Human Structure Course Director; Graduate Embryology Course Director

Research Statement

Dr. Nieder is interested in the use of information technology and other methodology in teaching anatomy. Current projects include in-depth analysis of the factors influencing medical students’ use of online materials and the use of Team-based Learning in anatomy instruction. Dr. Nieder is also working with Dr. Kraszpulska to create an online dissection manual for gross anatomy. Past projects include the development of an online library of virtual anatomical specimens in the QuickTime VR and HTML 5 formats and a project creating a database of neurological teaching videos. Both of these projects have been funded by the National Library of Medicine and have resulted in web-based resources available for use by the medical education community.
