Welcome to a completely new way of delivering medical lectures.
The idea behind London Imperial's intranet based medical lectures is to use experienced broadcast journalists to conduct one-to-one radio interviews with medical lecturers; the programmes are then edited and uploaded to the college intranet.
Students log-in to the lectures in their own time - from literally anywhere where there is access to a computer. The lectures can also be downloaded and transferred to CDs or an MP3 player.
The interviews are conducted in a BBC Radio 4 / Five Live style. They are informative, relaxed and engaging.
Add video clips to the mix and these web-based lectures become a powerful tool in demonstrating complex medical material.
This is a test and demonstration site, on-going changes will make the website even more user-friendly.
Audio
Our audio player can be seen on the right.
The full medical interview would be edited down into a number of bite-sized tracks just like the one to the right. Pull down the menu, listen and learn.
Visual Aids
Slides, PowerPoint presentations, annotations, notes and diagrams can easily be incorporated into the web-lecture, as in the box to the right.
Video
Working with bimedia reporters means we can incorporate on-location video filming, offering live illustrations of hard-to-grasp concepts.
