摘要

In collaborative clinical learning field, several recent pertinent studies showed that gathering learners with their tutor still insufficient to improve students' learning quality and knowledge acquisition. Consequently, focusing attention on professional skills within a collaboration environment seems to be the most appropriate way to reach the wished learning objectives, particularly in a complex specialty such as medical diagnosis learning. In this paper, we firstly introduce the concept of medical diagnosis from cognitive studies view that have been performed in the field of medical education. Then, we will discuss our shared web environment designed to support distance diagnosis learning, which aims to promote knowledge co-construction and collaboration between learners.
