Abstract

This work is focused on using the huge amount of medical cases available in medical digital collections to support specific radiology training courses, particularly addressed to medical residents. Such support is based on retrieving information items from these extant digital collections and generating instructional resources that can be deployed in the resident training context. The key element for this information management is a tool called Clavy, which retrieves pieces of content in medical collections and allows hospital tutors to generate educational resources easily under standard specifications and work with them in the most popular e-learning platforms. An example of a radiology course was implemented in Moodle to demonstrate the Clavy approach to the generation of training resources and their use in e-Learning platforms.
