella typhi bacterium transmitted through food and water, and symptoms include persistent high fever and abdominal pain.
This document contains questions about human health and diseases. It asks about abbreviations related to the immune system and diseases like AIDS. It also asks about how HIV is transmitted and the differences between cancerous and normal cells. Other questions cover metastasis, the effects of alcohol and drug abuse, carcinogens, the cell mediated immune system, malaria parasites, the life cycles of HIV and malaria, cancer diagnosis and treatment methods, CT and MRI scans for cancer detection, and why cannabinoids are banned in sports. The document also provides short sections with multiple choice questions about different lessons.
Cancer is defined as uncontrolled cell division without differentiation that can form tumors. There are two main types of tumors - benign tumors which are non-cancerous and stop growing, and malignant tumors which are cancerous and show indefinite growth and metastasis. Cancer is caused by factors like chemicals, radiation, viruses, and genes that control cell growth becoming mutated oncogenes or tumor suppressor genes being inactivated. Common cancer treatments include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy and targeting biological factors like interferons.
AIDS is caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) which is transmitted through sexual contact, contaminated blood transfusions, sharing infected needles, or from mother to child. HIV infects helper T-cells and macrophages, replicating within them and destroying helper T-cells. This progressively weakens the immune system and allows opportunistic infections. AIDS is diagnosed through ELISA testing and prevented through education, safe sex practices, blood screening, and treatment of infected individuals.
The document discusses active and passive immunity, vaccination and immunization, allergies, autoimmunity, and the immune system. It defines active immunity as developing due to contact with a pathogen or antigen, while passive immunity involves injecting readymade antibodies. Vaccination introduces a weakened pathogen to provide future protection, while immunization is the body's production of antibodies in response. The immune system includes primary lymphoid organs like bone marrow and thymus where lymphocytes develop and mature, and secondary organs like spleen and lymph nodes where lymphocytes interact with antigens.
This document discusses innate and acquired immunity. Innate immunity is present from birth and provides non-specific defenses like physical barriers and cellular barriers that fight pathogens. Acquired immunity develops from exposure to pathogens and produces pathogen-specific antibodies and immune cells. It has memory that allows faster responses. Acquired immunity includes humoral immunity involving B-cell produced antibodies and cell-mediated immunity involving T-cells. Antibodies are Y-shaped proteins called immunoglobulins that recognize pathogens.
This document discusses several human diseases caused by pathogens. It describes amoebic dysentery caused by the intestinal parasite Entamoeba histolytica transmitted through contaminated food and water. It also discusses ringworm fungi transmitted through contact with infected individuals. Finally, it discusses ascariasis caused by the roundworm Ascaris lumbricoides transmitted through contaminated vegetables and fruits, and filariasis caused by filarial worms transmitted by Culex mosquitoes which can cause elephantiasis.
The document discusses biodiversity and its conservation. It defines biodiversity as the variety of life forms found on Earth, including genetic, species, and ecosystem diversity. Biodiversity is highest in the tropics and decreases with increasing latitude. Species diversity also increases with area. While over 1.5 million species have been identified, actual species diversity is estimated to be much higher. Habitat loss and overexploitation are major threats and have contributed to past and ongoing mass extinctions. Conserving biodiversity is important for maintaining ecosystem services, as well as ethical reasons.
The document defines key terms related to ecosystems, including that an ecosystem is a functional unit where living organisms interact with each other and the physical environment.

For drugs and alcohol, it describes commonly abused substances like opioids, cannabinoids, cocaine, hallucinogens, LSD, tobacco, and alcohol and provides details on how each is obtained and their effects on the body.
