Accessing the OHSU-AMIA 10x10 Demo

This page provides instructions on how to access a demonstration version of the course. This version has only four of the 11 units, and does not have real students interacting inside it. But otherwise it is a faithful replica of the real course. To access the demo course, please follow these steps:

Navigate to http://ohsu.blackboard.com/.
Click the User Login button.
Log on with the following Username and Password:

Username: 10x10_demo
Password: demo

In the My Courses box, click on the link to the name of the course:

AMIA 10x10: Introduction to Biomedical Informatics

This takes you to the actual course. At all times, you can navigate through the course using the navigation buttons on the left side of the browser window. The following options are available, and clicking on them provides the following functions:

Announcements
Course Information - overview of information on course, including syllabus, detailed description of teaching modalities, and information on configuring your computer for the course.
Course Materials - links to four units (out of the 11 in the course), each of which feature voice-over-Powerpoint lectures, handouts of the Powerpoint slides, a list of reading assignments, homework (quiz) questions, and discussion questions
Discussion Board - access to the threaded interactive discussions used in the course (most classes have many postings!)

To listen to the online lectures, you must have the Flash plug-in installed (which most browsers already have). The slides and lecture open in a separate window that is blocked from displaying from some pop-up blockers. In most cases, you just need to hold down the Ctrl key as the window opens.
