The development of teaching tools for medical translation (WebCT, NTIC)

The obstacles encountered in teaching both medical language and medical translation are two-pronged. On the one hand, the students' background knowledge in both translation and the healthcare field is very varied. On the other hand, professional medical translation is very demanding. This article focuses on the development of didactic material using WebCT. This computerized material is meant to enhance teaching and learning, but not to replace traditional classroom work, and also to stimulate the progress of each student individually in real-life professional situations.
