N2 - In this paper we present a study on the effectiveness of using a computer simulation software, SimuRad, in lab exercises for an undergraduate Medical Imaging course. This course is offered regularly in two modes, i.e. an on-campus section and an on-line section in different semesters. This enables us to compare students' learning experience with the same software in different environment. Our initial findings suggest that there is no significant difference in the effectiveness of these computer labs between the two groups of students. However, some slight but interesting differences in students learning behaviors are also observed. The development and assessment of this software is partially supported by an NSF CCLI grant.
