EDIT is short for Educational Development using Information Technology. The EDIT project was initiated by the Faculty of Health Sciences at Linköping University. The aim was to develop web-based scenarios for problem-based learning (PBL). Patient case studies and other medical problems or situations are illustrated by using realistic texts and multimedia, e.g. pictures and short films. Since the project started in 2001, EDIT-scenarios have been developed for six undergraduate programmes. The project covers two years of the medical programme. The use of multimedia has introduced new possibilities to challenge students' thinking by stimulating more senses. The different parts of a scenario are designed to raise questions without providing answers. Both students and tutors have perceived EDIT-scenarios as more motivating and interesting than the case studies on paper previously used. EDIT has contributed to improving and updating PBL-scenarios. This process has helped vitalise the discussions about pedagogical issues. For students as well as teachers, the project has lead to increased general familiarity with IT. In this paper, the project concept, practical aspects of the implementation, and pedagogical outcomes are discussed.
EDIT是“利用信息技术促进教育发展”（Educational Development using Information Technology）的缩写。EDIT项目由林雪平大学健康科学学院发起。其目的是为基于问题的学习（PBL）开发基于网络的情景。通过使用写实文本和多媒体（如图画和短片）来说明患者案例研究以及其他医学问题或情况。自2001年该项目启动以来，已为六个本科课程开发了EDIT情景。该项目涵盖医学课程的两年内容。多媒体的使用带来了新的可能性，通过刺激更多感官来挑战学生的思维。一个情景的不同部分旨在提出问题而不提供答案。学生和导师都认为EDIT情景比以前使用的纸质案例研究更具激励性和趣味性。EDIT有助于改进和更新PBL情景。这一过程有助于激发关于教学问题的讨论。对于学生和教师而言，该项目提高了他们对信息技术的总体熟悉程度。本文将讨论该项目的概念、实施的实际情况以及教学成果。
