The university uploads its data, like a CT scan of a cadaver, to a CMS replica that exists inside the university campus. This version is customized to the university’s needs and unique teaching model, and is synchronized with Forsina CMS. University adminstrators can perform the following functions on the CMS:

• Add content
• Apply many automatic functionalities available in the CMS to the new uploaded content. For example, in the case of uploading CT data, Forsina can auto-generate three sets of images for coronal, sagittal and axial sectional views. Each image has seven sub-images, showing different display variations of tissue density.
• Edit content, like modifying images of anatomy, adding written notes, and others.
• Distribute new content to Forsina applications.
• Give access privileges to groups of users to use the applications and edit the content.
• Control when and where the applications will be used.

Every university using Forsina solutions will have its own localized hub to control data flow and usage within its territory. The university has the option to connect its CMS to the CMS of another university if they both agree to do so to facilitate content transfer and sharing between the two institutions.

This version of the CMS is meant to be used on a government level. It is a centralized mega-control unit to control Forsina solutions in all member universities of a certain country. Usually, the ministry of higher education is in charge of this hub and uses it to oversee, regulate, and organize all content and software usage in the universities. Depending on regulations and laws in each country, the university chooses to connect its hub to that of the country. Benefits include facilitating content exchange and data transfer, while the country ensures standards and guidelines are being adhered to among all members.

The country can connect its national hub with that of another country, based on a mutual agreement between them. Therefore, Forsina allows multi-level hub control, on an institution scale, on a national scale, and on an international scale.

Station two is where professors prepare for anatomy lectures and dissection sessions. 

Forsina enables professors to conduct the lecture in many ways. Whether by using PowerPoint presentations supported by visual aids, or dissecting a 3D digital body to explain anatomy in a practical approach, Forsina presents all of its educational applications of anatomy and medical imaging and the CMS to professors to make lecture preparing easier and more efficient. The applications offer:
1- An abundant source of 3D digital medical content 
2- A rich library of CT and MRI images
3- Text and image encyclopedia of anatomy and histology
4- Lecture-preparing tools 
 

The solution helps in lecture preparation with many features that include:

Use Forsina Images

Use any number of medical images available in Forsina's vast multimedia library, including millions of images of anatomy, histology, as well as CT and MRI scans.

Practice 3D Dissection

Practice doing digital dissections on VR and desktop applications and explore the numerous advanced features provided to you.

Record Videos

Record yourself doing 3D dissection of the digital body or exploring the 3D models reconstructed from CT/MRI scans, and use the video recordings later in the lecture.

Create Exams and Quizzes

Using Forsina Examination System, you can create examinations and assign them to students.

This station is where anatomy and medical imaging lectures take place. It is very beneficial to use 3D graphics and technological devices in this phase, because of the usually-large number of inexperienced students trying to understand complex medical subjects for the first time. Anatomy, for instance, is three-dimensional and it’s very important to comprehend the spatial relationships between parts and visualize their shape and color from all angles, that’s why using Forsina applications has never been more important.

The digital room is a computer lab dedicated for students to study digital materials of anatomy, histology, and medical imaging, usually under supervision. Activities that can be performed in the digital lab include:

Study

All materials shown in the lecture are available to students in the digital lab. All Forsina education applications are available to be viewed and studied on desktop computer monitors or through VR technology.

Live Through a Medical Virtual Experience

VR technology allows students to experience a limitless and safe dissection. Whatever they saw the professors do in the lecture hall, they can do themselves in the digital lab.

Explore Anatomy and Medical Imaging in 3D

Students can explore high-quality medical content using our 3D applications, whether it is 3D anatomy or a 3D model reconstructed from CT and MRI scans.

Peer Learning

Students can form groups and study together using Forsina applications. Peer learning accelerates and enhances education.

Ask Questions

VR technology allows the professor and student to join the same session and interact with the same 3D body to ask questions and get answers promptly.

Save Notes

Notes can be added to any image or on the 3D model, and saved locally or on CMS accounts.

Share

Any editing, questions, and notes can be shared with fellow students or with professors.

Station five is where cadavers are being dissected to show real human anatomy. Since any dissection action is irreversible and tissues and structures placements are ruined, Forsina software for virtual dissection is an important method to examine each structure from all angles and explain spatial relations between parts to students, before showing them on real cadavers.

This is where official university examinations are held. Forsina presents the examination system, Forsina ES, for universities to create, regulate and manage all exams and quizzes. 

The system has three access gates, one for the university administrator, one for the professor, and one for the student.

Administrators can:

• Divide the faculty and students into groups.
• Grant professors and students different access privileges on the system.
• Guide professors into the exam-creating process and give final approvals.
• Oversee the whole examination process.

Professors can:

• Create exams from self-prepared questions or choose ones from Forsina question banks.
• Add questions to question banks.
• Assign exams to students, and set exam time and rules.
• Get exam results instantly via email.

Students can:

• Get notifications of upcoming examinations.
• Undertake examinations.
• Get auto-graded and see their results instantly.
• Receive assigned quizzes and submit them.

The library is one of the most valuable information resources in the university. Forsina will provide its educational software for computers and tablets within the library, and if possible, on VR devices as well. Activities that can be done in the library:

Study Anatomy in 3D

The superb software teaches all interested students about anatomy by using effective 3D graphics that make it easy to understand the subject, contrary to 2D images and text.

Study CT and MRI in 2D and 3D

Forsina allows students to view image data in 2D and 3D in the library. Every image has many landmarks labeled and marked visually.

Take Pictures

The vast number of editable images available in the software is great for students to use in their presentations, research papers, and study folders.

Conduct Research on Medical Subjects

Forsina applications are a valuable resource for students running research in subjects of anatomy and medical imaging, and even writing theses about the impact of employing technology in health sciences education.

Station eight is the student’s home, where they study by themselves.

Forsina is the student’s private teacher at home, teaching difficult medical topics, and providing a vast library of 3D medical content, images, text, and videos. Students are able to study from the very same materials used in the lecture and in the digital lab.

Forsina will provide the university with a number of single-user licenses. The licenses are to be distributed to students and used at home. Since students can rarely afford virtual reality sets, only desktop computer application are provided.
