Abstract
The teaching process in medical genetics should be practically oriented and interactive, and electronic tools help to enhance both these aspects. We have prepared two tools for medical genetics education.
The tool has two versions - one for use in seminars where students work together with their teacher, and where the tool serves as a support of pedigree construction during the discussion of types of inheritance. The second version is conceived for individual home study. "Pedigrees" is incorporated into the Learning Management System "Moodle", and is accompanied by theoretical information, diagrams and examples.
In general, these electronic tools allow medical students to practise in a virtual environment those situations, which are for practical reasons not easily accessible, ameliorate significantly the teaching process and effectively increase interactivity in medical genetics education.
