Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Genetics Education
  • Multimedia Learning Systems

Background:

  • Traditional medical genetics education often lacks engaging and interactive tools.
  • The integration of multimedia and non-linear instruction can enhance learning experiences.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate HGEN, a multimedia system for teaching medical genetics.
  • To assess the system's efficiency, software quality, and user satisfaction.

Main Methods:

  • HGEN was developed using Multimedia Toolbook and Delphi, incorporating interactive multiple-choice questions with visual aids.
  • A navigation map was implemented for path analysis to identify areas for improvement.
  • Two questionnaires assessed computer background, system efficiency, software quality, and user satisfaction.

Main Results:

  • HGEN was utilized by 63 medical students across three institutions.
  • The system was rated 100% efficient as a learning tool.
  • Navigation map analysis successfully identified and informed necessary software optimizations.

Conclusions:

  • HGEN is an efficient and satisfactory didactic tool for medical genetics education.
  • The system's design and evaluation methodology provide a model for optimizing educational software.
  • Further development based on usage analysis can enhance the effectiveness of multimedia learning tools.
