Summary
Objectives: In this paper we discuss solutions to the problem that medical teachers and students
do not use modern computer-assisted instruction systems in medical education as much
as expected by their developers.
Methods: As an example for a modern problem-based CAI system we introduce the CAMPUS shell
system for case-based training in medicine.
Results: CAMPUS has received several awards and positive evaluation results. Nevertheless,
the usage of such systems in courses and for self-study could be increased.
Conclusions: Curricular integration of CAI as well as further improvements on existing CAI systems
to increase the usage in medical education is essential.
