Abstract

This paper describes an innovative component of an e-learning platform targeted at second language training of medical professionals. This component provides interactive video learning material in three European languages: English, German and Spanish. The implemented prototype integrates storytelling technology with NLP and dynamic web engineering. Starting by the automatic annotation of relevant vocabulary and concepts in the domain of healthcare, our e-learning component associates the videos with external open domain resources, such as thesauri and specialized dictionaries thereby providing a comprehensive infrastructure supplying medical professionals with a situated learning environment as well as with open domain look-up and information retrieval facilities in three languages.
