As part of our iMedEd Initiative, we are rolling out the following new systems for the School of Medicine:
See more details on each system below.
Ilios is our curriculum management system. It allows us to map the School of Medicine curriculum to identify what is being taught in our courses and find any gaps and redundanices.
Ilios also allows us to create a report of our curricular data for annual upload into the AAMC Curriculum Inventory and Reports system.
All curricular resources for a course or clerkship should be uploaded to Ilios. These resources should be appropriately identified appropriately by topics, MeSH terms and learning objectives.
To access Ilios:
Canvas, our new learning management system (LMS), is a software tool that enables you to support administration of a course with features such as course web pages, grade books, online quizzing, discussion boards and more.
Canvas is replacing the features we have previously used through EEE and MERLiN. It will become the primary interface for course materials by our students and the location of Medical Education calendars for faculty, staff and students in Fall 2016.
Canvas also will be integrated with Ilios so that all curricular resources can be accessed through the calendar of a Canvas course listing.
To access Canvas:
New Innovations is a medical education management system that provides software tools to manage evaluations, case logs and work hours.

Poll Everywhere is an audience response tool that enables you to interact with your learners by asking them questions that they can answer via text message, Twitter or a web browser.
With this application, there is no need for physical hardware, such as a clicker device. Responses can be seen in real-time, embedded directly into your PowerPoint presentation — without having to jump between your slides and another window! — and also viewed from a web browser.
