Introducing a revolutionary computer-based learning system for students, researchers and instructors in the biomedical sciences O P A L - Open Programs for Associative Learning Module 1 - NEURAL COMMUNICATION OPAL is an interactive system using computer technology and hypermedia principles to bring a revolutionary approach to learning and teaching. Information on topics in cell-to-cell signalling spanning different disciplines is presented. There are no sequential and rigid patterns. Each user can browse freely and create his/her own knowledge trail. OPAL modules provide intuitive and easily remembered learning. • uses mouse activated icons and windows with sensitive zones to access much more in-depth information, illustrations, or text, establishing a personal path through the subjects according to interest
• allows animations and experimental simulations in which the user can play an active role • includes tests which give a detailed score of your knowledge and automatically prepare a revision programme • in the Teacher version, lessons of any desired sequence can be made which can be projected on a large screen • the Question Maker allows the teacher to make up questions for knowledge evaluation • and many more easy-to-use features.
