Description
Anniesmitha K's team reviewed technology-enhanced learning in 2026 for teaching neuroanatomy, a subject health students famously find hard because its structures are tangled and three-dimensional. The team kept only randomised controlled trials from 2013 to 2023 and judged them with an adapted Kirkpatrick model, which grades learning from learner reaction up to lasting behaviour change. Nine trials made the cut.
Students liked virtual reality, 3D views, and stereoscopic modules, with better confidence and understanding. Augmented reality drew more mixed reactions that hinged on design quality. Test-score gains showed in several trials, above all for 3D and virtual reality tools, though not in all. The methods seemed to help most with spatial grasp and interest. Few trials looked beyond short-term results, so the authors call the technology a hopeful partner to classic teaching rather than a proven takeover.
