An experiment of a tele-educational system using the Internet for undergraduates and postgraduates at a medical school.

利用互联网对医学院本科生和研究生进行了远程教育系统的实验。成果总结如下：(1)开展了电子邮件教育，使学生了解互联网。内容包括电子邮件、电子新闻、文件传输、访问远程计算机的能力。在项目期间，这一教育系统的参与者人数为400人。目前，东海大学医学部邮件服务器的用户为492人。因此，大约81%的邮件服务器用户接受了电子邮件教育。(2)构建了匿名ftp(文件传输协议)服务器，提供适合我们在医学教育中使用的文件和程序。目前，自该服务开通以来，已传输了1865个文件。(3)建立了万维网(WWW，http：超文本传输协议)服务器，用于提供包括文本和医学图像的教学文件，如CT、MRI、US、X光图像。目前，该服务器包括21个与核医学有关的教学文件(病历、图像、发现说明、诊断和评论)、一份临终关怀手册、一份儿童腹股沟疝气治疗文件、上述通过电子邮件进行教育的文件等。目前，该服务开通以来的阅读量为38979页。没有日本的国家有38个。互联网，特别是万维网，将成为远程医学教育系统的有用工具。这里描述的服务器的URL(统一资源定位符)如下：http：//mfs。地中海医院。U-Tokai。交流电。Jp和ftp：//mfs。地中海医院。U-Tokai。交流电。JP/。

An experiment of a tele-educational system using the Internet is performed for undergraduates and postgraduates at the School of Medicine. A summary of the results is as follows ;(1) Education by electronic mail has been performed to give a understanding of the Internet. The contents include electronic mail, electronic news, transfer of files, the ability to access to a remote computer. The number of participants of this educational system has been 400 persons during the term of the project. Currently, the users of the mail server at the school of Medicine Tokai University are 492. Therefore, about 81 percent of the users of the mail server has received education by electronic mail.(2) An anonymous ftp (File Transfer Protocol) server has been built to provide files and programs suitable for us in medical education. Currently, 1,865 files have been transferred from opening of the service.(3) A World-Wide-Web (WWW, http : Hyper Text Transfer Protocol) server has been built for provide teaching files that include both text and medical images such as CT, MRI, US, X-ray images. Currently, this server includes teaching file 21 cases (patient history, images, description of findings, diagnosis and comments) related to nuclear medicine, a terminal care manual, a document for treatment of the inguinal hernia in childhood, the documents used in education by electronic email described above and so on. Currently, 38, 979 pages have been read from opening of the service. The number of countries is 38 without Japan.The Internet and particularly the WWW will be becoming a useful tool for a tele-educational system of medical education.
