Within the framework of its keenness on enriching the educational process through visual experiences, PUA’s Faculty of Pharmacy in Alexandria organized a seminar entitled: “Accelerate Your Science Research and education through JoVE”.

This was done under the auspices of Prof. Dr. Maged Al-Ghazouly, Dean, Prof. Dr. Rasha Shaalan, Vice Dean for Postgraduate Studies, and Dr. Engy Al Soudany. It was delivered by a team of specialists in the field of the Journal of Visual Experiments.

The Journal of Visual Experiments is the first and only journal in the world in which research is published in the form of real videos of complete scientific experiments with detailed steps. This is to facilitate the repetition of these experiments easily and clearly for those involved in scientific research. The magazine is also one of the largest digital libraries as it contains thousands of educational videos that illustrate basic and advanced concepts, techniques, and new experimental research.

It is worth noting that it has been announced during the seminar that the magazine is included in the Egyptian Knowledge Bank (EKB). It became available to all Egyptians enrolled in universities and research centers free of charge for the first time. The method of accessing videos suitable for different scientific disciplines and topics was also explained. In addition to the various services such as curriculum mapping through which the faculty member obtains a list of videos that suitable to the content of the courses he/she teaches to students.
