Welcome to the PathoSchema Immersive Classroom Experience (PICE)
What is PICE ?
PICE is a brand new way to reimagine how traditional classrooms functions. The aim is simple - we want to move away from the traditional powerpoint presentation sphere.
PICE aims to add another dimension to classroom learning - real time simulation using advance artificial intelligence coding to bring pathophysiology and medicine alive.
Please note we are currently in our BETA testing phase. If you notice any issues, please email the creator at Hari@astavalence.ai
Plans :
There are 10 Chapters in total.
Before each chapter, you will have 5 minutes to play around with the simulators
Do it in pairs ; Identify something you didn’t know before, during this 5 minutes
Then we will debrief as a class
Repeat cycle until all chapters are complete or 12.30pm arrives, whichever comes first
