A 3D multimedia approach to biomedical engineering: Low back analysis

A series of case-based learning modules that encourgae reuable interactive multimedia development, team-oriented learning and problem solving with real-world challenges are demonstrated. The principles of educational methods and solution are also introduced. The advanced learning environment case-based/problem-based learning (PBL) is performed using web-enabled, 3D virtual reality (3DVR) interactive multimedia with optional on-line tutor support in an asynchronous fashion. In engineering, management, biomedical engineering and information technology, the application of the learning methodologies bring students into situations that combine laboratory experience with real-world business environments, creating integrated and complex systems.
