Digital pathology/virtual microscopy in education
Traditionally, education and training in pathology has been delivered using textbooks, glass slides and conventional microscopy. This style of teaching raises several problems for both the student and the teacher, including not being able to visualize exactly what others are discussing, neck pain, only being able to learn in the classroom and many more. Digital pathology/virtual microscopy in education can allow:
Group Learning and career discussions
Lecturers to clearly highlight certain regions of interest to students
Incorporation of various multimedia files Including streaming videos, presentations, sound files, PDFs and office documents
Remote Learning through access to course content
