Biomedical education, a crucial component of science, medical, dental, and allied health professions, has traditionally relied on hands-on learning through on-campus lectures, workshops, and laboratories. This approach has been effective in imparting practical skills as well as fundamental knowledge and understanding. However, the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic necessitated a swift transition to online learning, presenting educators with numerous challenges. Higher Education staff had to adapt quickly to deliver visual subjects remotely, requiring them to navigate unfamiliar terrain and overcome technological barriers.

This book aims to address the challenges and solutions faced by Higher Education staff in teaching visual content in distance education. It encompasses a comprehensive range of biomedical subjects, degrees, and settings, including undergraduate and postgraduate programs. Chapters include literature reviews, original research, and pedagogical reflections, offering valuable insights into the teaching of visual content in various biomedical disciplines.

The book's primary objective is to compile expertise based on evidence gathered during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as to reflect on the challenges and lessons learned from this dramatic shift in teaching. It also presents new examples of best practices that have emerged from this experience, ensuring that they are not lost as we transition back to on-campus learning in a new era of biomedical education.

This book is of interest to a wide range of individuals, including educators, researchers, students, and professionals in the biomedical field. It provides valuable insights and strategies for teaching visual content effectively in remote and online environments, enabling educators to adapt to the changing landscape of education and deliver high-quality learning experiences to their students.
