Beschreibung
The rapid evolution of telecommunication resources signals the need for innovation in the construction of knowledge. Today, teaching is a challenging task because study materials must spark the interest of learners amongst the highly technological milieu enveloping their lives. Team-based learning (TBL), a student-centered strategy for group learning, has been shown to provide greater retention of knowledge than traditional education methods. Nonetheless, few studies have addressed the use of audiovisual tools in TBL. The Virtual Human Project is a powerful tool comprised of 3D computer-generated imagery videos designed to facilitate content comprehension. Leprosy (Hansens disease) is endemic in tropical countries, and has irreversible consequences. Effectively addressing this illness in medical schools is a crucial step towards its control, and the use of virtual educational tools can motivate learners to focus on this topic. The present study brings together the excellence of the TBL method and the power of the use of multimedia 3D materials to enhance learning.
