Item The Development of an Innocative Approach to Teaching Female Pelvic Anatomy(2006-05-16) Tilden, Constance Gulbrandson; Calver, Lewis E.In an effort to develop an improved teaching resource for female pelvic anatomy, this study tested two versions of a new training aid on a group of forty-one students for comparison. One strategy was paper-based and the other was computer-based. The web-based computerized model had two modules, "Pelvic Support" and "The Vulva and Perineum." The modules contained text, video, animations, quizzes and interactive colorized images. The student could roll the cursor over a term and bring up a highlighted structure in the image. Animations demonstrated hard to explain pelvic movements. Videos showed clinical procedures. The computerized model was compared to a paper-based model with the same text and images, but no videos, animations, color or interactivity. A randomized trial was conducted giving each student one module in paper form and one module in computerized form. The study used a pretest, posttest and follow-up test to measure the change in learning with each training strategy. A questionnaire was given at the end to assess opinions of both models and another to assess their opinions of the elements found in the computerized model. There was no significant difference in the ability to learn with a computerized dynamic format or a paper-based static format. There was a difference in the students' preference for the computerized model.Item Histology of the Female Reproductive System: An Interactive Educational Module(2013-04-11) Gove, Mollie; Calver, Lewis E.; Diehl, Angela Marie; Hoffman, Barbara L."Histology of the Female Reproductive System: An Interactive Learning Module" is an interactive animated video project designed to address the need for a complete educational exploration of female reproductive histology for medical students and residents in Obstetrics and Gynecology. The content was developed by Dr. Barbara Hoffman and Dr. Kelley Carrick, and was designed to accompany the existing histology literature in McGraw-Hill’s Williams Gynecology textbook. The project features 18 video animations that present normal and pathological histology features set in an interactive interface. This interface offers primary and secondary menus, as well as an interactive illustration showing the complete female reproductive system. The module was evaluated by current UT Southwestern medical students and residents for its perceived educational value. After using the module, surveys on the efficacy of the project were completed by eleven students. Analysis showed that the project was considered a useful resource for understanding female reproductive histology.
