The specimen from your department's shelf, on every student's screen
For teachers and methodologists who already have filmed demonstrations or 3D models: that material can now sit inside a course as a lesson that counts toward progress and the certificate.
The lesson editor now has two more blocks, «Lesson video» and «3D model». A course author or organisation administrator uploads an MP4 or WebM file of up to 100 MB, or a GLB model with its textures built in, and attaches it to an empty lesson. Uploaded files go to the organisation's media library, which has new «Videos» and «Models» filters. A lesson that already holds written text or is of another type is not overwritten by the attachment.
Students can inspect the model themselves
The model turns by dragging or with the arrow keys and zooms with the mouse wheel, a pinch, or Page Up / Page Down. The student is offered completion only after the video is ready to play or the model has loaded. If the file does not open, the lesson says so and shows «Try again» instead of passing as an empty page.
A course enrolment is not a media-library pass
After the normal lesson-access check, the learner receives a short-lived link to the one file used in that lesson. Files used in lessons cannot be deleted from the media library.
Course materials can prepare the seminar
Put the department's recording of a skill demonstration before the practical session, so class time starts with hands-on practice rather than with watching.
Attach a model of a specimen from the department's collection to the seminar lesson, so every student can turn it on their own screen before the discussion.
Use it alongside Pathology3D, where students model organs from norm to pathology in training and test modes: your own model shows the particular specimen the department works with.
Models that need a decoder to unpack compression are not accepted yet, so export the GLB uncompressed. On the live platform, video playback and model display were checked in Chromium in a 1440 px desktop window and on a 375 px touch screen. Safari has not been confirmed yet; if the group uses iPhones, open the lesson there before class.
