Medical teaching at the University of Sydney has moved from a
six year undergraduate program based on a traditional didactic
teaching model to a four year graduate program based on problem
based learning principals which integrates clinical experience
from the very beginning [HREF 1].
Information technology and informatics have been deeply embedded
into the new program by delivering the majority of the teaching
and learning resources to support student centred learning over
a Faculty wide intranet. This system has also been exploited for
the development of the curriculum, coordinating the contributions
of more than 400 members of Faculty using email and digital document
management based around Web server publication. A number of evaluation
projects are also being developed which examine how the resources
are utilized to support learning and the subsequent learning outcomes.
