MOODLE, LECTURIO, AMBOSS, GOOGLE FORMS, KAHOOT, AND CYBERPATIENT IN MEDICAL EDUCATION: OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES

Abstract

The integration of digital platforms in medical education has redefined traditional learning approaches and introduced dynamic methods for delivering content, assessing student performance, and developing clinical competencies. This article provides a detailed analysis of six widely used platforms—Moodle, Lecturio, AMBOSS, Google Forms, Kahoot, and CyberPatient—evaluating their functionalities, advantages, and limitations in the context of medical instruction. Each platform serves unique roles in theoretical education, formative assessment, or clinical scenario simulation. The paper highlights how combining these tools enhances student engagement, promotes self-directed learning, and supports competency-based training. Despite the advantages, challenges such as technological infrastructure, academic integrity, and educator adaptation remain critical. The study concludes that a hybrid and goal-oriented use of platforms can significantly improve teaching quality and learning outcomes in modern medical education.
