[Use of a computer in a system to help teach medical diagnosis [AEDM] (author's transl)].
Computer-assisted instruction permits a student to work individually and at his own pace. His learning occurs by interactive dialogue with a conversational type terminal. The system comprises the following programs: tutorial, conversational and simulation. The study describes the objectives and the characteristics of a system based on a simulation program using the file of the data-base from the Rennes Hospital. Furthermore it describes in detail the steps that the student must take and discusses the programming of the system. The recording of the various lessons is subjected to statistical analyses to make the teaching exercises better and to adapt the conversation to the behaviour of the students facing the system.
