“…This would further point out the fact that the level of competency of the trainer who uses the AT, and by extension educational technologies to deliver medical education and training to students would matter as to what is being emphasized and what is achievable with the use of the technology. Once again, one might advocate for training the trainers programs that emphasize EdTech on the African continent and integrate and standardize the use of EdTech [ 18 ].…”

Background: The Anatomage Table is a modern technology that is used to enhance the teaching of human anatomy and related basic medical sciences to medical and allied health students. Its use is gaining popularity. This study considered anatomy teachers' perception and acceptance of the Anatomage Table technology and digital teaching materials in the training of medical and allied health students in African countries.Materials and methods: Validated questionnaires were used. Altogether, 79 respondents fully participated in the study, with all African regions being represented as follows:

“…It is important to appreciate the fact that adherence to relevant educational and pedagogical principles would contribute significantly to optimizing EdTech and innovations' benefits when used to support anatomical and medical education. To this end, the ASIC framework has been promoted to serve such purposes [11][12][13]. It has four tenets, including adaptation, standardization, integration, and compliance.…”

The changes that have characterized advancements in anatomical sciences and medical education have significantly influenced pedagogies and the mode of delivery of teaching and training in the context of medical education. Another reality is the impact of educational technology (EdTech) penetration and integration into medical sciences and education. These events have undoubtedly influenced certain traditional practices and pedagogies including dissection. For example, EdTech and innovations have introduced virtual human images and three-dimensional (3D) human body representations for the purposes of teaching and dissection. Another instance includes the fact that the old dissection guides for gross anatomy, which follow the traditional regional anatomy approach, are often challenging to adapt to the relatively modern medical school curriculum that has embraced the integration philosophy. It is apparent that one practical and realistic way to provide an adapted and effective guide for anatomical dissections under various curricular philosophies and contexts would be to develop de novo protocols or adapt existing ones. Protocol development would be a vital component of the modern anatomist toolkit. This article presents the basic considerations and practical approach, including underpinning principles, to developing virtual dissection protocols using a digital 3D dissection facility, the Anatomage table (Anatomage Inc., California, United States of America), as a case study.

Background: This article presents a qualitative study of African anatomists and anatomy teachers on the Anatomage Table-a modern medical education technology and innovation, as an indicator of African anatomy medical and anatomy educators' acceptance of EdTech. The Anatomage Table is used for digital dissection, prosection, functional anatomy demonstration, virtual simulation of certain functions, and interactive digital teaching aid. Materials and Methods: Anatomy teachers [n=79] from 11 representative African countries,
