摘要
In recent years, there has been a growing interest about new techniques for information exchange in medical context. Academic communities need a collaborative portal with a certain degree of interactivity between speaker and audience to provide new learning opportunities. The objective of the research is, therefore, addressed to provide a modular and user-friendly web portal that allows scientific information exchange and takes into account only the centrality of four essential elements: teachers, learners, learning-process and learning-content. This collaborative system contains also 3D learning objects to simulate highly interactive virtual laboratories. The collaborative portal is designed to provide an acceptable teaching tool to integrate face-to-face learning sessions with thematic web-seminars. © Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2014.
