Abstract:

Most students use, or are prepared to use, mobile devices to study Anatomy and Physiology. In the past two years we have explored a variety of ways to use mobile technology in Anatomy and Physiology, both in the lecture and in the laboratory. We will report on an exciting current pilot project, which involves using apps in the laboratory to allow the student to manipulate anatomical structures such as bones and muscles, and thereby achieve increased understanding through active learning.
