In the academic year 2012/2013, I designed a course titled Human Anatomy and Physiology for Health Sciences with the help of the e-Learning Centre. The course was a second year level for medical laboratory students. Using Moodle software I was able to add several activities to help the student understand different aspects of this course. For instance, better understanding of human anatomy is based on studying and analyzing figures of the body organs, and a better understanding of human physiology can be achieved by playing different videos showing how specific organs work. Furthermore, I was able to improve student self-assessment through variable online quizzes and homework. I also made an online second-hour exam using the Moodle. The exam went smoothly, and the students were satisfied as the pictures I used in the exam, compared to uncolored paper exams, were very clear. I was highly satisfied with the Moodle experience, and the great efforts made by the e-Learning Centre workers. I strongly encourage Moodle use in the learning process, and I will always be a part in any future development of this amazing program.
