In an effort to teach the volume of material needed by physiology students as well as to enhance the student's understanding of physiological mechanisms, a combination of teaching methods is being used at the undergraduate level. Didactic lectures are used to convey the mass of information needed, experimental labs are used to aid the student in visualizing concepts, and situational labs [calle...

The first 11⁄2 or 2 years of training in most U.S. and Canadian medical schools focuses on building an understanding of the pathophysiologic mechanisms of common diseases. An assumption exists that students will retain this knowledge and have the ability to recall and apply it in real clinical settings. However, some evidence from the cognitive science and education literature call such assumpt...

Integratingmobile phones into higher education, andmore specifically in the distance education context, is no longer regarded a strange phenomenon. Mobile devices arewidely used by distance education institutions tomake learning available and accessible to increasingly more students. Although mobile learning providesmoremobility and convenience to these students than online learning, students m...

Anatomy teaching is undergoing significant changes due to time constraints, limited availability of cadavers and technological developments in the areas of three-dimensional modelling and computerassisted learning. This paper gives an overview of methods used to teach anatomy to undergraduate medical students and discusses the educational advantages and disadvantages of using three-dimensional ...

INTRODUCTION Undergraduate evidence-based practice (EBP) is usually taught through standalone courses and workshops away from clinical practice. This study compared the effects of 2 clinically integrated educational strategies on final year medical students. MATERIALS AND METHODS Final year medical students rotating to the general medicine service for a 2-week internship were randomly assigne...

Of late there has been a growing interest and effort toward meeting the requirements of persons with special needs. However, most of the accessibility standards and guidelines that have been proposed have been developed by adopting a domain independent and often ‘technical’ perspective. Such proposals are therefore often not sufficient to achieve accessibility goals in specific application area...

Nowadays, the e-learning industry is focused on producing and managing digital learning contents. There are several examples of learning objects, content packages or metadata proposed by different organizations such as IMS, IEEE or ADL. However, little attention has been paid to the specification and management of instructional processes, teaching strategies and learning activities. These issue...

The contemporary robotics is an excellent tool for teaching science and engineering and an attractive topic for students of all ages. Problems of robotics are fundamentally about the couple sensing – action, the two parallel activities bounded by the robot’s dynamics. It is just the robot’s dynamics that makes the relation “sense – act” difficult to control and calls for the advanced study. The...
