Engaging and connecting with students learning Physiology is a primary focus of all Physiology educators. A Facebook open group was started in 2011 (PhysBook011) to exploit the versatility of this social media to foster interactions, discussions and enjoyment in learning Physiology. The PhysBook group now numbers about 1,400 members, mainly students and several educators. The platform has been used for Physiology updates, Quizzes, Test sample analyses, Learning aids, Creative Physio-songs and is also open for students to pose questions and think through Physiology together. A description of some of these PhysBook learning components will be shown during this IUPS teaching enhancement session.
