Facilitating active learning of sectional anatomy with technology-enhanced small-group tasks: Assessment of knowledge gains, technology usability, and students' perceptions.

Learning 2D sectional anatomy facilitates the comprehension of 3D anatomical structures, anatomical relationships, and radiological anatomy. However, the efficacy of technology-enhanced collaborative instructional activities in sectional anatomy remains unclear, especially if theoretical frameworks, namely the Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning (CTML), are applied in instructional design. Thus, this study compared the educational impact of distinct 45-min-long technology-enhanced collaborative learning tasks in sectional anatomy.

The impact of Body Worlds on adult visitors' knowledge on human anatomy: A preliminary study.

Body Worlds is an anatomical exhibition that shows human remains to the public. It has been considered controversial since it raises ethical tensions and issues. However, organizers and supporters of Body Worlds have claimed the exhibition is intended to promote visitors' understanding over the human body.
