title: Computer-assisted learning in medicine. How to create a novel software for immunology.
abstract: 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.
