There are several web sites available on the internet created by educational centres which provide with online courses, lessons and information on genetics.
Genetics educational centres/activities in Europe
The National Genetics Education and Development Centre was established to provide a focal point for genetics education and training throughout the NHS. The Centre aims to facilitate health professionals' knowledge and understanding of genetics, enabling them to keep pace with the rapidly expanding field of medical genetics.
Public Health Genetics Website: www.phgu.org.uk which is funded by The Department of Health and The Wellcome Trust. The PHGU and the University of Cambridge Centre for Medical Genetics and Policy form the core of the Cambridge Genetics Knowledge Park. The project was created to develop a national strategy for the education of health professionals in genetics. It is also featured a review of medical undergraduate education in genetics, a review of postgraduate nurse education in genetics, a review of genetics departments websites, a seminar on some of the changing relationships between public and professionals, and a survey of educational work in genetics undertaken by pharmaceutical industry.
Training and course opportunities and resources in genetics for professionals.
Genetics sources and documents for education in genetics for health professionals.
Lessons on genetics and practical training for secondary schools. Centre of Education, University of Calabria ( Italy)
Web site of genetic databases, biomedical information, lessons, articles, journals, online genetic information resources.
The Genetic Interest Group (GIG) is a national alliance of organizations with a membership of over 130 charities which support children, families and individuals affected by genetic disorders. On the web site you can find genetics sources and documents for education in genetics for health professionals and public.
Telethon is a major Italian non-profit Foundation responsible for raising and distributing funds for biomedical research in Italy, primarily in universities and non-profit research institutes.
Supplying information to the public and raising awareness on the scientific and social issues related to Genetics and Hereditary Diseases is also part of Telethon's mission. The initiatives include courses and meetings for schools and associations and provides information to the lay public in Italy.
This site has been set up to enable people to obtain information about a rare disease, specialized outpatient clinics, clinical laboratories, research projects, patients support groups and other interesting web sites in the world. Data collection is in progress in 20 European countries.
Organized in 3 sections: classical genetics, molecular genetics, and genetic organization and basic control. The science behind each concept is explained by animation, image gallery, video interviews, problem, biographies, and links.
Interactive website including different levels of knowledge in genetics: beginners, intermediate and advanced levels.
The Park aims to enable people to make informed choices to reduce the burden of disease for which they are at genetic risk. The main activities are applied research, training and education for students, teachers, researchers and health professionals.
The site is produced by the Wellcome Trust, an independent research-funding charity. It aims to provide an accessible, balanced and up-to-date account of progress in understanding the human genome and the application of this understanding in different arenas – medical, personal and social.
A program developed to promote basic awareness of genetics in the general public, and offers an interactive tool to learn basic principles of genetics, a teachers manual. The material is available on-line in English, French, German, Russian, Spanish.
This web site offers a pilot curriculum, developed for high school science teachers, can be used to help teach students from multiple levels of life science classes about the function and use of microarrays. It is developed in stand-alone modules, some or all of the curriculum can be applied in life sciences, biology, genetics, and biotechnology classes.
In this web site there is available a Teacher's Activity Guide and Lesson Plans for elementary and high school levels.
INSPIRE ( Innovative Scheme for Post-docs in Research and Education) was a response to fears that science teaching in the United Kingdom is in crisis. In collaboration with the pharmaceutical company GlaxoSmithKline UK schools offer three-year contracts to postdoctoral researchers, combined with teacher-training course. INSPIRE allows the students to get a teaching qualification without dropping their research and gives alternative career option that is easier to fit a family around for female researchers (Peplow M., 2004).
It has developed a broad array of resource materials designed to enhance the public's understanding of genomics and two special courses."The Genomic Revolution" is a three- day institute for teachers grade K-12, featuring classes taught by Museum curators and educators. "Genetics, Genomics, Genethics" is an on-line course offered by the Museum through Connected University.
A new nonprofit organization, which enables citizens to confront advancements in genetic research and technology, to understand the science behind them, and to address important ethical, legal, and social questions.
Online material for educators interested in human genetics and the Human Genome Project of the University of Kansas Medical Center.
Coalition for Genetic Fairness Genetic Non-discrimination 2005
A coalition of advocacy organizations, health professionals and industry leaders working to:1. Educate congressional policymakers and staff about the importance of legal protection of genetic information. 2. Ensure dissemination of meaningful genetic information on non-discrimination legislation.
