Three-dimensional Educational Computer Model of the Larynx

Abstract

A 3D educational computer model of the larynx has been successfully created and warmly received by medical students.

A virtual reality system to augment teaching of wood structure and protection

“…The text analysis from word cloud also provides evidence for student enthusiasm for the system. Our results supported our hypothesis that the use of a VR system to augment teaching of wood structure and properties would be favourably received by students, in accord with previous studies of the use of VR in biomedical education (Hu et al 2010, O'Rourke et al 2019, Tan et al 2012). This favourable response occurred even though some students became disoriented and experienced mild motion sickness when using the system.…”

Motivation in computer‐assisted instruction

“…The present study concluded that there were no significant differences in laryngeal anatomy test scores between the 3D computer module and written text groups. This finding was consistent with the three previous randomized, controlled trials with the 3D larynx module . Computer‐aided instruction has been found to be as effective when compared to traditional methods, for example, in teaching shoulder anatomy and pelvic anatomy .…”

Long-term Retention of a 3-Dimensional Educational Computer Model of the Larynx

“…Marsh et al 10 concluded that the 3-D modules may be more useful if used toward the later stages of learning rather than as an initial resource. These findings are consistent with observations in a previous study 8 indicating that junior learners seem to have more difficulty in synthesizing information from complex models, such as our highfidelity model, and may receive greater benefit when a solid foundation of information learned from lowerfidelity models is already in place. Different quizzes were used by Marsh et al 10 to assess retention, with an initial 14-question quiz and an 8-question retention quiz using different questions.…”
