The MEFANET project (MEdical FAculties NEIWork) has initiated international, effective and open cooperation among all Czech and Slovak medical faculties in the medical education fields.
This paper introduces the original MEFANET educational web portal platform. Its main aim is to present the unique collaborative environment, which combines the sharing of electronic educational resources with the use tools for their quality evaluation.
It is in fact a complex e-publishing system, which consists of ten standalone portal instances and one central gateway. The fundamental principles of the developed system and used technologies are reported here, as well as procedures of a new multidimensional quality assessment. (c) 2012 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.
