Essentials of Human Physiology was developed by professors at the Department of Endocrinology and Physiology at the Medical College of Georgia. He intended it for their first-year students, so it should be ideal. Essentials takes an organ systems approach, however the developers have included a clinical case for each section, making the disc work in a problem-based learning environment as well. This product has several very nice features. The screen, except for tables of contents for sections and chapters, takes the form of two columns.
Text is in the left half of the screen and graphics are in the right.
Speaking of not losing one's place, the current chapter name is in the Windows title bar. A click brings up the aside or a popup definition in a tiny floating box. There won't be any partial-screen scrolls which disorient the reader. On Windows, Essentials fits on a 640 X 480 screen. Its competitor MedWorks requires 1024 X 768.
