Methods: Conventional education systems, based on slide, video,
or computer demonstration, are usually structured in a sequential way.
As a consequence, case reports can only be demonstrated in a more or less
straight-forward manner, which does not reflect the medical situation
adequately. The software solution presented here is based on Microsoft
PowerPointä (PPT), which realises a customer-friendly presentation
of various data, like text, graphics, images, video as well as sound clips
and is therefore already widely used in medical education. Although offering
some kind of decision process via "interactive buttons" or "hyperlinks",
PPT is principally based on a sequential structure. In TES, an
additional user interface, which is realised in Visual Basic, is superimposed
to PPT in order to interactively select any kind of examination or information
in an optional sequence by the help of five "pull-up" menues.
By that way written information, image data as well as individual windows
for input of simple text (e.g. indicating signs, differential diagnoses)
are accessible. The individual diagnostic pathway is electronically documented
in parallel.
Results: Subsequent to a local pilot study phase in the university
eye hospital, TES has been already successfully integrated into
training courses (e.g. at the "Augenärztliche Akademie Düsseldorf,
AAD 2001"). According to the German school marks, ranging from 1
(excellent) to 6 (insufficient), consecutive analysis of 130 evaluation
forms yielded positive ratings (median; inter-quartile range) for TES
in regard to every-day applicability (2; 1), expenditure documentation
(2; 1) and inclination to use.
Conclusion: TES is a user-friendly software for both, students
as well as teachers, on their way towards a realistic, practice-oriented,
interactive education and knowledge transfer.
