For over two centuries, the educational landscape both nationally and globally has changed tremendously. The more traditional teaching and learning resources and platforms, such as traditional textbooks, chalkboards and whiteboards, overhead transparency and carousel projectors, and traditional classroom settings, have been either replaced or supplemented in the anatomical sciences by integrated and virtual eBooks, online learning management (OLM) platforms, and virtual learning and meeting apps. Virtual teaching and learning, especially proliferated with the advent and aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, and institutions worldwide that had already been utilizing virtual class and lab sessions in their anatomy curricula expanded virtual course offerings. Many institutions have retained virtual course offerings even after the pandemic, given the distance learning benefits. The future of anatomy education holds many promising possibilities given the voracious speed with which technology is advancing. One such promising advancement is the full, seamless incorporation of virtual three-dimensional (3D) immersive and semi-immersive learning into anatomy laboratories and classroom settings globally as well as into students' laptops and handheld devices for easy use at home or anywhere.
两百多年来，国内外的教育格局发生了巨大的变化。在解剖学领域，传统的教学资源和平台，如传统的教科书、粉笔和黑板、投影透明胶片和转轮机以及传统的课堂设置，已经被集成和虚拟电子书、在线学习管理（OLM）平台以及虚拟学习和会议应用程序所取代或补充。虚拟教学，尤其是在 COVID-19 大流行的出现和之后得到了广泛应用，世界各地的机构已经在他们的解剖学课程中使用虚拟课程和实验室课程，扩大了虚拟课程的提供。许多机构在大流行之后仍然保留了虚拟课程，因为这具有远程教育的优势。考虑到技术的飞速发展，解剖学教育的未来具有许多有前途的可能性。一个有前途的进展是，将虚拟三维（3D）沉浸式和半沉浸式学习全面、无缝地融入全球的解剖学实验室和课堂设置中，以及融入学生的笔记本电脑和手持设备中，以便于在家中或任何地方使用。
