Abstract Text: In order to enhance a clinical psychology postgraduate course using WebCT at UNED (National University of Distance Education of Spain), we updated our bibliography system to include scientific and professional issues in clinical and health psychology. The main features of the system are: bibliography selection and summaries of the principal advances in clinical topics; direct access to the original selected bibliography; a self-evaluating system; and free access to several reference databases. The software was specificly developed for these objectives, and is an ASP application running in IIS, Windows 2000 Server using Oracle tables.
The software application is accessed through a WebCT platform, and has been running since 2001. As of today, three versions (2001, 2002 and 2003) have been finished. We'll present and evaluate data from this experience including academic and professional student profiles, subjects of interest, utility of the program, and a general evaluation of the process and integration in WebCT.
The system has a total of 540 clinical psychology users, 90% postgraduate and 10% graduate. The program is highly useful especially as it pertains to traditional clinical topics including anxiety, depression and other health issues like eating disorders, addictive behaviors, and Internet delivered treatments. The integration with the WebCT platform was positively perceived by the users.
The program: “Puestaldía en Psicología Clínica y de la Salud” (Update in Clinical and Health Psychology), is a course at UNED (http://www.uned.es/puestaldia), and received grants and accreditation from the Spanish Government's Education and Health Agencies. This program is included in the course “Master en Terapia de Conducta” in WebCT (http://virtual0.uned.es/uva/listado.htm).
