General dental practitioners (GDPs) in the UK may wish additional education on relevant aspects of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) disease. The aim of the present study was to develop and assess a computer assisted learning package on the oral manifestations of HIV disease of relevance to GDPs. A package was developed using a commercially-available software development tool and assessed by a group of 75 GDPs interested in education and computers. Fifty-four (72%) of the GDPs completed a self-administered questionnaire of their opinions of the package. The majority reported the package to be easy to load and run, that it provided clear instructions and displays, and that it was a more effective educational tool than videotapes, audiotapes, professional journals and textbooks, and of similar benefit as post-graduate courses. The GDPs often commented favourably on the effectiveness of the clinical images and use of questions and answers, although some had criticisms of these and other aspects of the package. As a consequence of this investigation the package has been modified and distributed to GDPs in England and Wales.
英国的普通牙科医生（GDPs）可能希望接受关于人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）疾病相关方面的额外教育。本研究的目的是开发并评估一个针对GDPs的、与HIV疾病口腔表现相关的计算机辅助学习软件包。该软件包使用市售软件开发工具进行开发，并由一组75名对教育和计算机感兴趣的GDPs进行评估。其中54名（72%）GDPs完成了一份关于他们对该软件包看法的自填式问卷。大多数人报告称该软件包易于加载和运行，提供清晰的说明和展示，并且是比录像带、录音带、专业期刊和教科书更有效的教育工具，与研究生课程具有相似的益处。GDPs经常对临床图像的有效性以及问答的使用给予好评，尽管有些人对该软件包的这些及其他方面提出了批评。基于此次调查，该软件包已进行修改并分发给英格兰和威尔士的GDPs。
