Description

Comunicação apresentada na International Conference on Knowledge Engineering and Decision Support, 1, Porto, 2004. e-Learning in the health care area is becoming extremely popular. e-Learning implementations using holding portals has shown advantages in universities enabling them to implement expansion processes at reduced costs. Experts can launch new learning courses or even simple instructions for there students. Increase of productivity, efficiency and quality of service are the main challenges. Education and training in this context are strategic objectives. Simulation also plays a fundamental role in e-learning and information technology management. Simulation procedures should consequently be integrated in the portal’s functionalities. In this work we present an electronic system that enables the integration of highly heterogenic information into a coherent medical knowledge base in the context of an e-learning system oriented for the health care area.
