Abstract:
Blended Learning Basic Course Sonography - A SGUM Accredited Ultrasound Course Based on Peer-Tutoring Abstract. In various countries, students organize themselves to teach each other practical sonography skills through peer tutoring. A joint project of the Swiss universities and the SGUM is actively supporting this movement. In an e-learning course with a basic part and twelve organ-specific lessons, the anatomy and the standards of practical examination are demonstrated with videos. For each lesson, the students complete practical training sessions with a peer tutor and document these in a logbook. Students will be accredited to the SGUM Abdomen Sonography Basic Course after passing the practical final exam. This article describes some strategic and didactic considerations about this innovative project as well as the current state of implementation.

Basic Operations on Signals
Time Reversal mirrors a continuous-time signal about the vertical axis at t=0. This is achieved by substituting t with −t. For example, if a signal x(t) is considered, the time-reversed signal is x(−t). This operation can be graphically represented, showing the mirrored signal.
