Medical applications of Computer-based learning
PHILIP G. BARKER, Paul van Schaik · 2001
Interactive access to instructional materials and educational information is now possible by means of a wide range of relatively low-cost technologies. This means that many new and exciting educational applications of computer-based learning are starting to become available. This paper therefore discusses some new applications of computer-based learning within the domain of medicine. In particular, we consider its role as an agent for ‘patient education’. Our approach to the creation of ‘patient education systems ’ is discussed and then illustrated by means of a case study approach involving a recent study that we have made in relation to female urinary incontinence.
