Abstract:
In collaborative clinical learning field, several recent pertinent studies showed that gathering learners with
their tutor still insufficient to improve students' learning quality and knowledge acquisition. Consequently,
focusing attention on professional skills within a collaboration environment seems to be the most
appropriate way to reach the wished learning objectives, particularly in a complex specialty such as medical
diagnosis learning. In this paper, we firstly introduce the concept of medical diagnosis from cognitive
studies view that have been performed in the field of medical education. Then, we will discuss our shared
web environment designed to support distance diagnosis learning, which aims to promote knowledge coconstruction
and collaboration between learners.
