title: Challenges and perspectives of computer-assisted instruction in medical education: lessons learned from seven years of experience with the CAMPUS system.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  In this paper we discuss solutions to the problem that medical teachers and students do not use modern computer-assisted instruction systems in medical education as much as expected by their developers.
  
  
  METHODS
  As an example for a modern problem-based CAI system we introduce the CAMPUS shell system for case-based training in medicine.
  
  
  RESULTS
  CAMPUS has received several awards and positive evaluation results. Nevertheless, the usage of such systems in courses and for self-study could be increased.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Curricular integration of CAI as well as further improvements on existing CAI systems to increase the usage in medical education is essential.
