In this second episode of the Digital Gardening podcast, Adam and Paul interview Christine Eckel, IU Northwest faculty member, about developing custom course materials for her students in courses like human structure, gross anatomy, and neuroanatomy. Christine first became intrigued by digital media when she discovered that students wanted custom course materials to accompany their lectures and readings. But with the overabundance of materials available online—some excellent, some not so excellent—she found that students were often getting bogged down by the sheer quantity of online content, finding materials that weren’t useful, or worse, getting inaccurate information from online sources. Listen to Christine’s story about how she uses the digital competencies she has developed as a Digital Gardener to create bespoke course content like three-dimensional models, VR/AR, and visualizations for her students.
