Aims and description: Users / Students will at the end of the course be able to perform study critiques and to evaluate study-design to address specific research questions. In contrast to a textbook or lectures the questions in this blended learning course are answered individually and feedback will be given through a virtual tutor. In this manner wrong answers are commented on with a hint leading to the right answer or an indication to repeat a certain chapter. Different kinds of games and short video sequences giving word to some famous epidemiologists increase users’ motivation and their interest in Epidemiology. Each Module also contain different exercises, mnemonic sentences and the respective learning objectives. In addition, the course offers a glossary, links to important data sources and literature lists. This e-learning course can be used independently of visiting lectures or group-discussions; however it will be implemented into many university and SSPH+ and other MAS programs. The Modules result from teamwork with specialists in Epidemiology from different Universities – thereby a widespread use of the course is guaranteed. As a French version appears parallel with the German one the University of Lausanne plays an important role in this project.