The document summarizes key concepts in immunology. The immune system comprises organs and cells that provide innate and acquired immunity. Innate immunity provides non-specific defenses like physical and chemical barriers. Acquired immunity is pathogen-specific and can be active from infection/vaccination or passive from antibodies. It includes humoral immunity from B cells producing antibodies and cell-mediated immunity from T cells. Vaccines provide active immunization by introducing weakened pathogens. The immune system can also respond abnormally in autoimmunity and allergies. Primary lymphoid organs like the bone marrow and thymus develop immune cells while secondary organs like the spleen and lymph nodes activate immune responses.
The document repeatedly lists "SHUBHADEEP BHATTACHARJEE/ EUREKA CLASSES" over multiple lines without providing any other context or information. It is unclear what the purpose or content of the document is based on this minimal information provided.
The ability to recreate computational results with minimal effort and actionable metrics provides a solid foundation for scientific research and software development. When people can replicate an analysis at the touch of a button using open-source software, open data, and methods to assess and compare proposals, it significantly eases verification of results, engagement with a diverse range of contributors, and progress. However, we have yet to fully achieve this; there are still many sociotechnical frictions.
Inspired by David Donoho's vision, this talk aims to revisit the three crucial pillars of frictionless reproducibility (data sharing, code sharing, and competitive challenges) with the perspective of deep software variability.
Our observation is that multiple layers — hardware, operating systems, third-party libraries, software versions, input data, compile-time options, and parameters — are subject to variability that exacerbates frictions but is also essential for achieving robust, generalizable results and fostering innovation. I will first review the literature, providing evidence of how the complex variability interactions across these layers affect qualitative and quantitative software properties, thereby complicating the reproduction and replication of scientific studies in various fields.
I will then present some software engineering and AI techniques that can support the strategic exploration of variability spaces. These include the use of abstractions and models (e.g., feature models), sampling strategies (e.g., uniform, random), cost-effective measurements (e.g., incremental build of software configurations), and dimensionality reduction methods (e.g., transfer learning, feature selection, software debloating).
I will finally argue that deep variability is both the problem and solution of frictionless reproducibility, calling the software science community to develop new methods and tools to manage variability and foster reproducibility in software systems.

The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically youngSérgio Sacani
The Milky Way’s (MW) inner stellar halo contains an [Fe/H]-rich component with highly eccentric orbits, often referred to as the
‘last major merger.’ Hypotheses for the origin of this component include Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus (GSE), where the progenitor
collided with the MW proto-disc 8–11 Gyr ago, and the Virgo Radial Merger (VRM), where the progenitor collided with the
MW disc within the last 3 Gyr. These two scenarios make different predictions about observable structure in local phase space,
because the morphology of debris depends on how long it has had to phase mix. The recently identified phase-space folds in Gaia
DR3 have positive caustic velocities, making them fundamentally different than the phase-mixed chevrons found in simulations
at late times. Roughly 20 per cent of the stars in the prograde local stellar halo are associated with the observed caustics. Based
on a simple phase-mixing model, the observed number of caustics are consistent with a merger that occurred 1–2 Gyr ago.
We also compare the observed phase-space distribution to FIRE-2 Latte simulations of GSE-like mergers, using a quantitative
measurement of phase mixing (2D causticality). The observed local phase-space distribution best matches the simulated data
1–2 Gyr after collision, and certainly not later than 3 Gyr. This is further evidence that the progenitor of the ‘last major merger’
did not collide with the MW proto-disc at early times, as is thought for the GSE, but instead collided with the MW disc within
the last few Gyr, consistent with the body of work surrounding the VRM.

