Abstract

The MeduMobile project or Mobiler Campus Charité was started in the beginning of 2003 to evaluate new, multimedia supported teaching and learning scenarios. The project focuses especially on acute and rare diseases to which students usually have are very limited access. During the teaching sessions the MeduOnCall team and the academic teacher communicate with the students who are equipped with individual notebooks through a wireless net. In dermatology the MeduMobile project focused in summer 2003 and winter 2003/2004 on bedside teaching. Despite some technical difficulties in the beginning the project was well received by teachers and students. The possibility of simultaneous online searches by Internet as well as the possibility to include photographs depicting the course of the skin disease was felt to be one of the main advantages of this project. Based on these positive experiences an attempt will be made to integrate the project further into the regular teaching of the Charite.
