Abstract

The teaching of Human Anatomy has undergone many changes in the last twenty years. The introduction of new technology to better enable students understanding of a complex 3-dimensional subject has reached new levels. Although intuitively the results seem that technology in service of androgogy prevail, there are still some educators who cannot accept different modes of delivery that are not classical in nature. Important to bring together the teaching community to discuss and keep the 21st century learner front and centre in the debate.
