Os MOOCS ( Massive Open online Courses) estão a cada dia melhores. Agora o Reino Unido também entrou nessa onda e lançou nesse ano um novo site com vários cursos de universidades inglesas.O site é o Future Learn e encontrei um curso de anatomia do abdomen muito interessante e como é curto, somente três semanas, vou arriscar fazer. Preciso treinar meu listening britânico ! O curso já está na segunda semana, comecei agora pela manhã a fazer as aulas da primeira semana e estou gostando muito. Ele é bem diferente do Coursera, a interface para navegação é mais interativa e as videos aulas bem mais curtas, pelo menos nesse curso. A única coisa que não gostei é que o certificado tem que ser pago, pelo que entendi.E que também os certificados irão ser enviados na forma física. Bom, vou continuar fazendo o curso para ver onde dá essa história. Nisso o Coursera ganha , pois lá o certificado de participação é gratuito, on line. Existe uma versão paga , na qual é possível verificar a autenticidade do certificado.

This course introduces you to the human abdomen and explores its many complex structures. As the course progresses, the structure and function of important organs will be demonstrated, discussed and related to common surgical scenarios and current research. Each of the 3 weeks will focus on a specific area of the abdomen; starting at the surface you will then enter the abdomen and be able to detail the anatomy of numerous organs including the stomach and liver.
At the end of each week subject specialists such as surgeons, pathologists and radiologists will come together to compare and discuss contrasting surgical techniques. This will help you to apply your understanding of basic anatomy to common clinical scenarios and research being undertaken at the University of Leeds.
For example, in the first week of the course you will examine the complex anatomy of the abdominal wall and discover why this area is of particular interest to surgeons during inguinal hernia repair.
In this course your tutor James Pickering will take you on a journey to explore the depths of the human abdomen.
REQUIREMENTS
This course is for anyone that is interested in the human body and specifically the inner workings of the abdomen. We will assume a very basic level of anatomical knowledge.
This course may be of interest to learners at school or college who are thinking of going to university; students at university that want to diversify their learning; current healthcare professionals looking to refresh their skills; and lifelong learners interested in exploring the workings of the human abdomen.

FutureLearn is in beta and the courses we'll be running this year – there are many more on the way – are all pilot courses. This allows us to shape and refine how it all works, using feedback and ideas from our learners. It is important to us to craft a high quality product which is tailored specifically to our learners’ needs, so we want to spend the time listening.
What you’re seeing is the smallest number of features that can deliver our vision for a new form of education. Over the coming months, as we unveil new courses, we’ll be developing new features and evolving our offer.
So we're looking to our first learners to tell us about their experience of the site and suggest improvements.

We'll try to respond to as many ideas as we can and will address the most popular suggestions.
