Course Goal / Objective
This course aims to reinforce students' knowledge of histology through digital microscopy, virtual section examination, and online simulation tools. It focuses on enhancing students' image recognition and interpretation skills, while promoting active participation through interactive digital learning platforms.
Course Content
This course focuses on developing knowledge and analytical skills in histology through the use of digital microscopy systems and virtual histological slides. Students have the opportunity to examine various tissue and organ samples using high-resolution digital images via online platforms. Image recognition, annotation, and interpretation skills are reinforced through interactive activities. Digital tools provide a flexible and engaging learning environment, enabling participation independent of time and location.
