“…The adoption of these innovative resources for the teaching and learning process in the area of health sciences allows interdisciplinary, through the integration of contents with other areas of knowledge, minimizing fragmentation between subjects and enables active, participatory and self-directed learning. Thus, the student becomes the articulator of his decisions in the process of construction and reconstruction of knowledge, with multiple possibilities to recognize the gaps of his learning (13) .…”

Objective: to describe the development of the learning object called "Disciplinary Complement of Anatomy" for the teaching and learning of Anatomy subject. Methods: this is a methodological study on the construction of the learning object to complement the studies in the subject, using the Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation and Evaluation model in the instructional design. Results: as a virtual class, the learning object was developed according to the steps of Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation and it was implemented in Prezi® as a virtual environment. Conclusion: the virtual class was set up in an innovative strategy that allowed autonomy in learning and managing technologies in the educational process, articulating ethics in the study of Anatomy.

“…• Advise students to create a Prezi account, as this will allow them to download and edit presentations (Adapted from Duffy et al, 2014) Connecting an Apple computer to a projector is not always a straightforward task. Most Apple laptops currently in use have a Mini DisplayPort that connects to the VGA port on a projectorconsequently, a Mini DisplayPort-VGA adaptor will be needed.…”

SummaryThe use of PowerPoint has become nearly ubiquitous in medical education and continuing professional development; however, many alternatives are emerging that can be used in its place. These may confer some advantages, but they also have potential drawbacks. It is helpful that educators are aware of these new presentation options and their pros and cons, including any financial implications and issues of data protection. This article considers the role of technology in teaching and learning, identifying underlying assumptions that are often made. It identifies and appraises technology that can be used with or instead of PowerPoint to best facilitate deep learning. The potential pedagogical benefits and practical limitations of these technologies are considered, and strategies are highlighted to maximise the impact of PowerPoint where it is the software of choice.

“…One such alternative is Prezi, a web-based tool that presents information using spatial organization on a single canvas rather than a deck of consecutive slides. Even though the limited available evidence suggests well-constructed PowerPoint and Prezi presentations result in similar learning outcomes (34), Prezi allows speakers to visually emphasize the hierarchy between "big picture" ideas and their supportive content elements (35), and students have found Prezi to be more engaging than other lecture modalities (36). The nonlinear nature of Prezi allows the speaker to cover lecture content in varying order, as opposed to the relatively fixed path of a PowerPoint presentation (35).…”

“…The nonlinear nature of Prezi allows the speaker to cover lecture content in varying order, as opposed to the relatively fixed path of a PowerPoint presentation (35). Audience-guided instruction is available in other digital platforms (18), but Prezi's adaptability and nonlinear efficiency facilitate audience-directed instruction (36). Videos and images can easily be added to the overall canvas.…”

Practical Strategies for Effective Lectures

Lecturing is an essential teaching skill for scientists and health care professionals in pulmonary, critical care, and sleep medicine. However, few medical or scientific educators have received training in contemporary techniques or technology for large audience presentation. Interactive lecturing outperforms traditional, passive-style lecturing in educational outcomes, and is being increasingly incorporated into large group presentations. Evidence-based techniques range from the very simple, such as inserting pauses for audience discussion, to more technologically advanced approaches such as electronic audience response systems. Alternative software platforms such as Prezi can overcome some of the visual limits that the ubiquitous PowerPoint imposes on complex scientific narratives, and newer technology formats can help foster the interactive learning environment. Regardless of the technology, adherence to good principles of instructional design, multimedia learning, visualization of quantitative data, and informational public speaking can improve any lecture. The storyline must be clear, logical, and simplified compared with how it might be prepared for scientific publication. Succinct outline and summary slides can provide a roadmap for the audience. Changes of pace, and summaries or other cognitive breaks inserted every 15-20 minutes can renew attention. Graphics that emphasize clear, digestible data graphs or images over tables, and simple, focused tables over text slides, are more readily absorbed. Text slides should minimize words, using simple fonts in colors that contrast to a plain background. Adherence to these well-established principles and addition of some new approaches and technologies will yield an engaging lecture worth attending.
