A framework for a tutorial for treatment planning in radiation oncology physics was developed, based on the University of Washington treatment planning system Prism. The tutorial is aimed at students in Medical Physics to accompany the lectures on treatment planning to enhance their theoretical knowledge. A web-based layout was chosen to allow independent work of the students. The tutorial guides the students through three different learning modules, designed mainly to enhance their understanding of the processes involved in treatment planning but also to learn the specific features of a modern treatment planning system. Each of the modules contains four units, with the aim to introduce the relevant Prism features, practice skills in different tasks and finally check the learning outcomes with a challenge and a self-scoring quiz. A survey for students' feedback completes the tutorial. Various tools and learning methods help to create an interactive, appealing learning environment, in which the emphasis is shifted from teacher-centred to student-centred learning paradigms. In summary, Prism lends itself well for educational purposes. The tutorial covers all main aspects of treatment planning. In its current form the tutorial is self-contained but still adjustable and expandable. The tutorial can be made available upon request to the authors.
基于华盛顿大学的治疗计划系统Prism，开发了一个放射肿瘤物理学治疗计划教程框架。该教程针对医学物理专业的学生，配合治疗计划课程，以增强他们的理论知识。选择了基于网络的布局，以便学生能够独立学习。该教程引导学生通过三个不同的学习模块，主要目的是增强他们对治疗计划所涉及过程的理解，同时也学习现代治疗计划系统的具体特性。每个模块包含四个单元，旨在介绍Prism的相关特性，练习不同任务中的技能，最后通过挑战和自我评分测验来检验学习成果。一项学生反馈调查完善了该教程。各种工具和学习方法有助于创建一个互动、吸引人的学习环境，其中重点从以教师为中心的学习范式转变为以学生为中心的学习范式。总之，Prism非常适合用于教育目的。该教程涵盖了治疗计划的所有主要方面。以目前的形式，该教程自成体系，但仍可调整和扩展。如有需要，可向作者索取该教程。
