GONZALEZ REVUELTA, María Elena; BETANCOURT BADELL, José; ALONSO GONZALEZ, Nancy  and  NARANJO SAVON, Julio César. Utilidad de 2 historias animadas por computación para la enseñanza de la Fisiología. Educ Med Super [online]. 1999, vol.13, n.1, pp. 56-59. ISSN 0864-2141.

By using the Storyboard Life graph system 2 animated stories, FITEX (Physiology of the excitable tissuss) and FIRGRUST (Physiology of the blood groups and transfusions) were made aimed at facilitating the learning of 2 topics of the discipline of Physiology an at encouraging self-study as a way to develop independent work. To validate the efficiency of FITEX, 1st-year medical students were divided into 2 homologous groups. One of the them saw the animated story before attending the seminar about this topic, whereas the other group did not see it. The results obtained at the seminar were later compared. A similar procedure was used to validate FIGRUST among the 2nd-year nursing students. The academic results of those students that saw the animated stories before seminar were better. It was concluded that this type of teaching aid may be very useful for Physiology lessons.
