Online assessment tools


 * A webOSCE system for assessing clinical skills via teleconference, using the internet and videoconferencing facilities, there are the same staged clinical examinations held at several centres simultaneously. They reported technical difficulties with the system and students found lack of direct contact with the patients difficult.
 * Another method is the “Primium© Simulations” in which students navigate through a clinical scenario on their computers, that is cued only by evolving facts. Students are are scored on their choices of testing and therapy, and the assessor attempts to determine the clinical reasoning ability of candidates.  (1)
