近年来，计算机辅助学习（CAL）在医学教育中的应用有了相当大的增长。CAL有许多吸引人的教育特点，计算机模拟已被证明可以改善卫生专业教育的学习。本文描述了在第三年眼科实习中使用的多媒体CAL模拟的形成性评估。CAL程序结合了麦金塔电脑和人体模型头部的使用，内置两个电机驱动的相机膜片，模拟瞳孔反应。这可以让学生练习“摆动手电筒测试”，这是一项重要的临床检查，通常用于检测视觉功能障碍。本研究涉及五个问题，并描述形成性评估过程。然后提出了非常积极的结果，提出了改进建议，并对未来的发展提出了影响。
The use of computer-aided learning (CAL) in medical education has grown considerably in recent years. CAL has a number of attractive educational features, and computer simulations have been shown to improve learning in health professions education. This paper describes the formative evaluation of a multimedia CAL simulation used in a third year ophthalmology clerkship. The CAL program combines the use of a Macintosh computer with a mannequin head, housing two motor driven camera diaphragms which simulate pupil response. This allows students to practice the "swinging flashlight test", an important clinical exam commonly used to detect visual dysfunction. Five questions are addressed in this study and the formative evaluation process is described. The highly positive results are then presented, with suggestions given for improvement followed by implications for future development.
