    Medical Terminology Online to accompany Mastering Healthcare Terminology supplements the new 2nd edition of the textbook. The online course is organized by body system and offers a wide range of auditory and visual elements and various interactive exercises. These elements amplify text content, synthesize concepts presented in the text, reinforce learning, and demonstrate the practical application of medical language with the use of media-rich content, including animations and slide shows with audio narrations. The content and functionality of this online course helps the user develop the specialized vocabulary needed in the clinical setting and the word analysis skills needed to define unfamiliar terms when they are encountered.

• Course management software provides a platform for deploying a course online with features such as real-time chat, calendar, e-mail connections, bulletin board, grade book, and instructor syllabus.
  
• A wealth of interactive exercises include word building, identification, spelling, image association, pronunciation, matching, true or false, fill-in, case studies, etc. and offer frequent opportunities to recall and recognize medical terms with the goal of rehearsing them into long-term memory.
  
• Most modules include a web site activity that takes the user to a specific topic online and then asks questions pertaining to the site and the course topic.
  
• Some modules include a medical record activity that requires users to look for information in the medical record that will test their knowledge of medical terminology.
  
• Over 450 anatomical illustrations, over 650 disease and disorder illustrations, and many new drawings and graphics visually reinforce learning.
  
• Animations and slide shows include audio narration to demonstrate physiologic processes and to communicate difficult concepts that are impossible to convey with static illustrations.
  
• Pedagogical icons alert users to the unique elements within the program, such as Factoids, Learning Links, and Discussion Topics, to promote interactive learning and link users to instructor and one another.
  
• Hypertext links direct users to related web site resources for further study.
  
• Bolded and linked terms within text connect users to definitions and audio pronunciations of terms and make access to the glossary quick and easy while also enabling users to hear the term pronounced correctly.
  
• Extensive English/Spanish glossary of over 5,000 terms and definitions listed in alpha order.
  
• Users can click on any term in the glossary and hear it pronounced in English and Spanish.
  
• Users can evaluate their mastery of module content by completing the Self-Mastery Quiz at the end of each module before taking the Self-Mastery Exam. The Self-Mastery Exam is automatically graded and recorded in the instructor's grade book.

• New medical records activity requires users to locate answers to questions related to medical terminology in mock medical reports.
  
• Expanded threaded case studies present a patient with a particular medical condition that pertains to the body system being discussed. The patient is revisited throughout each section of the module, keeping the user engaged and providing a real-world application. The threads are expanded throughout each module and include more terms within the case, encouraging the user to apply what they are learning.
  
• English/Spanish glossary includes pronunciations and definitions for over 5,000 terms.
  
• Improved interactive exercises are placed as "mini-activities" throughout the lessons giving the user the opportunity to test their knowledge in smaller "chunks".
  
• More end-of-module case studies are included, each with a patient photo to engage the learner. Questions follow that utilize the terms describing the condition in the case study.
