Sheridan first in Canada to invest in pair of innovative nursing education technologies

HoloAnatomy® Learning Platform has been integrated into curriculum of the Practical Nursing diploma and several other programs in Sheridan’s Faculty of Applied Health and Community Studies. HoloAnatomy’s 3D mixed reality software uses holographic imagery to display structures and systems in the body — including difficult-to-see anatomy such as the diaphragm, nervous and circulatory systems — to better support students in challenging courses such as anatomy and physiology. In addition to engaging learners through the ability to move, collaborate and interact with each other, HoloAnatomy provides a more sustainable alternative to the use of cadavers, which are extremely costly to house and preserve.
