Web-based delivery of medical education contents used to facilitate learning of infectology subjects

摘要

The methodology of infectology knowledge sharing at the Faculty of medicine in Kosice, Slovakia, is presented in this paper. The new distance education based approach was realized within the learning innovation activities and with the aim to offer the latest information about infectology topics and related research results to the undergraduate and postgraduate students. This approach includes streaming of live educational events, elaboration of education materials as well as on-line archive of individual audiovisual lectures. The final multimedia outputs are applied in both the face-to-face and the distance education forms respecting educational strategy at the faculty. Furthermore, these outputs can be accessed through our faculty's web portal by any interested person. The initial response of our students convinced us about the positive impact of this project as it combines both the theoretical and the practical know-how of professionals into the electronic outcomes that can be used anywhere and from almost any device connected to the Internet.
