A new approach in ECG training is presented. The overall approach is based on a combination of the "page-turning architecture", the "reference model" and AI techniques. A thorough analysis of the training requirements in this field has been carried out; the results determined the educational scenarios and the associated evaluation sessions. The system (CARDIO-LOGOS) is intended to be used mainly by internal medicine physicians and general practitioners, as well as by medical students. The layered structure of the whole CBT application together with the advanced learning strategies and the interactive multimedia technology offer a flexible environment that encourages experimentation and supports individualised training for a wide variety of users.
