SEGURA BADIA, Helena. The new technologies and the distance continuing medical education. Educ. méd. [online]. 2006, vol.9, n.3, pp.22-30. ISSN 1575-1813.

The advantages and disadvantages of the distance CME are considered, analyzing the three fundamental typologies: contents' offer (traditional approach,), contents' management (traditional approach plus new technologies) and "on-line" offer (learning processes and communication). Among the elements related to the quality of the distance CME programmes one can identify the following three essentials: technology, methodology and evaluation. Technology's elements include the platforms, standards and programme's structure. The tutors, contents' design, communication systems and tools to generate activities are the fundamental elements of the methodologies. Finally, among the evaluation one can identify the different procedures aimed to assess the contents, the learning and the practice (performance).

Keywords : Distance CME; new educational technologies; e-learning.
