Choate, Julia; Aguilar-Roca, Nancy; Beckett, Elizabeth; Etherington, Sarah; French, Michelle; Gaganis, Voula; Haigh, Charlotte; Scott, Derek; Sweeney, Terrence; Zubek, John – Advances in Physiology Education, 2021
The COVID-19 pandemic triggered university lockdowns, forcing physiology educators to rapidly pivot laboratories into a remote delivery format. This study documents the experiences of an international group of 10 physiology educators surrounding this transition. They wrote reflective narratives, framed by guiding questions, to answer the research…

Cendan, Juan; Lok, Benjamin – Advances in Physiology Education, 2012
The demonstration of patient-based cases using automated technology [virtual patients (VPs)] has been available to health science educators for a number of decades. Despite the promise of VPs as an easily accessible and moldable platform, their widespread acceptance and integration into medical curricula have been slow. Here, the authors review…

A Computer Simulation for Learning about the Physiological Response to Exercise.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Coleman, I. P.; And Others – Advances in Physiology Education, 1994
Describes an interactive computer program that simulates the physiological response to graded exercise in healthy individuals. The program presents high-resolution graphic data in a form comparable to that of a chart recorder display. Data are derived from an empirical model that allows users to select parameters to investigate. The program was…

Membrane Potential Simulation Program for IBM-PC-Compatible Equipment for Physiology and Biology Students.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Barry, Peter H. – Advances in Physiology Education, 1990
A graphic, interactive software program that is suitable for teaching students about the measurement and ion dependence of cell membrane potentials is described. The hardware requirements, the aim of the program, how to use the program, other related programs, and its advantages over traditional methods are included. (KR)

Cardiovascular Physiology Teaching: Computer Simulations vs. Animal Demonstrations.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Samsel, Richard W.; And Others – Advances in Physiology Education, 1994
At the introductory level, the computer provides an effective alternative to using animals for laboratory teaching. Computer software can simulate the operation of multiple organ systems. Advantages of software include alteration of variables that are not easily changed in vivo, repeated interventions, and cost-effective hands-on student access.…

Comparison of a Computer Simulation Program and a Traditional Laboratory Practical Class for Teaching the Principles of Intestinal Absorption.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Dewhurst, D. G.; And Others – Advances in Physiology Education, 1994
Evaluates the effectiveness of an interactive computer-assisted learning program for undergraduate students that simulates experiments performed using isolated, everted sacs of rat small intestine. The program is designed to offer an alternative student-centered approach to traditional laboratory-based practical classes. Knowledge gain of students…

Teaching Physiology and the World Wide Web: Electrochemistry and Electrophysiology on the Internet.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Dwyer, Terry M.; Fleming, John; Randall, James E.; Coleman, Thomas G. – Advances in Physiology Education, 1997
Presents two examples of laboratory exercises using the World Wide Web for first-year medical students. The first example introduces the physical laws that apply to osmotic, chemical, and electrical gradients and a simulation of the ability of the sodium-potassium pump to establish chemical gradients and maintain cell volume. The second module…

Computers as Teachers: Learning from Animations.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Lilienfield, Lawrence S.; Broering, Naomi C. – Advances in Physiology Education, 1994
Describes the use of an interactive multimedia computer program in the study of cardiovascular physiology. Scores on tests given immediately after completion of a two-hour animation program on the Cardiac Cycle and Introduction to Electrocardiography were significantly higher than pretest scores. Students who used the computer program achieved…
