Nan Zhang; Hongkai Wang; Tianqi Huang; Xinran Zhang; Hongen Liao – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2024
Trunk anatomy education is critical in the training of the surgeon. Most trunk anatomy education systems use a personal or synthetic anatomical model. It remains difficult to obtain appropriate population anatomy information and create individualized anatomy customization based on a quantity of diverse data. Furthermore, the naked-eye virtual…

Ferdiánová, Vera – Electronic Journal of e-Learning, 2017
"The use of e-learning and modern technologies is an integral part of teaching descriptive geometry" (Rankowski and Minaruth, 1979). Teachers often create Flash animations, websites and other interactive materials for their students using special tools and software; e.g. Cabri, GeoGebra or Construct 3D (García et al, 2007). There is an…

Berney, Sandra; Bétrancourt, Mireille; Molinari, Gaëlle; Hoyek, Nady – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2015
The emergence of dynamic visualizations of three-dimensional (3D) models in anatomy curricula may be an adequate solution for spatial difficulties encountered with traditional static learning, as they provide direct visualization of change throughout the viewpoints. However, little research has explored the interplay between learning material…

Sedig, Kamran; Liang, Hai-Ning – Journal of Interactive Learning Research, 2008
Visual cognitive tools (VCTs) are external mental aids that maintain and display visual representations (VRs) of information (i.e., structures, objects, concepts, ideas, and problems). VCTs allow learners to operate upon the VRs to perform epistemic (i.e., reasoning and knowledge-based) activities. In VCTs, the mechanism by which learners operate…

Harle, Marissa; Towns, Marcy – Journal of Chemical Education, 2011
Chemists and scientists use spatial abilities as part of the way they understand and communicate their subject areas. A review of the foundational research literature in spatial ability and its connections to chemistry as a field and chemical education research allows for the formulation of implications for teaching in chemistry. (Contains 7…

Edsall, Robert; Wentz, Elizabeth – Journal of Geography in Higher Education, 2007
Two experiments investigating the benefit of computer-based applications in geography education are presented. The computer-based methods employ concepts of visualization, including animation and interactivity, to facilitate active learning. These computer-based methods are compared with physical (i.e. tangible) models, which themselves can be…

White, Howard D.; McCain, Katherine W. – Annual Review of Information Science and Technology (ARIST), 1997
Argues that information science is the interface between people and literatures. Presents recent models of literatures that offer visual cues to relationships among writings that often are based on term occurrences/co-occurrences. Deals with online and offline visualizations and gives a critique of visualization research. Contains 240 references.…
