The teaching of radiation protection to a large group of physicians, who are separated geographically and haverncomplicated schedules, is a formidable problem. Therefore a web-based solution is attractive, allowing access tornthe material at any time and place. In this implementation the didactic material is presented in a web-basedrnformat. Subsequently, students attend a practical demonstration in one of the departments’ fluoroscopy rooms.rnBecause of local experience with distance education, WebCT was chosen to present the material. WebCT(WebrnCourse Tools)was developed by the University of British Columbia(UBC) to allow educators, with or withoutrntechnical expertise, to create sophisticated web-base. Authors use a standard Web browser to create courses, andrnstudents use their browsers to access course material. WebCT provides a wide variety of tools and features thatrncan be added to a course. Among the most useful tools used in this fluoroscopy course are the glossary, multiple-choicernquestions for each section, and a final test which is scored by the computer. As with all Web-basedrnmaterial the courses can be viewed in the traditional linear fashion or in any random way through the use ofrnlinkages.
