Abstract:
This article describes the development of an interactive online tutorial that enables pre-clinical medical students to develop and practice clinical skills such as history taking, examination, investigation and formulating a diagnosis. The development of this multimedia product consisted of four stages: (1) identifying the educational objective (2) content design (3) multimedia build (4) product testing, revision and incorporation into the curriculum. As a result of this development process, the tutorial was seen by students as genuinely student-centred in design and innovative in the way it takes advantage of the technology of the internet.
