• Strategies for Addressing Students’ Comprehension and Visualization Needs: Integrating Interactive, 3D Tools into Human Anatomy Courses

Cornerstone subjects in health curricula like human anatomy are difficult to teach and can be frustrating for undergraduates. To overcome their difficulties with comprehension and visualization, students sometimes turn to applications they can download on their phones or laptops. Unfortunately, these applications may not have sound pedagogical underpinnings.

In this webinar, Dr. Darren Hoffman presents his methodology for teaching human anatomy and research on how integrating 3D, interactive software into pre-work can streamline students’ lecture and lab time. He also shares information on the current literature and what he has been hearing from his students as they’ve worked with 3D technologies in their courses.

Attendees will walk away with best practices for integrating 3D technologies in:

• • The lecture hall
  • The laboratory
  • At-home study

To wrap up the session, Amy Braun, Director, Academic Business & Science Products at Gale, a Cengage company, will walk through the features and benefits of Gale Interactive: Human Anatomy. Join ACRL and Choice to learn how to engage students in human anatomy courses with integrated, 3D software…”
