Overwiev:
The WBLMed (WebBased Learning in Medicine) project is conceived as
IT support for courses to be held at the Medical University of
Vienna. Taking advantage of web-based technologies, WBLMed provides the
contents of the curriculum for students and teachers equally.
Following
some guidelines given by the WBLMed concept, teachers prepare their lectures
in the usual way - most frequently as PowerPoint or Word files. The WBLMed
service team takes care of the conversion of the files into browser format.
Results:
So far, some presentations have been compiled for
"passive" use; one lecture (hemoatology) is designed for interactive learning,
which required only a small number of additional guidelines for the instructor
to prepare the PowerPoint files of the complete course.
