Digital SlideBox –Your entire histology lab, online.
Revolutionise your histology teaching
More students and less resources make life a challenge for histology educators. In response, Universities are increasingly using digital microscopy, to either complement or replace traditional microscopy based practicals.
Digital SlideBox is the world's best software package for creating online histology labs. Developed with leading academic institutes, it is the only solution created by educators, for educators. Its easy to use interface provides everything needed to produce high value, digital slide based teaching material. What?s more, it is the only system that is compatible with all major digital slide formats.
Benefits
- Reduce lab costs
- Increase practical class sizes
- Minimise demonstrator overhead
- Maximise teaching efficiency
- Standardise histology course material
- Integrate rare cases into slide sets
Unique Features
Teach
Create unrivalled teaching material that students can interact with. Don't just annotate tissue features, add descriptions, questionnaires and multimedia files such as lecture notes, presentations and videos.
Assess
Only Digital SlideBox allows educators to add assessments to their digital slides. Quickly create and attach questionnaires, invite students to answer then review submissions. Then provide rapid feedback by presenting correct answers for student review.
Share
Give students unlimited access to teaching material anytime, anywhere. Connect with other universities using SlidePath software to share rare or interesting slides, and integrate slides produced by any major slide scanner (Aperio, Hamamatsu, Zeiss).
Manage
Simple and powerful tools provide educations with unparalleled user and content management. Organise classes, courses and assessments quickly and easily. Assign coursework to classes with a single mouse click, review completion rates and notify students of impending deadlines.
Case Study - University of Bristol
One of the top 10 ranking UK universities, the University of Bristol has been designated a national Centre for Excellence in Teaching and Learning (CETL). As part of their continued drive to provide a modern, effective medical curriculum, the University chose Digital SlideBox to deliver their histology coursework.
Anita Sengupta, lecturer in Anatomy, Oral Histology:
„Before we used Digital SlideBox, running practicals with up to 90 students with limited specialist teaching resources was a challenging task. Student practicals can now be run by a single faculty member, with students completing coursework faster than when using microscopes. Since switching to Digital SlideBox, student satisfaction has improved and they really appreciate and benefit from having access to slides outside of the laboratory.“
Dr Phil Langton, project coordinator at the University:
„Digital microscopy has developed quickly and now offers students the opportunity to navigate around a histological section at a variety of magnifications, much more as one would using a conventional microscope. What attracted us to SlidePath and their Digital SlideBox application was their understanding of Higher Education and their focus on functions that have real educational value.“
