Development and assessment of a novel multimedia-based educational software for teaching peripheral blood smear morphology.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

This study has two aims: develop a simulated and interactive teaching software for highly skilled laboratory technicians, researchers, or practicing physicians in the departments of laboratory medicine, pathology, or hematology who are working on Peripheral Blood smear examination and evaluate the application and effectiveness of this educational software.

Methods

For this research, a cohort of 26 laboratory professionals was enlisted. The teaching software enabled the examination of 12 distinct leukocyte morphologies. Participants were tested before the training and subsequently after the training (at 2 weeks and 4 weeks, respectively), once the cumulative study duration reached the predefined benchmark of 180 min bi-weekly. The accuracy rate and time expended we
