Abstract:
The World Wide Web (WWW) promises many advantages in the distribution and presentation of electronic learning modules for medical education. However, there is a well-known obstacle: finding the right offers on demand. We developed a solution based on international standards called Learning Resource Server Medicine (LRSMed), which provides a meta-data collection of electronic learning modules. Based on the meta-data, LRSMed offers a service for the learners to retrieve WWW resources at the time of learning. We used the IMS Learning Resource Meta-data Information Model as suitable meta-data specification, the eXtensible Markup Language (XML) as syntax for interfaces and the Oracle suite for implementation. LRSMed is available at http://mmedia.medizin.uni-essen.de/portal/. More than 260 learning resources are currently registered and described. So far a user-interface has been implemented which allows searching, commenting and editing. In the next future we will add an application programming interface (API) for the integration of LRSMed in portals, learning platforms and information systems of hospitals, medical practices or healthcare networks.

Avoidance Learning and Learned Helplessness
Avoidance learning occurs when an organism learns that a specific behavior can prevent an unpleasant outcome. For example, a student who receives a bad grade may start studying harder to avoid future poor grades. This behavior persists even when the negative outcome is no longer present. Avoidance learning is powerful because it maintains behavior in the absence of the...

Data are classified based on whether they are measurable or not. Categorical data cannot be measured; instead, it can be divided into categories. For example, if Y denotes a person's party affiliation, some examples of Y include...
