To broaden the use of simulation for teaching, in particular of new procedures and of low-volume procedures, we propose an environment and workflow that allows surgeon-educators create teaching modules. Our challenge is to make the simulation tools accessible, modifiable and sharable by users with moderate computer and VR experience. Our contribution is a workflow that promotes consistency betw...

background: examining educational environment (academic and clinical) by means ofa valid, reliable and comprehensive questionnaire is a major key inachievinga highly qualified student – oriented curricula. the persian translation of ambulatory care learning education environment measure-acleem questionnaire has been developed to support this goal, and its psychometrics has beenexplored in this ...

Because of its varying requirements, special needs education provides computer-aided instruction with a particular challenge. Up till now, these challenges have been met with computerized one-purpose teaching tools, instead of versatile learning environments. Since special needs education covers a multidimensional spectrum of learning dif-culties, a computer-based learning environment can benee...

Background: Educational environments are an integral part of the development of educational programs. Therefore, to improve the quality of clinical education environment, its status should always be evaluated. The purpose of this study was to assess the quality of teaching environment and learning the aids of cardiology residents of Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences. Materials and...

bedside teaching is a vital component of medical education. it is applicable to any situation where teaching is imparted in the presence of patients. in teaching in the patients’ presence, learners have the opportunities to use all of their senses and learn the humanistic aspect of medicine such as role modeling, which is vital but difficult to communicate in words. unfortunately, bedside teach...

A teaching environment featuring a visual object-oriented programming language is an improvement over existing object-oriented teaching methods using textual languages. We propose to create such an environment, which will provide a complete course in objectorientation. The course will be based on the key object-oriented concepts and mechanisms. The visual programming environment will avoid the ...

We present a new face detection algorithm based on a first-order reduced Coulomb energy (RCE) classifier. The algorithm locates frontal views of human faces at any degree of rotation and scale in complex scenes. The face candidates and their orientations are first determined by computing the Hausdorff distance between simple face abstraction models and binary test windows in an image pyramid. T...
