Description: 論文(Article) ; In education on medical- or medical-related disciplines, effective student practice is acutely important. A computer-aided practice is a possible solution for effective student practice. However, installing laboratory-made applications is troublesome and even can cause security faults. Therefore, other convenient and secure methods are preferable. HTML5, the latest web standard, includes a canvas element that can be programmed in JavaScript language for two-dimensional dynamic drawings. Most modern web browsers, which are installed on computers and mobile devices, support this standard. Utilizing this feature, the study ported the Hodgkin and Huxley membrane model simulators for personal computers or Android devices into HTML5 capable devices and tested it in a student practice and evaluated the students' acceptance for the practice. The HTML5-based simulator readily run on the preliminary testing environments and students' devices (mainly iPhones or iPads) in actual practice. However, increased student involvement through additional interactivity of the application may be required for a better understanding of the topic. ; Original article ; journal article
