PURPOSE Cognitive load theory, focusing on limits of the working memory, is relevant to medical education; however, factors associated with cognitive load during procedural skills training are not well characterized. The authors sought to determine how features of learners, patients/tasks, settings, and supervisors were associated with three types of cognitive load among learners performing a s...

OBJECTIVE To develop a software tool that will combine teaching timetables with the generation of reports on teaching load. METHODS The University of Split School of Medicine project team and the external experts from the company LAMA, LLC. determined necessary functionalities and developed the software platform as an extension of the existing software solutions already in use by the Croatian...

Multimedia plays a vital role in both learning systems and the actual education process. However, currently used presentation software is often not optimized and generates a great deal of clutter on the screen. Furthermore, there is often insufficient space on a single display, leading to the division of content. These limitations generally increase cognitive load. In this research, a multi-dis...

This paper is an attempt to provide a user friendly software package for teaching of standalone SEIG. Three operating conditions of the generator are mathematically modelled and then simulated using MATLAB commands. Active GUI window with these models are created using Graphical User Interface Capability. The requirements of capacitor bank for SEIG for its self excitation are also incorporated ...

Physiology education, which occupies an important place in undergraduate medical education, exhibits diversities across the world. Since there was no specific source of information about physiology education in Turkish medical faculties, the authors aimed to evaluate the general status of undergraduate physiology teaching of medical students in Turkey. A questionnaire designed for the program u...

By using advanced cloud computing, virtualization and distributed video load balance technology, the paper constructs an interactive platform which shares the teaching resources. On the one hand it provides a beyond time and space, free and equal interactive teaching and learning platform for the teachers and students. On the other hand it offers teaching resources Networked storage, utilizatio...

background and purpose: biochemistry is extremely difficult in preclinical medical education because of the monotonous use of lectures, tutorials, practical and end of semester load with end of semester examination. although several studies have been carried out on learning biochemistry in europe and america, asian studies are very few and literature in the sri lankan context is lacking. we aim...
