Block 2.1 Motion and Senses for medical colleges

Neuroscience at the bedside, one patient at a time.

Medical students meet the nervous system, hearing, balance and vision in realistic patient charts: they find the cues, localise the lesion and decide what to do, and every answer is graded the moment they submit.

  • 16 case-based activities in eight units, with answer keys
  • 130 items, open responses scored against a rubric
  • 12 individual and 4 group practicals

Activity
Items beside the patient chart
Built around clinical reasoning

From the history to the decision

Each case connects the basic science of the block to a patient: students read the chart the way a clinician does and reason step by step.

  1. Read the history and the handoff
  2. Find the cues in the examination
  3. Localise the lesion
  4. Weigh the differential
  5. Choose tests and treatment
  6. Explain it to the patient

How it works

From assignment to grade in four steps

  1. Faculty assign

    Pick cases, choose a class or team, set a due date

  2. Students review the chart

    Each case opens its patient chart and handoff report

  3. Answer and submit

    Answer the items in the chart and submit for grading

  4. Graded at once

    Grade, feedback and rationales; faculty review and adjust

Security & privacy

Safe by design

Fictional patients only; students never see keys, rationales or rubrics before their work is graded.

How we protect your program →
  • No real patient data
  • Role-based access
  • Colleges kept separate
  • Keys, rationales and rubrics stay private until graded
  • Same secure account as ChartLab
  • Nothing to install
