UTS ePress publishes open textbooks in a range of subject areas to support open educational practices. “An open textbook is a textbook released with an open-copyright licence and made available online and in a variety of file types to be freely used by students, teachers, and members of the public” (Open Textbook BC). The titles you’ll find here have been designed for use as curriculum resources or supporting materials for learners.
Designed for interested readers and new students without any prior knowledge of the brain, Baker and Singh’s Interactive Guide to the Human Brain is a fascinating introduction to the somewhat complex, but not usually very complicated, components of the human brain. With an easy-to-use layout (scalable to different device screens) and clear and uncomplicated language, the interactive brain images and diagrams and supporting descriptions (including location, structure and function of key brain areas, and select case studies) make the Guide both accessible and understandable, and the show / hide features allow students to test their learning progress.

The Anatomy Quizbook utilises a form of self-testing which has many benefits: it is proven to aid retention, it is a useful method to apply at regular intervals to ensure robust knowledge, and it is extremely useful to determine what is known before rather than after a test or exam. This volume contains questions and answers pertinent to the head and neck, vertebral column, and upper and lower limbs.

The Anatomy Quizbook is a series of carefully selected questions addressing core learning in clinically relevant anatomy. It provides the opportunity for both pre-med and medical students to improve their knowledge of anatomy, as well as their performance in tests and examinations.
The form of self-testing presented in the Anatomy Quizbook has many benefits: it is proven to aid retention (Lieberman 2012), it is a very useful method to apply at regular intervals to ensure robust knowledge, and it is extremely beneficial in determining what is known before rather than after a test or exam.
Bearing in mind that it is neither necessary nor advisable to learn everything there is to know about anatomy, it is intended that the Anatomy Quizbook be used in conjunction with a comprehensive anatomy textbook such as Clinically Oriented Anatomy (Moore et al, 2014) or Gray’s Anatomy for Students (Drake et al, 2015). And whilst the Anatomy Quizbook is intended primarily for students, tutors may also find this a very useful teaching resource.
Book DetailsThe ability to recognise and understand your own cultural context is a prerequisite to understanding and interacting with people from different cultural backgrounds. An intercultural learning approach encourages us to develop an understanding of culture and cultural difference, through reflecting on our own context and experience.
