The field epidemiology manual (FEM) wiki: a collaborative eLearning online portal to be launched at ESCAIDE

摘要

The aim of the FEM wiki project is to make the training manual available online using a collaborative Web 2.0 platform that takes advantage of user-generated input while simultaneously certifying the scientific content through an editorial and review process. An editorial board consisting of field epidemiology experts has been established to convert the existing single docu- ment chapters, created by EPIET trainers, scientific coordinators and facilitators, into a set of hyperlinked wiki pages, each describing key epidemiological con- cepts. The training structure of the original chapters is preserved, and linked to a set of fora that support com- menting and discussion.
