AB An interactive multimedia presentation was used as a lecture-support
module to communicate concepts of mycobacterial pulmonary infections to
second-year medical students. The presentation was developed on the
Macintosh using Macromind Director (version 3.1) authoring system. The
computer generated color text and figures and animations were presented
onto a large projection screen--for easy viewing in the classroom--using
Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) projection panel and overhead projector.
These files were also converted from the Macintosh to the IBM-compatible
platform using Windows Player. The format for the presentations consists
of six areas: about tuberculosis (TB), disease, therapy, TB/AIDS,
infection control and review questions which are displayed on the
opening screen. The presentation consists of motion, sound, animation,
Quick Time movies, text and still screens. It creates an interactive
world controlled by the user where topics as pathogenesis and therapy
are visually explained through animations while Quick Time Movies
demonstrates diagnostic procedures such as skin testing. Finally, the
courseware asks questions, the user responds, and the courseware
indicates whether or not the user is correct. With the control of a
mouse and buttons, points could be entered at the lecturer's discretion
which allows for time to discuss points as they appear on the screen.
This captures the student attention and replaces the use of multiple
slides or transparencies. The added advantage to this computer
projection is the ease of editing the content and updating information
without the extra cost of additional slides. This presentation was used
regularly as a learning strategy by students at The University of Health
Sciences.
