5024V - Innovative Technologies in Professional Practice: Introduction to Creation and Customization of 3D Content

Three-dimensional (3D) technologies reflect the importance of reframing and rethinking ways of learning in the classroom and discovering new ways to educate patients and care providers. This presentation introduces participants to the “nuts and bolts” of accessing, creating, and customizing 3D content. Participants learn about existing resources and low-cost options for integrating 3D content with different technologies. Emphasis is on strategies that limit the amount of professional training and technical skills needed for effective execution. Participants view examples of 3D models, including how they were developed and modified for individualized learning. Pros and cons are discussed as participants gain insight on how to create and incorporate innovative technologies into professional practice.
