Computer-assisted learning in medicine. How to create a novel software for immunology.
Teaching medical issues is increasingly demanding due to the permanent progress in medical sciences. Simultaneously, software applications are rapidly advancing with regard to their availability and easy use. Here a novel teaching program is presented for immunology, which is one of the fastest expanding topics in medical sciences. The requirements of media didactics were transferred to this e-learning tool for German students. After implementation, medical students evaluated the software and the different learning approaches showed acceptance. Altogether this novel software compares favourably to other English e-learning tools available in the Internet.
