Education using Myokit

I am proud and happy to report that Myokit is being used as an educational tool to let students explore cardiac cellular electrophysiology!

The following people have told me they use Myokit in their classes:

• Dr. Mohamed-Yassine Amarouch has used Myokit to teach practical classes on physiology at the University of Sidi Mohamed Ben Abdellah of Fès, Multidisciplinary faculty of Taza.
• Dr. Hannes Todt used Myokit in a course on "Science and Medicine", at the Medical University of Vienna. Myokit was used to simulate experiments which the students were then asked to evaluate.
