Since spring 2023, biology professor Dr. Anahit Hovhannisyan has integrated VR technology into some of her classes to help students with visualization and memorization of the human brain anatomy.

The program looked appealing and suitable for her class, she said.
“Memorizing structures and learning their locations in anatomy classes is mostly related to memorization and not much of logical implementation. I was looking for ways of how I can make my students get the logical component and learn anatomical structures easier,” Hovhannisyan said. “How can I improve the memorization process?”
