Recent medical education trends encourage the use of teaching strategies that emphasize student centeredness and self-learning. In this context, the use of new educative technologies is stimulated at the Faculty of Medicine of Eduardo Mondlane University (FMUEM) in Mozambique. The Faculty of Medicine of University of Porto (FMUP) and FMUEM have a long-lasting record of collaborative work. Within this framework, both institutions embarked in a partnership, aimed to develop a blended learning course of pathology for undergraduates, shared between the two faculties and incorporating interactive digital microscopy as a central learning tool.
A core team of faculty members from both institutions identified the existing resources and previous experiences in the two faculties. The Moodle course for students from the University of Porto was the basis to implement the current project. The objective was to develop educational modules of mutual interest, designed for e-learning, followed by a voluntary student's survey conducted in FMUEM to get their perception about the process.
We selected contents from the pathology curricula of FMUP and FMUEM that were of mutual interest. We next identified and produced new contents for the shared curricula. The implementation involved joint collaboration and training to prepare the new contents, together with building quizzes for self-evaluation. All the practical sessions were based on the use of interactive digital microscopy. The students have reacted enthusiastically to the incorporation of the online component that increased their performance and motivation for pathology learning. For the students in Porto, the major acquisition was the access to slides from infectious diseases as well as autopsy videos.
Our study indicates that students benefited from high-quality educational contents, with emphasis on digital microscopy, in a platform generated in a win-win situation for FMUP and FMUEM.
近期医学教育趋势鼓励采用强调以学生为中心和自主学习的教学策略。在此背景下，莫桑比克爱德华多·蒙德拉内大学医学院（FMUEM）积极推动新教育技术的应用。波尔图大学医学院（FMUP）与FMUEM有着长期的合作记录。在此框架内，两所院校建立了伙伴关系，旨在为本科生开发一门病理学混合学习课程，供两校共享，并将交互式数字显微镜作为核心学习工具。
来自两所院校的核心教师团队梳理了两校现有的资源和以往的经验。以波尔图大学面向学生的Moodle课程为基础来实施当前项目。目标是开发双方共同感兴趣的教育模块用于电子学习，随后在FMUEM对学生进行了一项自愿调查，以了解他们对该过程的看法。
我们从FMUP和FMUEM病理学课程中选取了双方共同感兴趣的内容。接下来，我们为共享课程确定并制作了新内容。实施过程包括联合协作与培训以准备新内容，同时编制用于自我评估的测验。所有实践课程均基于交互式数字显微镜的使用。学生们对纳入在线部分反应热烈，这提高了他们学习病理学的表现和积极性。对于波尔图的学生来说，主要收获是能够获取传染病幻灯片以及尸检视频。
我们的研究表明，在为FMUP和FMUEM创造双赢局面的平台上，学生受益于高质量的教育内容，尤其是强调数字显微镜的内容。
