The online version of this product uses text- and photo-based materials to create role plays based on a series of cases designed to explore complex or controversial issues in medical ethics. This technique appears to be an effective workaround to the current internet limitations which precludes using full-motion, full-screen video as many CD or other non-Web-based products do.
