HistoLogic 2.0.329

HistoLogic is a comprehensive educational resource tailored for individuals seeking to deepen their understanding of tissue microscopy, particularly within the context of graduate medical education. Developed by faculty at the University of Illinois College of Medicine Peoria, this application provides users with access to an extensive collection of high-quality histology images accompanied by informative descriptions of crucial cells, tissues, and structures across various organ systems.

The Explore mode facilitates a detailed exploration of cells found in different organs and elucidates their functions within the human body. Users can seamlessly toggle between low and high magnification images, which effectively highlight specialized cells; accompanying text provides insights into their unique characteristics and roles.

Additionally, the app features a Time Trial mode that includes multiple-choice questions presented at increasing levels of difficulty. With over 350 questions available, this feature enables users to test their knowledge across multiple organ systems while encouraging repeated engagement through performance tracking, as users attempt to surpass their previous scores. The order of questions is randomized for each session, and the app tailors itself to address the user's prior answers.

For those with advanced knowledge in histology, Hot Streak mode presents a unique challenge. Participants must answer all 90 questions related to a specific organ system in a single session; one incorrect response resets the progress and reorganizes the question sequence, adding an element of urgency to the learning experience.

Key Features:

• Access to hundreds of histology images spanning multiple organ systems.
• Ability to switch between high-quality images at both low and high-power magnification.
• Hand-drawn outlines highlighting significant cells, tissues, and structures.
• In-depth exploration of organs with emphasis on their critical histological features in Explore mode.
• Engagement with histology questions in Time Trial mode across three difficulty levels.
• Deployment of cognitive skills to tackle all 90 questions for an organ system in one session during Hot Streak mode.
• Endless replay potential as the question order is randomized for every session.
• Comprehensive explanations provided for each question answered incorrectly.
• Adaptive randomization that prioritizes previously missed items in future play sessions.
• Prospective updates promising additional organ systems in future releases.
