Abstract:
New technologies have been introduced as a teaching tool in medical schools for the learning of anatomy, providing a new methodology that facilitates the dissemination of scientific knowledge and facilitates their learning. Recently, smart phones have an ever-increasing presence in our personal and professional life, at universities and institutions and by all, teachers and students. The technological tools that are offered by smartphones and tablets have significantly transformed the teaching methods. Given a wide variety of educational applications available in the virtual stores of these systems, an analysis is useful which can summarize the features of these apps and shows their importance in learning. This work presents an analytical evaluation of the applications that are used in the teaching of anatomy for the students of medicine. The apps have been analyzed on the basis of their technological characteristics and anatomical content. In this work, we have proceeded to analyze five free apps for Android devices and thus guide the anatomy students of the Faculty of Medicine.
