OPAL : Open Programs for Associative Learning - Module 6 : Brain Aging - Windows, Teacher Version

OPAL is an interactive system using computer technology and hypermedia principles to bring a revolutionary approach to learning and teaching.

Information on topics in cell-to-cell signalling spanning different disciplines is presented.

There are no sequential and rigid patterns. Each user can browse freely and create his\her own knowledge trail.

OPAL: uses mouse activated icons and windows with sensitive zones to access much more in-depth information, illustrations, or text, establishing a personal path through the subjects according to interest; allows animations and experimental simulations in which the user can play an active role; includes tests which give a detailed score of the user's knowledge and automatically prepares a revision programme.

In the teacher text lessons of any desired sequence can be made and can be projected on a large screen.

The "Question Maker" allows the teacher to prepare questions for knowledge evaluation.
