eHistoLab Virtual Microscopy Boosts Histology Exam Scores vs. E-Lectures in Iranian Students

In a quasi-experimental study, histology students using the eHistoLab virtual microscopy web app scored significantly higher on post-tests than those with e-lectures (P<0.001). 58% preferred the app over textbooks (26%) or recorded lectures (16%).

• Quasi-experimental pre-test/post-test study with 100 medical, dentistry, and pharmacy students randomly assigned to eHistoLab or e-lecturing.
• 62% of students said eHistoLab motivated learning, versus a combined approach (30%) or recorded lectures (8%).
• Single-center design limits external validity; no blinding.
