Development of a Research-Based Teaching Course as Blended-Learning Format in a Medical Informatics Program.

Abstract

We consider Medical Informatics programs at universities as one of the main education resources for young scientists in our field and thus present a new design for a course teaching scientific skill at the University of Heidelberg as blended-learning format. We utilize common E-learning methods and created the whole course with respect to the concept of research-based teaching. Finally, we present our lessons learned from the current activities of the course.
