RODRIGUEZ CACERES, Alexis Oriol et al. Medcampus: un proyecto de plataforma para la educación a distancia. ACIMED [online]. 2004, vol.12, n.3, pp. 1-1. ISSN 1024-9435.

During the last decade, Cuba has encouraged the implementation of an extensive infomatization program in all fields of society. In this sense, the public health field has received a special support and within it the universities occupy a prominent place. As part of this effort, there is an urgent need for putting into practice a distance education system in medical universities all over the country. Aimed at identifying a platform able to support the distance education, a literature review on this topic was carried out at "Mariana Grajales" Faculty of Medical Sciences, in Holguín. The limitations found in the platforms analyzed, according to the technical and pedagogic requirements of the health sector in Cuba, suggested the creation of an own platform. Once the ruling principles were established, its structure was conceived and the working groups were organized, it was created the infostructure of each of the system modules, mainly, management, secretariat, library, services, professors, students and accessories. The development of an own platform for distance education would allow to support the teaching activities for under- and post graduate courses at all levels of the National Public Health System.
