LEARNING OBJECTIVES To demonstrate the advantanges of distance learning for undergraduate and postgraduate students in medicine. To show a friendly teachers interface to manage medical courses. ABSTRACT At the University of Pisa, Faculty of Medicine, we developed a web based application, called "TestNet" for distance learning. TestNet was realized with Open Source J2EE technology and MySQL database server; it is an interactive system to share and deliver medical learning concepts. TestNet gives teachers the opportunity to create, customize and manage on-line courses providing e-learning resources, multimedia documents, quiz (multiple choices, drag & drop, fill the gaps), live lectures and live students support (individual on-line meeting with teachers). A section is reserved to manage in-door exams, providing students on-line exam submissions, and random quiz exams with real time full results. The students can access the platform by a common web browser. The exhibit will show the functionalities and the advantages of the system in real time.
