Two groups of high school students alternately used laptop computers with multimedia and presentation software to study anatomy and physiology content over the course of one school year. Each group used computers for two quarters and traditional paper-based materials for two quarters. Both groups were taught the same curriculum by the same teacher. The course grades of the two groups were compared each quarter. Analysis indicated that the students benefited from creating PowerPoint (1986–2000) presentations and reviewing course material with the A.D.A.M. (Animated Dissection of Anatomy for Medicine)—The Inside Story (1997) software.
