[Web-based learning tools in pathology].

Abstract

Pathology is an image based discipline and therefore well suited for web-based teaching. PathoBasiliensis (http://www.unibas.ch/patho/) is a freely accessible internet site addressing various target groups. The site consists of various complementing and constitutive teaching- and information modules. The image database PathoPic represents the central element of the teaching modules. Based on this database teaching modules and learning games have been and are being developed allowing users to exercise diagnostic skills adapted to the individual learning process. Development and evaluation of the online histopathology course HiPaKu and the game Matching pair are presented.
