Recording, Editing, and Distributing the Movies of Anatomy Lectures / 대한해부학회지

ABSTRACT

In order to review anatomy lectures, medical students use the lecture materials, lecture notebooks, or recorded voices of lectures. These learning materials are not so effective as the movies of anatomy lectures. The purpose of this research is to help medical students review anatomy lectures by giving them the chance to replay the movies of anatomy lectures conveniently on the computer. For the purpose, an anatomy professor presented board lectures (about 14 hours) according to the anatomy units (introduction, back, upper limb, neck, head, thorax, abdomen, pelvis, perineum, and lower limb), which were recorded by camcorders to make movies. The movies were transferred to the computer; subsequently, edited suitably on the Adobe Premiere. The movies were compressed to make MPEG files (size 28.0 GBytes) and WMV files (size 1.4 GBytes). In case of the slide lecture, we made a program, on which lecture movies and slides could be watched concomitantly and conveniently. The movies of anatomy lectures were distributed off-line or on-line to help medical students review the anatomy lectures. This report about techniques of making movies will promote other anatomy professors to make movies of their own anatomy lectures.
