A cooperative approach to distance learning in radiobiology

Publication at Faculty of Medicine in Hradec Králové |

Abstract

Radiobiology is an important discipline both in civilian and military medicine. It is also a highly complex field, combining topics from basic physics to clinical oncology and radiotherapy.

This level of complexity made it quite unpopular among pre-graduate students and difficult to grasp for teachers from any single department at the same moment. We attempted to overcome these difficulties by combining strengths of multiple departments, which cooperated to author a single e-learning course.

Each chapter includes a brief self-evaluation test, which can be used by the students to assess their progress in understanding of the given topic. Our e-learning course became the fundamental study material of a new elective subject, taught at the Faculty of Medicine in Hradec Králové, which has proven to be surprisingly popular among pre-graduate students of the 4th and 5th study years
