From Virtual to Reality: Evaluating Student Attitudes through VR Dissection Preparations--A Use Case
Peer reviewed
Direct linkSarah Shine; Julia Warznie; Guoli Zhou; John Zubek – Advances in Physiology Education, 2025
Animal dissections have long been central to anatomy and physiology education, despite their costs, safety issues, and ethical concerns. Alternatives like computer-based simulations and synthetic models often fail to replicate the authentic experience of live dissections. Virtual reality (VR) offers an immersive, interactive alternative that…

Vanderveen, Jesse R.; Jessop, Philip G. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
Selecting less hazardous chemicals is a core tenet of green chemistry but is difficult to teach in practice. The upper-year undergraduate or graduate level exercise described here empowers students to make such decisions themselves. Students are tasked with finding the greenest chemical for a specific purpose described in a hypothetical scenario,…

Thompson, B. M.; Schielack, J. F.; Vestal, T. A. – Journal of Food Science Education, 2004
Decades of research have provided evidence that food irradiation is a safe technology that can decrease the incidence of foodborne diseases; however, adoption of this technology has been slow. The purpose of our study was to qualitatively explore the effectiveness of various components of a professional development training on family and consumer…
