The ALIVE team are off to another great year with Penny’s winning of the 2007 USQ Excellence in Teaching Award and a collaborate USQ Teaching and Learning Fellowship with Helen Ison (in USQ Biology Department). The teaching award follows Penny’s success in 2007 winning the Qld Smart State – Women in ICT award and the Faculty of Sciences Excellence in Teaching award.

The fellowship activities with Helen will be to develop a virtual dissection application to teach anatomy and physiology to external students who don’t need hands on experience in the laboratory. This virtual application will allow students to study anatomy and physiology at a distance so they can follow study paths that have historically been available to on-campus students only.
