Research Interests

Rapid advances in computer-related technologies have significantly altered the ways in which students learn and the methods by which professors teach and evaluate students. A high percentage of students now own notebook computers and personal digital assistants (PDAs) such as Palm Pilots and Pocket PCs. They expect to have access to lecture presentations on the Internet and be able to download them to their computers or, eventually, their PDAs. Our faculty and graduate students must be prepared to meet the new demands and opportunities that such changes engender.

This explosion in technology opens fertile avenues for exploring knowledge acquisition and student evaluation. Using a number of software applications and digital equipment, the investigator produces and utilizes original images, illustrations and QuickTime movies in producing multimedia presentations for the lecture hall, internet and ultimately DVDs. Current focus relates to the creation and applicability of interactive, animated Macromedia Flash programs in medical education.
