<ne of the difficulties for students of 3ioscience is that"
due to the complexity of 3ody
systems" real, life experiments
do not al)ays turn out as expected. =here is e'idence
that the
use of models can 3e more effecti'e than the use of real o3>ects
in helping
3eginning tertiary students understand complex concepts
*17/. 0omputer,assisted
learning *0A1/ pac2ages are an appropriate
option for physiology instruction" as
they are amena3le to modeling
complex systems and elucidating complex concepts
and are usually
considered a 'alua3le learning tool 3y students *1/. (ot unexpectedly"
many computer simulations ha'e 3een de'eloped and are a'aila3le
in the pu3lic domain
for use in teaching a3out the function
of neurons and the action potential in particular.
?n many instances" these can 3e accessed 'ia the @e3. Some of
these are concerned )ith
the original experiments of %odg2in

these and others
allo) manipulations of ion conductances *9/ or ion concentrations

as )ell as current and 'oltage clamp experiments to examine
effects on mem3rane
potential" current flo)s" and the shape
of the action potential )a'e *7" 14/. =he
emphasis )ith these
simulations is on the neurophysics of responses of neurons to
differing physiological conditions. 1ittle attention is gi'en
to pro'iding realistic
simulations of a physiological la3oratory.
Simulations on the @e3" )hich seem to 3e intended more for 3eginning

sometimes fail to con'ey a sense of reality. ?n some

(euro1a3 has 3een de'eloped at the $aculty of %ealth" &ni'ersity
of (e)castle in
Australia" to concentrate on the structure and
function of neurons. At the heart of (euro1a3 are
se'eral simulations
of experiments on the 3asic
functions of neurons. 0lassical
la3oratory exercises
utiliEing external recordings of ner'e
impulses" as is
commonly performed on frog sciatic ner'e
preparations"
sometimes mislead students a3out
)hat it is they are o3ser'ing.
#ecause in lectures
and in text3oo2s students are taught a3out
intracellular recording of a single action potential"
they sometimes
)rongly 3elie'e that they are o3ser'ing the acti'ity of >ust
one axon
)hen the intensity of stimulation applied to the sciatic
ner'e is increased and the
amplitude of the compound action
potential increases. Students" )ho )rongly 3elie'e
that they
are o3ser'ing intracellular e'ents" interpret this to mean that
the amplitude of a
single action potential can increase )ith
increasing intensity of the stimulus. ?t is
explicit in (euro1a3
that students are carrying out intracellular impalements of
neurons
so that these misconceptions do not arise.
=o engage studentsF interest and acti'e participation
in (euro1a3" )e paid close
attention to the graphic and instructional
design to create a realistic simulation of an
electrophysiology
la3oratory. $or example" )hen students use the microelectrode
to
impale the neuron" the electrode can 3rea2" pass right through
the neuron" or 3ecome
clogged at the tip or slip out of the
cell. <nly in 806 of attempts do they get a GgoodG
impalement.
=hese 'arious scenarios" as )ell as the need to manipulate the
cathode ray
oscilloscope and the stimulator in a 2no)ledgea3le
)ay" generate a strong sense of
realism throughout and" in turn"
encourage high,le'el interacti'ity 3et)een the student

&sing the 0A1 pac2age *(euro1a3/ seems to

friendly
and )ould li2e more of these 0A1 pac2ages *=a3le 2/.
?n terms of increasing understanding of physiological concepts
the results )ere less
clear. Although students 3elie'ed that
their understanding of neuron function had
impro'ed *=a3le 2/"
this has not 3een 3orne out in an analysis of student performance
on
0Bs concerning neuron mem3rane potentials and ion flo)s.
Although the mean result
of the 0A1 students for these questions
)as slightly higher than that of the non,0A1
students" this
difference )as not statistically significant *=a3le 9/. <nly
one question in
the 0B test related specifically to neuron
structure. 0A1 students performed much
3etter than the non,0A1
students on this question *=a3le 9/. =his may reflect the
additional
practice that 0A1 students o3tained in la3eling diagrams of
neurons in
(euro1a3. #ecause the students )ho undertoo2 the
test *=a3les 3 and 9/ 'olunteered"
there may 3e a selection
3ias in our results. =he potential for 3ias is mitigated to
some
extent 3ecause the test )as not ad'ertised; approximately
the same proportion of 0A1
and non,0A1 students undertoo2 the
tests" and the differences )ere consistent across
enrollment
programs.
As )ell as influences on student learning" (euro1a3 pro'ides
an opportunity for all
students to participate in all aspects
of the experiments. =his is not al)ays the case in
con'entional
la3oratory classes" )here students often )or2 in groups )ith
only one or
t)o 3eing acti'e participants. $urthermore" the
degree and le'el of assistance is
impro'ed. ?t is difficult
for academic staff to pro'ide much personaliEed assistance for
anything more than a fe) minutes at a time in a con'entional
la3oratory class of 30 or
more students. ?n (euro1a3" assistance
is regular and personaliEed.
Students ha'e to 3ecome 'ery intellectually in'ol'ed to )or2
through the pac2age
successfully. =hroughout" each student is
called upon to respond to questions" to la3el
diagrams" to underta2e
arithmetic calculations" and to collect and interpret data in
an
experimental situation. =he computer simulations of these
experiments pro'ide models
of the real thingNmodels that
can 3e manipulated and experimented on to yield
appropriate
information. =he complexity of interaction of 3ody systems can
3e a'oided.
As ichael *13/ has commented" G<ne of the things
that ma2es learning physiology
difficult is the fact that e'erything
ultimately is connected to e'erything else.
Aistur3ances to
one part of one system )ill gi'e rise to consequences that in'ol'e
many
organs or organ systems.G ?t is not al)ays clear to the
student )hy an experiment has
Ggone )rong.G =here is e'idence
in other fields of tertiary study that the use of models
can
3e more effecti'e than the use of real o3>ects in helping 3eginning
students
understand complex concepts *17/. Although our models

do not present )hat might appear
