To evaluate the use of multimedia enhancements, using a computerised microscope, in the training of microscope skills.
The HOME microscope provides facilities to highlight features of interest in conjunction with either text display or aural presentation. A pilot study was carried out with 10 individuals, eight of whom were at different stages of pathology training. A tutorial was implemented employing sound or text, and each individual tested each version. Both the subjective impressions of users and objective measurement of their patterns of use were recorded.
Although both versions improved learning, users took longer to work through the aural than the text version; 90% of users preferred the text only version, including all eight individuals involved in pathology training.
Pathologists appear to prefer visual rather than aural input when using teaching systems such as the HOME microscope and sound does not give added value to the training experience.
评估使用计算机显微镜进行多媒体增强在显微镜技能培训中的应用。
HOME显微镜提供了结合文本显示或听觉呈现来突出感兴趣特征的功能。对10个人进行了一项试点研究，其中8人处于病理学培训的不同阶段。实施了一个使用声音或文本的教程，每个人测试每个版本。记录了用户的主观印象及其使用模式的客观测量结果。
虽然两个版本都提高了学习效果，但用户完成听觉版本的时间比文本版本长；90%的用户更喜欢仅文本版本，包括所有参与病理学培训的8个人。
在使用如HOME显微镜这样的教学系统时，病理学家似乎更喜欢视觉而非听觉输入，并且声音并没有给培训体验带来附加价值。
