Description
Problem-based instruction is an active learning instructional practice that requires students to think rationally and critically in order to generate reasonable solutions to problem-based scenarios. For complex medical conditions such as stroke, degenerative diseases, and traumatic brain injury students must have a strong command of neuroanatomy and physiology. While virtual and synthetic dissection tools alleviate the need for procuring and maintaining costly resources, like cadavers, these tools are costly, inaccessible to students online, and inadequate in the teaching of practical knowledge needed to solve real-life clinical problems. The proposed X3D system will provide anatomy students a free, virtual, and problem-based learning tool to assist their learning of neuroanatomical and neurophysiological concepts and structures. The application can be used for remote learning as well as for in-person learning.
