Abstract
Modern anatomy education has benefitted from the development of a wide range of digital 3D resources in the past decades, but the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has sparked an additional demand for high-quality online learning resources. Photogrammetry provides a low-cost technique for departments to create their own photo-realistic 3D models of cadaveric specimens. However, to ensure accessibility, the design of the resulting learning resources should be carefully considered. We aimed to address this by creating a video based on a photogrammetry model of a cadaveric human lung. Students evaluated three different versions of this video in a Likert-type online survey. Most responding students found this type of video useful for their learning and helpful for the identification of anatomical structures in real cadaveric specimens. Respondents also showed a preference for specific design features such as a short video length, white text on black background and the presence of captions. The positive student feedback is promising for the future development of photogrammetry-based videos for anatomy education and this study has provided pilot data to improve the accessibility of such videos.
