Christof Daetwyler, the editor of this publication, is
medical doctor but works since more than seven years
exclusively in the field of computer aided medical
education at the Division for Instructional Media AUM
of the Medical Faculty of the University of Berne,
Switzerland. Specially the two main projects he did
together with Marco Mumenthaler are quite well known:
Both, "Neurology interacitve" and "Headache
interactive" werde awarded with the EASA (European
Academic Software Award 1998 and 2000). Since October
2000, Christof Daetwyler moderates a two day
"Didactica" workshop at the Swiss Federal Highschool
ETH and University of Zürich about how to create
educational CD-ROMs. From September 2001 on, Christof
Daetwyler will join the Group of Joe Henderson at the
IML (Interactive Media Lab) of the Dartmouth-College

Introduction
Some thoughts about what what should be learned -
and how
(Medical Students should be
prepared for the "real world")
- The role of drama and swamp in computer-based
multimedial education
by Joe
Henderson (Dartmouth - USA)

"HENDERSON.doc" in english language")
Joe Henderson is the Director of the Interactive Media
Laboratory in Dartmouth (USA). He writes about how to
use the power of drama to bring the user into direct
contact to the mediated reality.
How could computer support collaborative
learning?
(Medical students are often
social people - they don't want to sit by their own in
front of a "death" monitor)
- About methodologies for researching
collaborative learning
by Kim
Issroff (London - UK)
(Download Paper
"ISSROFF.doc" in english lanugage)

"Telekooperation for Design and Development in virtual
Projektgroups".
- About experiences with a pilot project that
supports collaborative learning
by Peter
Langkafel (Berlin - Germany)
(Download
"LANGKAFEL.doc" in german language)
Peter Langkafel developed and evaluated IMIPPP
(International Medical Internet Project of
Problem-based Pain Management) to teach the medical
characteristics and problems of pain. 20 international
students are working self-reliantly as well as in
groups on practical cases.
Formative and summative evaluation with the
WWW?
(The curriculum is triggered
by the exams - so we have to change exams in order to
change the curriculum)
- About experiences with computer-aided
personalized learning and exams in histology
by Robert
Ogilvie (Charleston - USA)
(Download
Paper "OGILVIE_et_al.doc" in english language)
Robert Ogilvies main field of interest are the
computer-aided non-linear access and learning of cell,
tissue and organ microscopic architecture. At the
University of Charleston he implemented in 1996 a
web-based examination tool with direct feedback. So
his writing reflects years of experience which makes
it very valuable to me.
What is the future of
CAL?
(I have a
dream...)
- The impact of haptic I/O-devices to the future
of CAL in medicine
by Victor
Spitzer (UCHSC Denver - USA)
(Download Paper
"SPITZER.doc" in english lanugage)
Victor Spitzer is the real father of the "Virtual
Human Project" of the National Library of Medicine. At
his lab, they did not only cut the cadaver into thin
slices and made slides - they also made a voxalisation
and gave each voxel different qualities. Now they're
working on stereographic virtual surgery with haptic
I/O devices on this voxelset.
- How the "virtual campus" will change future
education
by Jaques
Monnard (Fribourg - Switzerland)
(Download Paper
"Monnard.doc" in english language)
Jaques Monnard is a pioneer in web-based education.
He's maintaining the EduteCH sites - and he's an
important promoter for the Swiss Virtual Campus. He
also participated in several projects in the field of
educational technology at the Centre for New
Technology in Education at the University of
Fribourg.

"FISCHER.doc" in english lanugage)
Martin Fischer is one of the initiators of the "CASUS"
authoring and learning system. The aim of "CASUS" is
to easily implement case-based education for clinical

authoring-system which allows even an inexperienced
user to put texts and multimedial data in a
structurated way together to a learning program. The
system enables the author to illustrate his diagnostic
reasoning strategy in a sophisticated way - and make
it available to the student as a reference.
