The blended learning environment (live and online) increases the productivity of the hands on lab sessions, reduces time away from work or home and allows the student freedom to review presentations as needed. Introducing modalities prior to lab sessions allows students to record their questions for faculty to address before turning on machines or lowering a horse into the underwater treadmill. Advanced hands-on anatomy review during dissection and lab is optimized as the basics are reinforced thoroughly during on-line preparation sessions, ensuring each student has the review necessary to keep the flow of the class steady.
