  • Title: Applications of computer-aided learning in biomedical sciences: considerations in design and evaluation.
    Author: Ryan M, Mulholland CW, Gilmore WS.
    Journal: Br J Biomed Sci; 2000; 57(1):28-34. PubMed ID: 10892030.
    Abstract:
    Multimedia computer-aided learning (CAL) is an area that has become increasingly prevalent in biomedical science. Here we describe the advances that have taken place in the computing industry that have led to this trend. We also outline areas within the subject of biomedical science that can most benefit from using multimedia CAL as a teaching aid. Furthermore, issues concerning the design of CAL (i.e. iterative design, structure, development tools) are discussed. As the evaluation of CAL is an essential part of the iterative design process, we look at new approaches to evaluation that have emerged in response to the superficial focus on usability that many evaluations take.