Describing and Interpreting an Immersive Learning Case with the Immersion Cub...Leonel Morgado
Current descriptions of immersive learning cases are often difficult or impossible to compare. This is due to a myriad of different options on what details to include, which aspects are relevant, and on the descriptive approaches employed. Also, these aspects often combine very specific details with more general guidelines or indicate intents and rationales without clarifying their implementation. In this paper we provide a method to describe immersive learning cases that is structured to enable comparisons, yet flexible enough to allow researchers and practitioners to decide which aspects to include. This method leverages a taxonomy that classifies educational aspects at three levels (uses, practices, and strategies) and then utilizes two frameworks, the Immersive Learning Brain and the Immersion Cube, to enable a structured description and interpretation of immersive learning cases. The method is then demonstrated on a published immersive learning case on training for wind turbine maintenance using virtual reality. Applying the method results in a structured artifact, the Immersive Learning Case Sheet, that tags the case with its proximal uses, practices, and strategies, and refines the free text case description to ensure that matching details are included. This contribution is thus a case description method in support of future comparative research of immersive learning cases. We then discuss how the resulting description and interpretation can be leveraged to change immersion learning cases, by enriching them (considering low-effort changes or additions) or innovating (exploring more challenging avenues of transformation). The method holds significant promise to support better-grounded research in immersive learning.
When I was asked to give a companion lecture in support of ‘The Philosophy of Science’ (https://shorturl.at/4pUXz) I decided not to walk through the detail of the many methodologies in order of use. Instead, I chose to employ a long standing, and ongoing, scientific development as an exemplar. And so, I chose the ever evolving story of Thermodynamics as a scientific investigation at its best.
Conducted over a period of >200 years, Thermodynamics R&D, and application, benefitted from the highest levels of professionalism, collaboration, and technical thoroughness. New layers of application, methodology, and practice were made possible by the progressive advance of technology. In turn, this has seen measurement and modelling accuracy continually improved at a micro and macro level.
Perhaps most importantly, Thermodynamics rapidly became a primary tool in the advance of applied science/engineering/technology, spanning micro-tech, to aerospace and cosmology. I can think of no better a story to illustrate the breadth of scientific methodologies and applications at their best.

Immersive Learning That Works: Research Grounding and Paths ForwardLeonel Morgado
We will metaverse into the essence of immersive learning, into its three dimensions and conceptual models. This approach encompasses elements from teaching methodologies to social involvement, through organizational concerns and technologies. Challenging the perception of learning as knowledge transfer, we introduce a 'Uses, Practices & Strategies' model operationalized by the 'Immersive Learning Brain' and ‘Immersion Cube’ frameworks. This approach offers a comprehensive guide through the intricacies of immersive educational experiences and spotlighting research frontiers, along the immersion dimensions of system, narrative, and agency. Our discourse extends to stakeholders beyond the academic sphere, addressing the interests of technologists, instructional designers, and policymakers. We span various contexts, from formal education to organizational transformation to the new horizon of an AI-pervasive society. This keynote aims to unite the iLRN community in a collaborative journey towards a future where immersive learning research and practice coalesce, paving the way for innovative educational research and practice landscapes.
Authoring a personal GPT for your research and practice: How we created the Q...Leonel Morgado
Thematic analysis in qualitative research is a time-consuming and systematic task, typically done using teams. Team members must ground their activities on common understandings of the major concepts underlying the thematic analysis, and define criteria for its development. However, conceptual misunderstandings, equivocations, and lack of adherence to criteria are challenges to the quality and speed of this process. Given the distributed and uncertain nature of this process, we wondered if the tasks in thematic analysis could be supported by readily available artificial intelligence chatbots. Our early efforts point to potential benefits: not just saving time in the coding process but better adherence to criteria and grounding, by increasing triangulation between humans and artificial intelligence. This tutorial will provide a description and demonstration of the process we followed, as two academic researchers, to develop a custom ChatGPT to assist with qualitative coding in the thematic data analysis process of immersive learning accounts in a survey of the academic literature: QUAL-E Immersive Learning Thematic Analysis Helper. In the hands-on time, participants will try out QUAL-E and develop their ideas for their own qualitative coding ChatGPT. Participants that have the paid ChatGPT Plus subscription can create a draft of their assistants. The organizers will provide course materials and slide deck that participants will be able to utilize to continue development of their custom GPT. The paid subscription to ChatGPT Plus is not required to participate in this workshop, just for trying out personal GPTs during it.
