Development and Evaluation of Computer-based Resources
for Medical Education:
Members of the department, in collaboration with the Medical Education
Unit, maintain an active interest in the development of computer-based
educational tools. A number of software projects are in progress, and these
are accompanied by full evaluation through quantitative and qualitative
investigation. Studies are currently underway to determine the most
effective way of providing material on the computer, which can improve
problem solving skills and understanding.
Other projects involve the use of computer-based tools to measure clinical
competence, both formatively and summatively.
