Th e time in which we live is defi ned by the signifi cant infl uence of the information technologies on our lives, changes and development of society and the effi cacy of all the organization systems. Increase and development of distance learning (DL) technologies over the past decade has exposed the potential and the effi ciency of new technologies. Number of events has organized by teaching staff from Cathedra for Medical Informatics in order to promote distance learning and web based education are very extensive: Professional-scientifi c events, workshops and congresses, fi rst tele-exam at the Medical faculty, Introducing of Distance learning in curriculum at biomedical faculties, etc. At the University in Sarajevo in year was opened the e-learning center for the support to the faculties the distance studies by use of the information technology. At Medical faculty of University of Sarajevo at Cathedra for Medical informatics since is in progress realization of the project named: "Possibilities of introducing distance learning in medical curriculum" , approved by the Federal and the Cantonal ministry of science and education. Pilot project was realized during three past school years, theoretical and practical education of subject Medical informatics are adapted to the new concepts of education using world trends of education from the distance. One group of students was included in the project fi nalized by electronic exam registration and electronic exam on June , publicly, in the Physiology amphitheatre of the Medical faculty in Sarajevo.
Distance Learning at Biomedical Faculties in Bosnia & Herzegovina
Studies in health technology and informatics, 2005
Increase and development of distance learning technologies over the past decade has exposed the potential and the efficiency of new technologies. Benefit and use of contemporary information technologies is the area where medical informatics got the most on understanding and importance. Definition of distance learning as "use of technologies based on health care delivered on distance" covers areas such as electronic health, tele-health (e-health), telematics, telemedicine, tele-education, etc. For the need of e-health, telemedicine, tele-education and distance learning there are various technologies and communication systems from standard telephone lines to the system of transmission digitalized signals with modem, optical fiber, satellite links, wireless technologies, etc. Tele-education represents health education on distance, using Information Communication Technologies(ICT), as well as continuous education of a health system beneficiaries and use of electronic libraries, data bases or electronic data with data bases of knowledge. In this paper authors described activities on introduction of distance learning in teaching process at Medical faculty, University of Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Internet was not really meant to be a means of human communication at first; but the clearly the Net become a main piece of human communication.

Distance learning can be defined as education or training offered to participants at a different place, physically distant from the lecturer or sources of information. The difference in attitudes and knowledge of students about distance learning in relation to gender and year of studying was examined. The study sample included 371 students of the Faculty of Medicine in Niš (165 students were at the first year of studies and 206 students were at the sixth year of studies). Originally structured epidemiological questionnaire was distributed to students. Gender and age had no significant influence on students’ knowledge of distance learning. There was no statistically significant difference in taking positive attitudes about distance learning among medical students of the first and sixth year. Gender has statistically significantly affected the attitudes. E-learning does not eliminate the existing methods of learning, but it supplements them and greatly helps in teaching plans and prog...

The number of distance learning programmes offered by several American and European universities has been on the increase. This can be seen in the provision of appropriate courses by the graduate sections of universities taking part in this project. In Bulgaria, however, such an idea is yet to take off, in spite of the existence of computerised infrastructure and the accompanying library facilities, two necessary requirements for this project. Notwithstanding the dearth of this programme in Bulgaria, the Medical University of Varna has had, on a trial basis, successful telemedicine and teleconference video links with the Medical Faculty of the Aristotelian University of Thessaloniki, Greece. Subsequently, the Information Centre of the Medical University of Varna is currently involved in a series of activities such as video teleconferencing, preparation of interactive lectures and seminars, multimedia projections, and medical videotape projections for small groups of medical post-graduate students. Most importantly, the future of medical education in Bulgaria is predicated on a mix of sound economic background and the level of enthusiasm and commitment displayed by all stakeholders in this project.
Designing a Curriculum for Distance Learning Programs in Medical Informatics
1998
Medical Informatics is an emerging discipline that has been defined as the study, invention, and implementation of structures and algorithms to improve communications, understanding and management of medical information. The end objective of Medical Informatics is the coalescing of data, knowledge, and the tools necessary to apply that data and knowledge in the decision-making process, at the time and place that a medical decision needs to be made. The focus on the structures and algorithms necessary to manipulate the information separates Medical Informatics from other medical disciplines where information content is the focus. The purpose of this paper is to describe a distance learning program as developed at Texas Tech University for working adults with experience in the medical field. This paper also gives a brief overview of Medical Informatics Programs at other universities using the World Wide Web, and how the Distance Learning Program developed at Texas Tech differs. The proposed program leads to a graduate-level certificate or licenciate in Medical Informatics as offered via Distance Learning at Texas Tech University. Instruction modules, notes, learning guides, and assignments would be available on the Internet. "Chat" Internet Sessions would be held once a week at a time to be arranged. The certificate would be awarded after the completion of 6 courses and a project. This paper describes the curriculum and the individual courses designed for this new program, as well as the novelty of the program in relation to distance learning programs at other universities using the Internet or World Wide Web. The courses described below include a Preliminary Course in Information Technology and Facilities which is video-based with "Chat Sessions",

The use of information technology in teaching process has increased, especially in the last decade. Modern computer programs allow for the transfer of knowledge and access to a variety of educational information, and new ones technologies such as interactive e-learning manuals, multimedia content, Internet, contribute to more active involvement of students in the process teaching. Distance learning has not gone unnoticed and medicine. The purpose of the article is to reveal achievements and problems distance teaching of theoretical disciplines in Bukovynian State Medical University, already has been working with a distance learning server for more than 10 years "Moodle", which over the years of its existence constantly is improving. The novelty of the article is to find out the reasons popularity of the resource among students, because it is known that students-physicians are primarily trying to obtain information in Moodle. On the server there are: methodical materials fo...
