Nutritional Anemias Module:

This is the point of entry to the Nutritional Anemias Module. From here you may select from the choices by section, differentiated by color on the "Menu" wheel which takes you through logical learning, progressive steps leading up to Summary and ending with Exam. You may go directly to any section in the module by selecting from the choices in the middle of the "Menu" wheel (in purple).

At the top of the Main Menu screen there are choices in orange that will take you directly to "Case," "References," "Glossary," "Index," "Exam" for the module. And finally if and when you need help or have questions buttons in red in the upper right hand corner will assist you.

Below is a screen from the lesson "B12 Biochemistry." Each lesson is filled with color illustrations and augmented by diagrammatic detailed illustration. The illustrations are accompanied by text information and enhanced instructional video and audio sound clips.

Below is a video-still taken from a Nutritional Anemias case study. Video is controlled by the student allowing them to start and stop, replay and pause to take notes.
