Abstract
This chapter introduces a special extension of the MEFANET e-publishing system devoted to all types of serious games produced and shared across the education network. Presented herein are four different case studies demonstrating the results of efforts in creating advanced teaching and learning tools based on simulations and combined with up-to-date pedagogical methods, such as problem-based learning.
Given that these case studies differ among themselves in many ways-either in a specific medical field or in technical or didactic processing-their descriptions in this chapter vary as well. AKUTNE.CZ interactive algorithms and SEPSIS-Q education scenarios- created at Masaryk University-are focused on the management of a wide range of acute patients and situations.
PEDKAZ is a database of linear clinical cases in paediatrics following the principles of evidence-based medicine. EKAZUISTIKY are virtual cases delivering branched learning objects focused on optimal diagnostic procedures.
The last case-study, HUMMOD-GOLEM, is focused on physiology modelling and explaining the history and the state- -of-the-art nature of integrative physiological modelling.
