Abstract:

Introduction:
The classical strategies of teaching and learning can no longer cope with the increasing amount of knowledge, the increasing number of students at a stable or declining amount of resources. Blended learning in the converted/flipped classroom concept combined with artificial intelligence based adaptive learning offer new perspectives to overcome these difficulties.

Materials and methods:
DOIT (Dermatology Online with Interactive Technology: www.cyberderm.net ; see blue Demo-button on the platform in the upper right corner or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFCQnM2JKEM&t=6s) is a free of charge, multilingual (7), interactive, entertaining e-learning platform. It is authored and regularly revised by 30 renowned teachers from 11 European countries. Primarily DOIT is designed for undergraduate students, but the platform is also used by postgraduate, non-dermatology specialists and general practitioners. DOIT provides an abundantly illustrated, didactic guide to a physiologic, stepwise learning and training Dermatology with feedback.
A new concept is presented for switching from classisal teaching and learning format to a structured interactive format, which considers the individual background of the heterogenous group of students, using Audience Response System (ARS).

Results and Discussion:
The concept has been approved by the Erasmus+ project of the European Dermatology Forum (EDF; https://www.edf.one/en/ ) for harmonizing teaching and learning Dermatology (hEduLearnIt; https://www.hedulearnit.org/ ). It aims to shape the future of teaching and learning Dermatology in Europe and abroad.
