“…Anatomical education, increasingly rely on blended learning approaches, incorporating 3D representations of anatomical specimens and interactive web-based interfaces as valuable learning resources. 88 , 89 , 90 We firmly believe that the provision of user-friendly web-based interfaces featuring 3D reconstructions of real human embryos can serve as a powerful tool to revitalize human embryology education.…”

Digital model platforms and applications are common in anatomy education and continue to grow in number, which suggests that educators and students find use for these tools despite the lack of widely accepted best practices. Consequently, it is a challenge for educators to mindfully integrate digital models into curriculum. This short‐term, longitudinal study investigated the effects of integrating a monoscopic digital model as a teaching tool during lectures on reproductive and endocrine anatomy as an intervention in a community college human anatomy and physiology course. Student use and perceptions of digital models were analyzed for correlation with the nature of the course content and the intervention (n = 92). Academic content significantly affected self‐reported student use (p < 0.001) as well as student perceived usefulness of the model (p = 0.02). These findings support the conjecture that digital anatomy models may be better for achieving certain specific learning goals opposed to all learning goals. Integration of digital models as an instructional method did not consistently influence student behavior but it made a difference in participant ability to recognize this technology outside of the lecture. Overall, participants had a positive perception of digital models, although they were not perceived as more important than all other curricular resources. Inclusion of monoscopic digital models for teaching anatomy should be considered by educators since teaching with digital models can demonstrate strengths and weaknesses for students within the context the of learning objectives, assisting students to make more informed decisions about effective learning tools.

The last two decades have seen a shift in the way anatomy education is delivered.With the introduction of blended learning, cadaveric dissection is no longer the be all and end all and, in many cases, the continuing role of anatomical teaching artefacts has declined after decades of prominence. While some institutions have abandoned their archaic anatomical collections and medical museums completely, others have invested in their technological enhancement. We describe the integration of historical teaching artefacts into contemporary anatomy education through the development of an interactive online e-platform and shed light on the enduring pedagogic value of past anatomical teaching specimen.
