Reading week 4 summary
Main Idea:
The use of 3D software is replacing more traditional methods of teaching Anatomy. While one of the bests methods of learning remains cadaver dissection, this is not possible in a high school and in many cases is not cost effective in medical school. Students have shown a preference for the interactivity and immediate feedback from computer assisted learning. While students feel that it is a valuable addition to the learning process, they do not want to remove traditional methods such as lectures and books. Current software offers more realistic views and 3D models allow users to experience a more authentic view of the body.
Subtopics:
Does software adequately address the different learning styles that students have?
Are today's students really digital natives? Are they able to navigate software and how much teacher direction is required.
