Özet

Prerequisites and steps for creation of branched Web-based clinical case simulations (CCS) and tutorials for problem-based learning (PBL) are described. In both approaches linear information from different sources is converted to interactive clinical problem for solving by students. Both approaches make medical students aware of basic biochemical principles and of the dynamics and the necessity of quick and accurate decisions in real-life conditions. Algorithms for preparation and for operation of CCS are represented. Examples of a Web-based CCS of galactosemia and a PBL tutorial on obesity are described in short. Some differences are represented. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
