Pathology education faces several key challenges. Access to consistent teaching materials is limited by the need for physical slides and microscopes, which makes standardization across institutions difficult. Scaling education to large groups of students while ensuring everyone learns the same material is also a major hurdle. Additionally, the process is inefficient as manual distribution of materials and offline assessments prevent educators from easily tracking student progress.
The OptraSCAN® Pathology E-Learning Platform is a cloud-based digital pathology education system with dedicated teacher and student workflows. It consolidates WSIs, course material, assignments, and assessments into a unified environment where educators can create courses, upload slides, build assessments, manage classes, track performance, and host virtual sessions. Students can explore WSIs interactively, review annotations, complete assignments, and access feedback through guided learning modules. With integrated teleconsultation and performance tracking, the platform delivers scalable, consistent, high-quality pathology education anytime, anywhere.
