Thieme Publishers, part of STM publisher Thieme Publishing Group, Germany, has announced the launch of the Thieme Teaching Assistant: Anatomy (www.thiemeteachingassistant.com), an interactive online presentation tool featuring over 2,000 illustrations from the new 'Atlas of Anatomy' by Anne M. Gilroy, Brian R. MacPherson, and Lawrence M. Ross. The new site supports anatomy instructors by giving them the ability to customise illustrations for multiple classroom purposes.
The presentation tool allows for the smooth incorporation of images into lectures and presentations. Instructors, who desire to focus on a specific topic within a particular image, have the option of turning the individual leader lines and labels on or off, to modify an illustration. Once customised, each image is easily exported as a PowerPoint slide, a PDF file or a stand alone JPEG file. Users can create unlimited personalised folders to save and store their edited images. These high-quality anatomy illustrations create effective handouts, study-aids as well as visually dynamic lectures.
The Thieme Teaching Assistant: Anatomy is projected as an innovative platform that allows users to search for anatomical structures and browse chapters modeled after the book, Atlas of Anatomy. A handy zoom feature allows users to see an exquisite level of detail in each image. A free demo section lets visitors sample the platform's features. This advanced, web-based tool provides every instructor with the opportunity to enhance the learning experiences of their students by incorporating illustrations into lectures and course materials to present complex concepts with unprecedented clarity.
