Abstract :
The Urological Clinical Tutor (UCT) is a tutorial catalyst for use by medical students and surgeons. It is designed with two goals in mind. For the students, it encourages discovery learning and peer group discussion. For the teacher, it empowers him/her to conduct tutorial sessions by exploiting current technologies. UCT serves to enhance investigatory problem solving skills in urology by allowing students to interact with a knowledge base containing classical descriptions of urological diseases. This paper describes the design of UCT and its effectiveness in group learning
