Practicing PC communication and detecting the usefulness and limits of it. Methods: We try to emulate the concept of Problem Based Learning (PBL) in an electronic environment. PBL is a learning method for small groups. The aim is to create an environment of active discussion about a given problem and to derive precise questions from the problems experienced. The tutor's task is to facilitate the group process and to provide the group with further information about the patients history, clinical examination, other examinations and therapy. Tutors will not answer to content related problems, though they are supposed to guide.
