An assessment of effectiveness of PLATO basic medical science lessons.
The present study investigated the effectiveness of PLATO basic medical science lessons. Evidence was found that users of the PLATO lessons earned higher mean scores than non-users on subtests of basic science examinations. The findings offer encouragement that PLATO materials may be viable educational tools within a first-year basic science program.
