“…Next to the concept of eLectures we used for three of the projects also our virtual microscope. A virtual microscope [7], [8] offers the same functionality than a physical one, however, needs digitized objects for display. It enables the access of hundreds of students in parallel 24/7 and dramatically reduces costs in comparison to buying physical devices.…”

Abstract-In autumn 2011 we developed a concept for a new service to be offered for our teachers in connection with virtual lessons: eLectures. eLectures in general are defined as recorded lectures. We offer two kinds of services: InfoSnippets and InfoCasts. InfoSnippets represent short videos visualizing practical skills to be learned by medical students such as measuring the blood pressure or how to make a surgical suture. InfoCasts are recordings of entire lectures including interactive elements. Basic InfoCasts consist of voice recording in combination with synchronized slides. Video is offered only in form of short sections where e.g. practical skills or experiments are shown. With begin of summer semester 2012 we started with four pilot projects of lessons which were fully virtualized. In this paper we present the concept for our eLectures, the selection process of the production software, the realization of the four pilot projects and the evaluation results of the students.

“…Other of the advantages is that the virtual microscope is always available: students can review the samples at any time, not only when the microscopy laboratory is open (Goldberg & Dintzis, 2007) This is useful especially preceding practical examinations (Harris et al, 2001). Also, the students can use additional features of the new media, such to share the findings of the slide to the community or in social networks (Rehatschek & Hye, 2011). Also professors can take advantage of the accessibility, efficiency, and pedagogic versatility of the computer and the Internet (Dee, 2009).…”

“…The virtual microscope only needs a computer or tablet with a web browser (Rehatschek & Hye, 2011). Also, the single-use microscope laboratory can be converted into a multiuse computer laboratory (Dee, 2009).…”
