ABSTRACT:

The original PBL-papercases of the Reformed Medical Curriculum in Berlin were supplemented with Multimedia material. For the new aspect of this project our aim was to use the established PBL-system to introduce and test new technologies. Through several steps, we analyzed the influence of the new media (Laptops) in PBL-Sessions. The poster will illustrate the analysis of this implementation.

We will demonstrate how multimedia can be used in PBL as a tool, which helps intensify clinical thinking and the student's learning perspective without changing the original interactive group setting. In the last step, the group-centered project is being developed in an experimental wireless scenario, where the bridge between acquiring basic knowledge and getting into direct patient interaction can be spanned.

BENEFIT TO PARTICIPANTS ATTENDING SESSION:

New aspects of multimedia in PBL-sessions are elucidated. We will try to show, how already existing scenarios can be developed, how we developed our scenario and what happened when we introduced it into the classical PBL-groups.
