Creation of interactive casustics in the WikiLectures

Publication

Abstract

Interactive casuistics are an important part of modern teaching methods at the medical schools. They are able to simulate the decision and differential-diagnosis algorithms that are common in the clinical practice.

At present – several casuistics covering internal medicine and clinical genetics topics are available in the WikiLectures. Each casuistic includes several linked pages with interactive components, that lead the student from the anamnesis to the results and conclusions of the case.

Of course, these pages are linked to various articles in WikiLectures, which enables students to access different useful topics with just one click. WikiLectures present a dynamic web space for articles and lectures covering various medical topics.

WikiLectures also enables creation of simple interactive casuistics, which are special because of the connection of the casuistic and various learning texts.
