Thesis (Ph.D.)--The University of Utah, 2005.

Use of computer-assisted instructional (CAI) tools for health science anatomy education is increasing; however, many of these tools are developed in piecemeal fashion. Formal assessment of the technological needs of students, and evaluation of the design and effectiveness of CAI tools are lacking. Therefore, the goals of this study were to: (1) perform a needs assessment to determine the technological equipment and sophistication of health science students; (2) perform an evaluation of a CAI tool for neuroanatomy review; and (3) evaluate a CAI tool created for a personal digital assistant (PDA). For the first goal, we determined the technological equipment and sophistication of medical, dental, physical therapy, and occupational therapy students at The University of Utah. The results indicated that most of students used desktop personal computers (54%), accessed the Internet by high-speed connection (56%), and preferred electronic course material for review, yet preferred paper lecture material (63%). For the second goal, a CAI tool was designed and evaluated by physical and occupational therapy students enrolled in a neuroanatomy course at The University of Utah. The evaluation was accomplished using a questionnaire. The results demonstrated that the images were clear (84%), navigation was easy (88%), beneficial for self-study and review (76%), and better than traditional tools (95%). For the third goal, we designed a CAI tool for the PDA that delivered content for the laboratory section of the Medical Histology course at The University of Utah. An evaluation was performed to determine the usefulness and effectiveness of the CAI tool. Results showed that the CAI tool for the PDA was more convenient to use than a paper, desktop, and/or laptop atlas. Despite that result, use of the PDA histology application did not affect posttest scores.
