Occupational health is a global issue. Therefore, the main aim of the
project NetWoRM (Net-based training for Work-related Medicine) is to
set-up an international case-based e-learning curriculum for
occupational medicine (OM) which completes and enhances traditional
train-ing in this content domain. In order to improve teaching in OM,
web-based cases have been created and implemented at the University of
Munich since 1999. Target groups are pre- and postgraduate medical
students, as well as physicians in CME. Additionally, occupational
health nurses, health and safety inspectors, company physicians and
recently pupils in secondary education are tar-geted. The integration
strategies differ depending on the needs each target group. As it does
not seem useful to build up disconnected teaching modules for OM in
each coun-try, the project has been further developed with a view on an
international base in Europe, North- and South Africa. For case
creation, CASUS (Instruct AG), an online e-learning plat-form for
creating, distributing and evaluating cases, is used. Lectures in case
creation, di-dactical aspects and in integration into the curriculum
completed the training of the Net-WoRM partners. By now a total of 60
cases in eight languages are available. The project strengthens the
international dimension in education at all levels and facilitate wide
trans-national access to educational resources worldwide, promoting
equal opportuni-ties throughout education. At the same time it
increases co-operation and mobility in the field of education, in
particular by encouraging and fostering exchanges between educational
institutions, promoting open and distance learning. Long-term
sustainability is the current stage of the project including the
development of successful business models.
