Background: Research in social cognition suggests that learning effectiveness in teacher-learner pairs may be influenced by how well their attention aligns with each other. However, we currently have limited understanding of how common distractions in real-world environments affect teacher-student interactions, specifically the synchronisation of…

Asynchronous multimedia learning is a common form of delivering training in the workforce industry, and organizations rely on a completion status to measure that training. However, measuring retention and knowledge transfer of new material rarely occurs during asynchronous learning. Grounded in the Visual Language Theory (VLT) and a delivery…

This case study examines a workshop utilizing visual art-based methodologies to support second-year medical students in their transition into clerkship. Through a series of three activities, art educators and medical faculty collaborated to facilitate student reflection on this pivotal academic transition. The workshop created a reflective space…

This study aims to contribute to empirical and interdisciplinary knowledge on how visual learning analytics tools can support students' cognitive engagement in complex in-class scenarios. Taking a holistic approach, instructional design, learning analytics, and students' perceptions were examined together. The teaching of systematic viewing and…

Students entering medical college generally show vast diversity in their school education. It becomes the responsibility of teachers to motivate students and meet the needs of all diversities. One such measure is teaching students in their own preferred learning style. The present study was aimed to incorporate a learning style-based…

Students have specific learning style preferences, and these preferences may be different between male and female students. Understanding a student's learning style preference is an important consideration when designing classroom instruction. Therefore, we administered the visual, auditory, reading/writing, kinesthetic (VARK) learning preferences…

Description of ways in which computers might be used to teach visual concepts discusses hypermedia systems; describes computer-generated tutorials; explains the use of computers to create learning aids such as concept maps, feature spaces, and structural models; and gives examples of visual concept teaching in medical education.

An evaluation of the use of multimedia education channels for continuing physician education. (CH)

Production of an interactive videodisc containing 1981 slides and about 34 minutes of videotape on the topic of orthopedics for physical therapy is described, with attention given to instructional design considerations and the process of producing an interactive program. The videodisc method is seen as optimizing visual learning. (Author/MSE)

The patient's body is an image that medical students and residents use to process information. The classic use of images using the patient is qualitative and personal. The contemporary use of images is quantitative and impersonal. The contemporary use of imaging includes radiographic, nuclear, scintigraphic, and nuclear magnetic resonance…

When it comes to issues related to low-income women seeking early, adequate, or continuous prenatal care, the public health and medical communities continue to tell women to take responsibility for their actions. Rarely are messages aimed at providers. To help physicians see how factors in their offices and clinics can affect service utilization,…
