The recent novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has placed additional pressures on medical schools to adapt the medium over which the curriculum is delivered. The use of tactile learning with three-dimensional models and distanced learning via videoconferencing may provide alternative teaching methods to meet otolaryngology undergraduate learning requirements. This pilot study aimed to assess the differences in undergraduate student attitudes toward tactile learning via nontactile distanced learning and review their acceptability among this cohort.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Methods\u2003Two groups of medical students observed a single educational event on the larynx and management of the airway. The learning opportunity was delivered in a lecture format with the lecturer demonstrating on an anatomical model of the larynx. Group one (tactile group) had an identical model to interact with during the lecture and were present within the lecture theater; group two (nontactile group) did not and observed the lecture via video link. Students were asked to rank their opinion to several statements about the session based on an 11-point Likert's scale and give qualitative feedback.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Results\u2003All ranked feedback was mainly positive. Tactile learning was statistically equivalent to nontactile learning based on the ranked feedback from the students, except for \u201cimprovement in anatomical knowledge,\u201d for which the students believed tactile learning was superior (p\u2009=\u20090.017). A variety of qualitative feedback was received by both groups.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Conclusion\u2003This pilot study provides evidence for the acceptability among students of the use of nontactile distanced learning to deliver the otolaryngology undergraduate curriculum compared with tactile learning. This can provide the basis for larger studies to assess the educational impact of these different teaching methods.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0041-1733992","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,14]],"date-time":"2021-09-14T23:02:58Z","timestamp":1631660578000},"page":"e259-e264","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Anatomical Models versus Nontactile Distanced Learning in Otolaryngology Teaching"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"07","author":[{"given":"Aashish","family":"Pandya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical Education Department, School of Medicine, Cardiff University, Cardiff, United Kingdom"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dylan","family":"Mistry","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical Education Department, School of Medicine, Cardiff University, Cardiff, United Kingdom"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"David","family":"Owens","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical Education Department, University Hospital Wales, Cardiff, United Kingdom"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,14]]},"reference":[{"issue":"03","key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"318","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2929.2005.02095.x","article-title":"Perceptions of dissection by students in one medical school: beyond learning about anatomy.
