Description
Enhancing learning objectives by use of simple virtual microscopic slides in cellular physiology and histology: impact and attitudes. Adv Physiol Educ 36: 158-163, 2012; doi:10.1152/advan.00008.2012.-The impact and perception of students on the use of a simple, low technology-driven version of a virtual microscope in teaching and assessments in cellular physiology and histology were studied. Its impact on the time and resources of the faculty were also assessed. Simple virtual slides and conventional microscopes were used to conduct the same examinations for the same students. Students performed significantly better in the examination with the virtual slide and also showed a significantly higher preference for virtual slides. The time and cost implications of conducting examinations using the simple virtual slides were reduced by >1,400%. The results reemphasize the need for the design and adoption of simple sustainable technological innovations in developing countries to bridge gaps in purposeful learning environments. © 2012 The American Physiological Society.
