Can design principles of traditional learning theories be fulfilled by computer-based training systems in medicine: The example of CAMPUS

PURPOSE Computer-based training (CBT) systems offer the potential to efficiently support modern teaching and learning. However, it is still unknown if a similar efficient learning experience built on sound learning theories and corresponding design principles can be created in the complex health care environment. The purpose of this paper is to analyse to what extent learning theories and corresponding design principles are relevant and can successfully be applied in computer-based training in medicine. METHODS We use the case-based CBT system CAMPUS as an example for a CBT system currently used to enhance the medical teaching and learning experience. We apply two well-accepted learning theories (Blooms taxonomy and practice fields) and related design principles to determine to what extent they are relevant and fulfilled in the context of CAMPUS. RESULTS We demonstrate that in principle these learning theories and design principles can be implemented using computer-based training. However, not all design principles can be fulfilled by the system alone; rather the integration of the system into adequate -- traditional or virtual -- teaching and learning environments is essential. CONCLUSIONS Traditional learning theories and design principles are a valuable means in designing adequate CBT systems in medicine. They can be successfully implemented in CBT systems for medical education if the system itself is adequately integrated into teaching and learning environments.

Twenty five years of medical informatics education at Heidelberg/Heilbronn: discussion of a specialized curriculum for medical informatics.

Franz Josef Leven; Reinhold Haux

The specialized university curriculum for medical informatics (MI) at the University of Heidelberg/School of Technology Heilbronn is one of the oldest educational approaches in the field of MI and has been successful now for 25 years with about 1000 graduates (Diplom-Informatikerin der Medizin or Diplom-Informatiker der Medizin). It belongs to the category of dedicated masters programs for MI and is based on the concept of MI as a medical discipline of its own. It is oriented towards the total spectrum of MI ranging from health care economics, biosignal and medical image processing, medical documentation, to information and knowledge processing in medicine. It is a 4.5 years program with a strong emphasis on the methodological foundations of MI and on practical education in a number of specific laboratories. A total of 35 students are admitted each semester and in total about 440 students are enrolled. The faculty consists of 17 full-time members and about 25 part-time lecturers. The authors report on characteristics, structure and contents of the new fifth version of the curriculum and discuss the features of a specialized curriculum for MI with respect to the challenges for MI in the 21st century.

Software-Engineering-Ausbildung in einer Apple-Macintosh-Entwicklungsumgebung

Franz Josef Leven

Seit 1972 wird der Studiengang Medizinische Informatik von der Fachhochschule Heilbronn und der Universitat Heidelberg, Fakultat fur Theoretische Medizin, gemeinsam durchgefuhrt mit Lehrveranstaltungen in Heilbronn und Heidelberg. Dieses Curriculum fuhrt in einem9-semestrigen Studium zur Graduierung Diplominformatiker der Medizin (Dipl-Inform. Med.) durch die Universitat Heidelberg. Absolventen des Studienganges konnen an der Medizinischen Fakultat der Universitat zum Dr. sc. hum. (scientiarum humanarum) promovieren. 350 Studenten sind eingeschrieben. Die Zahl der bisherigen Absolventen betragt ca. 550. Die Struktur des Curriculums (Abb. 1) wird dadurch gekennzeichnet, das Inhalte der Medizinischen Informatik vom ersten Semester an integriert sind und in der zweiten Studienhalfte sowohl im Pflichtteil als auch auch in den von den Studenten wahlbaren Schwerpunkten ausgepragt sind. Diese Schwerpunkte geben das breitbandige Spektrum der Medizinischen Informatik wieder, z.B. Betriebswirtschaftliche Anwendungen im Gesundheitswesen, Biosignalverarbeitung und Bildverarbeitung, Bildung mathematischer und statistischer Modelle in der Medizin, und Informations- und Wissensverarbeitung in der Medizin, insbesondere auch Expertensysteme zur Unterstutzung der medizinischen Entscheidungsfindung.
