Technology

The most recent curriculum redesign at the Univeristy of Kansas School of Medicine also launched the most technology intensive methodology in the history of the school. Incoming students are given TabletPCs that function as the cornerstone of learning management. Microsopes have been replaced with virtual slides using the Aperio virtual microscopy system. All learning materials are delivered electronically in a virtually paperless curriculum. Students are encouraged to use Microsoft OneNote, an electronic note taking and organizational tool. OneNote helps organize vast amounts of learning material and has powerful searching capabilites that include handwritten notes, audio and text within images.

All first, second and many third year lectures are digitally recorded and made immediately available for downloadable review.
