The “Welcome to My Classroom” series functions like a pedagogy and practice show and tell where educators from throughout MSU’s ecosystem share something from their teaching and learning practice. In April, 2024 Jessica Sender, Health Sciences Librarian & Library Liaison to the School of Nursing, and Paul Cooper, Digital Scholarship Lab (DSL) Transformative Technologies Coordinator, shared on MSU’s Anatomage Table.
The Anatomage Table (located in the Digital Scholarship Lab on 2West of the Main Library) is the only fully segmented real human 3D anatomy platform. Users can visualize anatomy exactly as they would on a fresh cadaver. The Anatomage Table is the most technologically advanced 3D anatomy visualization and virtual dissection tool for anatomy and physiology education and is being adopted by many of the world’s leading medical schools and institutions. Individual structures are reconstructed in accurate 3D, resulting in an unprecedented level of real accurate anatomy, dissectible in 3D.
Jessica and Paul shared a live demonstration of the Anatomage Table’s functionality and described MSU examples of ways educators have incorporated this resources pedagogically to improve learning experiences. Check out these resources and the recording from Center for Teaching and Learning Innovation’s (CTLI) Welcome to My Classroom with Jessica Sender session on 04/10/24 below.
