Medical Chemistry for First Year Medical Students
A Self Developed WWW-based Learning System
Summary
Web-based learning software supporting self-study in the field of Medical Chemistry was developed and used for the first time in the fall/winter term 96/97. The program is easy to modify since it is structured in two parts: a data base and a shell generating system. It supports preparation for both the entrance examination and the laboratory part of the course. User activities were logged by the server. Additional information was collected with on-line questionnaires and direct observation of student use in the computer clusters. Our experience shows that self developed software can gain a much higher acceptance than externally generated products if they are written in the standard language of instruction, are integrated into the standard curriculum, provide formative assessment by giving immediate feed back, and prepare students in an efficient manner for their examinations.
