Enhancing Biomedical Education in the Digital Age: Challenges, Solutions, and Best Practices
By Ourania Varsou, Paul M. Rea, Michelle Welsh
In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the world experienced unprecedented challenges in many areas of life, including education. Higher education institutions had to quickly adapt to new ways of teaching and learning. This was especially true in biomedical education, which heavily relies on visual and tactile knowledge through practice-based approaches.
Enhancing Biomedical Education in the Digital Age: Challenges, Solutions, and Best Practices is a timely book that explores the challenges faced by educators in delivering visual content in distance education. Authored by Ourania Varsou, Paul M. Rea, and Michelle Welsh, this book provides insights into the tools and digital visualization technologies that have successfully supported remote teaching during the pandemic.
The book begins by acknowledging the significance of biomedical education for science, medical, dental, and allied health professionals. For decades, these disciplines have relied on on-campus lectures, workshops, and laboratories to teach both practical skills and theoretical knowledge. However, the arrival of the pandemic disrupted this traditional approach, forcing educators to reimagine their teaching methods.
The authors address the challenges faced by educators in delivering visual subjects remotely. Through literature reviews, original research, and pedagogical reflections, they share best practices and practical strategies for teaching a range of biomedical subjects, including medicine, dentistry, and veterinary sciences.
One of the key strengths of this book is its focus on evidence-based approaches. The authors draw on the experience and expertise gained during the COVID-19 pandemic to present readers with a compendium of knowledge and strategies for effective online teaching. They provide valuable insights into the successes and lessons learned from the sudden shift to remote learning, ensuring that the best practices developed during this period are not lost as education transitions back to on-campus settings.
The book highlights the importance of leveraging digital visualization technologies for effective remote teaching. In a predominantly online environment, educators must find innovative ways to engage students and deliver visual content. The authors showcase various tools and technologies that have been successfully utilized, emphasizing their potential to enhance teaching and learning experiences.
Throughout the book, readers will find practical examples and case studies demonstrating how educators have successfully adapted their teaching methods. These examples offer inspiration and guidance for designing online or blended teaching for visual practice-based subjects. By sharing these best practices, the book empowers educators to create engaging and impactful learning experiences for their students.
Enhancing Biomedical Education in the Digital Age provides a comprehensive look at the challenges, solutions, and best practices in biomedical education during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is a valuable resource for educators, curriculum designers, and administrators seeking guidance and inspiration for teaching visual subjects in a remote learning environment.
