This has led to substantial savings in teaching costs. This enables students to test their skill in identifying histological structures, or their knowledge of the theory of histology, by answering an extensive quiz following each topic. It is web-based so easy to maintain. It is a versatile programme and so can be immediately adapted to any changes in teaching emphasis. Additional topics, images, quiz question etc.
Students can navigate their way through the programme very easily.
An independent survey has indicated that when students have used this programme it has made a very positive impact on student learning. It has reduced teaching costs enormously both in salaries and in resources required - particularly microscopes and slides collections.
