New online learning tool offers comprehensive 3D views of the ear and related anatomy for audiology students who prefer interactive, online learning.

London, UK (PRWEB) October 31, 2012

More and more professors are finding that students turn to the internet first for answers and information, making it a challenge to keep them engaged in text-based courses, said Peter Allan, CEO of Primal Pictures. Audiology: Anatomy and Physiology of Hearing helps faculty create a fully engaged, virtual learning experience for students, with detailed clinical content supported by interactive 3D images.

Audiology: Anatomy and Physiology of Hearing offers 3D views of the outer, middle and inner ear, the cochlea, auditory and facial nerves, the central auditory pathway, and illustrates the transmission and transduction of sound in the outer and middle ear. Users can rotate any anatomical view 360 degrees and add or remove layers from the visual models. The product also includes specialized physiology content for the cochlea, auditory nervous system, and encoding sound in the cochlea via the Basilar membrane and hair cells, clinical details on hearing disorders affecting the outer ear, middle ear, inner ear, and the nervous system, and case studies and quizzes to support student comprehension.

Beyond the depth of information available, faculty enjoy the flexibility of this product and are using it in multiple courses, said Catriona Kerr, Associate Director of Sales for Primal Pictures. While some instructors are completely replacing a core textbook with this online tool, others use Audiology: Anatomy and Physiology of Hearing as a supplement in the many courses where students need to refresh their knowledge of the anatomy of the ear.

Primal Pictures range of 3D human anatomy titles are already used by more than 500,000 students and 70,000 educators at over 600 colleges and universities around the world. Its flagship product, Anatomy & Physiology Online, was named the best Digital and Online Resource in the British Medical Associations Medical Book Awards.
