How to teach analysis skills in DCL?

• We spent the time learning PBL (with or without
  PBL)!

3
e-learning

• Web CT provides additional teaching allows
  students to review previous lectures, can provide
  some practice classes e.g. part of maths
• Medical imaging is good subject for e-learning
• Can provide e-mobility

4
e-learning advantages

• For students

• For teachers

5
e-learning disadvantages

• For students

• For teachers

6
How to teach (multidisciplinary) BME skills?

• Very difficult problem - students have problems
  understanding why combine exact engineering
  analysis with inexact biological measurements
• Need to split problems into exact and inexact
  components. Students need to get used to working
  with inexact values early on
• Laboratory exercises show the problems of
  inexactitude of engineering measures
• Some e-methods do work?
• In biosensors combine

7
How to teach (multidisciplinary) BME skills?

• In engineering measurements can have low
  variability values, but in biological problems
  have high variability and highly complex and
  interactive systems
• Need to be able to combine theory and practice,
  but need to have theoretical basis

Multidisciplinary lectures?

Need to harmonise teaching methods
