title: [Developing authoring tools for web-based multi-media orthopedics education modules].
abstract: In the framework of the EC-Project VOEU ("Virtual Orthopaedic European University"), authoring tools have been developed to support the implementation of online interactive courses for multimedia orthopaedic educational modules. Based on the pedagogical concept of case-based, problem-oriented learning, different user-interaction scenarios and Learning Objects (LOs) were analyzed and developed. Each LO acts as an interactive dialogue presenting one kind of question with certain rules and interactions. The multimedia course content entailing anamnesis, diagnosis and therapy is managed in a database and can be adaptively generated as certain LO with the help of Active Server Pages (ASPs). As an example, an interactive course on Developmental Dislocation of Hip has been implemented.
