The school was awarded a grant to develop two continuing professional development courses in online format (eCPD) and lay the bases for a virtual learning environment to deliver these eCPD courses with a limited amount of faculty support. // The courses designed for online distance learning, were constructed, archived and delivered using a browser-based proprietary Learning Content Management System (LCMS) called ForceTen. The force driving this system is object technology with metadata based on the SCORM standard to describe the elements of content supported by a reformulated Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) taxonomy to catalogue the entire database. Attention has been allocated to the reusability issues derived from object technology implementation. // The Travel Medicine course contains sections on operating a travel clinic, communication skills, vaccines and immunisation, and all aspects of malaria problems while travelling. It is constructed to provide a degree of clinical relevance. Content creation was handle by a team of experts assemble to manage the different modules of the course. // This paper describes the experience gathered in this process focusing on the delivering mechanism and the methodology used for the development of the eCPD courses, paying special attention to the reusability issues derived from object technology implementation. // Paper ID 334enhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/Working Paper
