Abstract:
The Educational Resources Web (ERWeb) and Computer Aided Learning Reviews (CAL Reviews) have been developed by the Clinical and Biomedical Computing Unit at Cambridge University in the UK over the past two and a half years. They are part of an Internet-based, integrated, secure, teaching and learning environment, designed for clinical students and teaching staff in the School.
In developing these systems, we have
addressed issues common to medical schools worldwide. These include:
Other areas under development include:
Most of the developments described here
employ Microsoft Access databases and Active Server Page (ASP) technology to
deliver the information and educational resources to standard web browsers.
Benefit in Attending
Session:
During this session we will demonstrate
key features of the Educational Resources Web and Computer Aided Learning
Reviews and explore how the issues described above have been addressed in the
Cambridge Clinical Course. Student and staff reactions to the developments will
also be outlined.
