SIMUportfolio: Complex All-in-One web-Based Platform Enhancing Medical Education

Education support using software tools is very popular nowadays. Software tools can be used to meet a variety of needs such as the development, administration and sharing of teaching materials or the management and implementation of exams. SIMUportfolio, an integrative platform being developed at the Faculty of Medicine of the Masaryk University, endeavours to provide all of these functionalities, in the form of modules, to its users. SIMUportfolio users, i.e. students, teachers and faculty management, can use this online platform to obtain information about specific study programmes. Each user has access to contents just relevant to his/her role at the faculty. The platform can serve as a support for students and as a tool for the definition of comprehensive teaching blocks by teachers. SIMUportfolio is being developed in accordance with agile methodologies which make it possible to respond quickly to current needs of the faculty.
