A questionnaire survey of British medical schools requested information about school policy and resources and about departmental use of programs and computing hardware. Few schools were sufficiently involved in computer-assisted learning (CAL) to have a clear policy, nor were resources generally available for CAL development. However, at departmental level there was active development in many schools, particularly in preclinical departments. Hardware preference was for BBC micros, but IBM compatibles appear to be growing in popularity. Because of the huge development costs of CAL, collaboration between schools is seen as essential while financial resources are scarce.
一项针对英国医学院校的问卷调查，收集了有关学校政策与资源以及各部门对程序和计算机硬件使用情况的信息。很少有学校充分参与计算机辅助学习（CAL），以至于没有明确的政策，CAL开发所需的资源通常也难以获取。然而，在部门层面，许多学校都在积极开展相关工作，尤其是在临床前教学部门。硬件方面，大家更倾向于BBC微型计算机，但IBM兼容机似乎越来越受欢迎。由于CAL的开发成本巨大，在资金短缺的情况下，学校之间的合作被视为至关重要。
