Abstract
Technology brings new opportunities in terms of education and research, and global pandemics such as the recent COVID-19 pandemic require online education-style approaches. Visualisation is of great importance in digitised education. In this study, materials that are of interest to the disciplines of anthropology, dentistry and medicine were selected from the skeletal materials and presented in a virtual exhibition. The mandible samples were digitised by photogrammetric method, and the exhibition was made navigable by using the Unity game engine program. In the exhibition, information on dental and bone physiology and palaeopathology, as well as the mandibles of the skeletons obtained from the excavation area, and information on individuals are presented on informative boards. The exhibition can be visited online with the link provided. In this study, the opinions of 30 students, who visited the exhibition from Faculty of Medicine 3rd-5th classes, were asked to complete an online questionnaire. Results of this questionnaire show that students would like to see more of such digital education methods. Digitising educational presentations enables these exhibitions to transcend physical boundaries and reach a global audience. In addition, the images can be easily examined by anyone who visits and can be evaluated for educational purposes.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
