[Development of a Rehab-Wiki for rehabilitation-Related Educational Materials Assigned to Competence-Based Learning Objectives].

PURPOSE: For adequate rehabilitative care, it is indispensable to impart appropriate competences in medical education based on learning objectives. In addition to the "National Competence-Based Learning Objectives Catalogue for Medicine (NKLM)", a competence-based learning objectives catalogue for the field of rehabilitation in the interdisciplinary subject "Rehabilitation, Physical Medicine, Naturopathy" (RPMN) was recently presented. These learning objectives were to be assigned to a wide variety of teaching materials of different media types and made easily accessible to university lecturers in a free online database. The database should also contain flexible teaching and learning modules as well as information on didactic methods.

METHODS: Teaching materials from six university locations were assigned to the rehabilitation-related learning objective sections of the competence-based learning objective catalogue for RPMN and the NKLM. Presentation slides and text-based material were integrated in PDF-format. Educational films were embedded in a non-public channel on the video platform "YouTube". As a result, they could be referenced in the online database designed as a MediaWiki.

RESULTS: The contents of this "rehab-wiki" (www.rehawiki.uni-halle.de) were structured using four thematic portals: The "Teaching and Learning Objectives Portal" contains the competence-based learning objectives and keywords for the content to be taught along with links to suitable didactic methods and available teaching materials. The "Teaching and Learning Methods Portal" contains didactic methods with detailed instructions. In the "Teaching Materials Portal" the teaching materials are grouped according to media type and the "Glossary" portal contains definitions and links to important rehabilitation medicine terms based on the "Social Medicine Glossary" published by the Federal German Pension Insurance. Just 6 months after implementation and presentation of the platform at a congress, 53 interdisciplinary users with teaching positions at German universities have registered.

CONCLUSIONS: The "rehab-wiki" provides an intuitive online database. It contains teaching materials of various media types, which are assigned to competence-based learning objective sections, and suitable didactic methods. Teachers are supported in designing learning goal-oriented, didactically advanced and appealing rehabilitation courses. The MediaWiki-system enables constant further development by the teaching community requiring low long-term supervision effort. The "rehab-wiki" also offers a starting-point for continuing education and advanced training as well as for other occupational groups involved in rehabilitation.
