Example of a virtual histology lesson created through an interactive software platform that allows the user to view an expert-led demonstration of a histology technique, then choose the level of engagement and interactive feedback through a ‘drop and drag’ simulated activity. The learner can interact with the activity by using the cursor to drag the appropriate star to a region of interest on the microtome and then receive instant feedback regarding their choices. After three incorrect attempts, the module highlights the correct answer with feedback and directed learning, providing the learner with a choice to proceed or review further material. Analytics are available to the academic to monitor each question and answer and adapt the question or activity to suit the learner
