Resumen

AVILA CRUZ, Victor Rolando. The e-mail and its optimal use in the search for information: five years of experience. ACIMED [online]. 2005, vol.13, n.5, pp. 1-1. ISSN 1024-9435.

Distance education has attained a remarkable advance due to the fast evolution of the new information and communication technologies that make possible to reach large masses of students, to shorten the distances between the professor and the students and among the students themselves. The Health Information Network (Infomed) and the creation of the Health Virtual University (UVS) opened the doors to this new teaching modality in the branch of Public Health. Since 2000, "Mariana Grajales Coello" Faculty of Medical Sciences of Holguín, offers the virtual course entitled "The e-mail and its optimum use in the search for information", with massive registrations and a minimum use of human and material resources. The basic elements a virtual course is composed of, the results of the different versions of the course, according to the permanence of the student by topic, the fundamental causes of abandonment, as well as the main difficulties and achievements obtained are analyzed in this paper.

Palabras clave : Distance education; electronic mail; virtual course.
