Challenges and Perspectives of Computerassisted Instruction in Medical Education
Lessons Learned from Seven Years of Experience with the CAMPUS SystemPublication History

Summary
Objectives: In this paper we discuss solutions to the problem that medical teachers and students do not use modern computer-assisted instruction systems in medical education as much as expected by their developers.
Methods: As an example for a modern problem-based CAI system we introduce the CAMPUS shell system for case-based training in medicine.
Results: CAMPUS has received several awards and positive evaluation results. Nevertheless, the usage of such systems in courses and for self-study could be increased.
Conclusions: Curricular integration of CAI as well as further improvements on existing CAI systems to increase the usage in medical education is essential.
