GENOMEDU INSTRUCTIONS

Genomedu offers three levels of access:

1. Student access: access to free classrooms or those of their teachers.

2. Professor access: ability to create classrooms and assign students to
them.
3. Manager access: ability to assign teachers to a school.

1. When entering GenomEdu as a

student
You can see the applications but you cannot use our tools to create
new educational content.

Upon entering, you will find a classroom like the one shown below (note: the
actual central content may differ):

-
The application has three sections:

• Superior (dark green) with the options: (accessible options to students

indicated in bold)
○ Select a classroom: if there is more than one classroom.
○ Management.
○ Profile.
○ Facebook: access to our account.
○ Blog: participatory blog of GenomEdu.
○ Instructions: A link to these instructions.
○ About Genomedu: Genomedu version and development team.
○ Legal advice: contract established between the user and
Genomedu.
○ Close the session: exit Genomedu.
• Left lateral (light green) shows the services"offered by this classroom:
 ○ GenZoomGen360: an application that offers different zooms and
circular views of organs and tissues in the human body.
○ Gen3D: an application that shows the skeleton and other organs
in 3D.
○ Welcome: see the welcome text (shown in the picture above).
○ Plants: an application that offers different zooms and circular
views of different plants.
• Central (white) shows the service you have selected.
1.1 GenZoomGen360 º: First the following image will
appear:

Each point on the body has a menu with zooms and rotations related to
their location. The menu can be opened by using the mouse to pass over the
menu options. The first image of the zoom or rotation is displayed in the
central white square. If you choose a circular view, such as of the lung, a
window like the following appears:

The following items are then displayed:

 • Species to which the image belongs in the lower left corner(in this
case, two human figures).
• A rotation bar at the bottom right side.
• The initial picture of the organ.

If you click with the left mouse button on either end of the rotation bar the
organ will rotate in one direction or another. If you click on the image in a
selected point then an optical zoom appears and another click returns you
to the initial image. Some images may have labels marked with the symbol Δ
that show the name of the selected point and an their functional role by
clicking on them.
If you select a zoom, such as the liver which is one of the most complete, a
window like the following is displayed:

The zoom displays, at the bottom left of the image, the enlargement of the
photos and, at the bottom right, a zoom bar with the different photographic
techniques : a magnifying glass, an optical microscopy and an electronic
microscopy. As in rotations, clicking the ends moves the zoom forward and
backward.

1.2 Gen3D: Upon entering the following image will be displayed

This image shows the individual points where we have a MRI scan available.
By moving the mouse over the points you can see an image of the selected
part. Clicking on the name will download an applet that allows you to work in
3D mode. You will then see following screen:

Then the model will load, eg the abdomen, and it will appear as follows:

Note: "Delete" button: this button is temporarily disabled .

Note: Graphics Card: This application requires a computer with an

above average graphics card (which today can be found on computers of
about 500 €). If you do not have access to one, you unfortunately will be
unable to load the model or run the application.

After the application is correctly loaded, you can rotate the model by
holding down the left mouse button over the image, make a zoom by
holding down the right button or move it with the middle button.
If we look at the options offered by the application shown in the following
image:
You have the following options (options available to students in bold)

• Manage 2d images: allows captions to be added to images.

• About: about this web site.
• Language: to change the language.
• Open: opens new models.
• Subset: opens submodels.
• Capture a 2D image: allows the user to capture a 2D image.
However, when the user quits the application all captured
images will be deleted.
• BG: modify the background color.
• Options: allows you to change the definition of the moving
image.
• All, bones, skin, skin + bones: the user can choose the
parts to view.
• "palette": lets you choose the best model visualization
palette.
• Mode section: When you select this option a cube appears
surrounding the model. With the left mouse button the user can
rotate the model but with the right mouse button you can
select
one side of the cube and enter through the model by removing
the outer layers.
• Mouse: remove the layers one by one.
• Reset & Center camera: returns to the initial image of the model.

In the example of the abdomen, choose the palette "thorax" and sight
"bones" for a good view.

1.1 Welcome: you will see a page with text similar to:
 1.2 Plants: the following screen appears:

All plants have a red dot that opens a menu. For poinsettias and
rosemary zoom and rotation views are avaiable. For Anthurium we have
prepared rotation views in 3D for use with 3D glasses.

2. When entering GenomEdu as a

teacher
In this case, besides seeing the applications, you can create new
educational content.

Note: Access as a teacher: we recommend to first enter as a student

in order to explore and familiarize yourself with Genomedu and verify the
options on your computer.
