Innovations in teaching and learning

Practical classes through zoom: Anatomy learning is not complete without dissection, so our team came up with innovative way of teaching dissection. Specimen demonstration was done on Zoom using mobile phone focusing from top with the help of mobile stand. Even surface marking and embryology model demonstration was done. Histology slide discussion was done on Zoom focusing the slide on a LCD screen and faculty demonstrating the microscopic structures.
WhatsApp batch group discussion: Needs assessment for utility of batch group, benefits, drawbacks, suggestions obtained. Decision on continuing the group for communication, sharing learning materials was outcome.
