An intelligent Computer-Assisted Instruction system for clinical case teaching.
The use of computers in the field of medical education is common. Our purpose is to present a Computer-Assisted Instruction system which has been developed over ten years at the University of Compiègne and the University of Rennes Medical School. This system can be used to help the student to solve clinical cases by analyzing and critiquing their answers and by using a knowledge base which has been previously structured in a rule network. It is an intelligent Computer-Assisted Instruction system comprising an author module, a pedagogical module and a student module. The CAI system can be used as a simulation model for any type of diagnostic or therapeutic problem. In this paper we present the author and pedagogical module which have been built using our previous work on intelligent computer-assisted instruction systems.
