Anatomy instruction is evolving. For some courses, this means fewer lectures, more pre‐class assignments, more in‐class small group activities, and more online and computer‐delivered learning activities. What is the rationale behind these changes in anatomy instruction? Which changes in instruction result in increased mastery of the course material? How does an instructor select the best learning tools and teaching methods for their students? By participating in this session, you will be able to: * Describe the key features of active learning, supporting theories, and evidence. * Discuss various types of active learning, including the flipped classroom format and independent study methods for anatomy courses. * List several types of instructional strategies and learning tools for courses in anatomy and other basic science courses. * Select instructional methods and learning tools that will enhance motivation and mastery of anatomy for students in your classroom.
