This highly participatory presentation will briefly cover ten of the most important new trends and enduring issues specific to the 3D education marketplace. We will then switch over to a engage in an enjoyable gallery walk of available take-home resources, followed by a crisp and personalized question-and-answer segment. The expected outcome: you will move into warp drive with your understanding of Teaching with Depth (3D in education) and reaching the educational market.

Recent
Results

17. 3D
BVS
Year 3
Research focused on
• Differences between 2D and 3D images
• Teaching abstract concepts (DNA
Replication and protein synthesis)
• 2D in control, 3D in experimental groups
• Students built models showing DNA
replication and other molecules

18. BVS3D Year 3
Students using 3D:
• were better able to put molecules in
relationship to one another
• demonstrated a higher level of
understanding of the processes.
• included more details
• performed better on their essays
• evidenced less misconceptions
