Why is this so important?

Normally, medical students in a freshman neuroscience course must piece together various sources of information, such as pictures from a text, or brief experiences with a subject in an examination, in order to create in their minds what is integrated here in this shocked Macromedia Director® animation. The advantage to watching an animation is not only obvious, but the additional advantage of accessing it for free over the World Wide Web is both obvious and very exciting. This kind of instructional technology rapid prototyping for medical education at the undergraduate and graduate level is what we emphasize here at San Diego State University College of Sciences Instructional Technologies.
