This study introduces PC-CAI, a computer program for creating educational modules and tests. It facilitates rapid content development and provides feedback, enhancing medical student learning and resident exam preparation.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education Technology
  • Computer-Assisted Instruction

Background:

  • Traditional medical education methods can be time-consuming to supplement.
  • Developing effective teaching and testing materials requires significant effort.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce PC-CAI, a software tool for rapidly creating computer-aided instruction (CAI) modules and multiple-choice tests.
  • To highlight the program's utility in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology for medical students and residents.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a word-processed file input for text character presentation.
  • Developed the software for IBM-PC/XT/AT compatibility under MS-DOS.
  • Employed the program for authoring supplementary learning modules and administering pre-/post-tests.

Main Results:

  • Enabled rapid creation of comprehensive teaching modules with feedback and explanations.
  • Facilitated the development of practice tests for resident in-training exams.
  • Modules are easily modifiable to reflect evolving medical concepts.

Conclusions:

  • PC-CAI serves as an effective learning tool, offering more than just assessment.
  • The software streamlines the creation of educational content, improving efficiency in medical departments.
  • Its flexibility supports continuous updates in medical education materials.
