| 總結: | This is a final report for a project funded by a 1995 National Teaching Development Grant. In this project physiological recordings made from patients during open-heart surgery were used as the basis of a package for teaching cardiovascular physiology. The aim was to illustrate real human physiological situations of clinical relevance so that physiological principles would be appreciated in a relevant context. The package presented background information, and computer-based multimedia records of entire open-heart procedures brought the operating theatre to the classroom. Exercises encouraged observation, analysis, interpretation, and problem solving, drawing on basic and applied physiological principles. What students learnt was very relevant to their course (medicine). Students were forced to think and develop a deeper understanding of the cardiovascular system. Acceptance of computer-based learning was not universal. There was resistance to departure from traditional didactic teaching methodology. There were also problems with cognitive overload,
