A French epidemiology graduate course is now available on the net.
The course has been set up at the University of Montreal on the WebCT
platform.

The course uses several of the course tools available on the WebCT platform,
namely a glossary, a course index, a lexicon of epidemiologic terms, an
epidemiology dictionary, a chat, a course mailing list, intranet mail
for enlisted students, public-health scoops for discussion purposes, a
search engine, a calendar of forthcoming events, a set of images of the
abstracts of the referenced papers, exercices to be picked up, submitted
as well as corrected on the web..., the possibility for students to
follow up their grades along the trimester, a link to EPIDEMIO-L
relevant discussions, a FAQ, a few sound and video clips, a list of
major epidemiology and public-health web sites, epidemiologic games,
original datasets, highlights of major statistical issues, etc. Each
written lecture (14 in all) contains multiple hyperlinks  opening up on
commented graphs or tables. All the course content can be downloaded on
personal computers.

The course is currently offered to the University of Montreal students.
I expect that, starting in September 2001, the course will be available
to Quebec students as well as to the international French-speaking
community involving mainly Europe and Africa.

Anyone interested in more details about the course can get in touch with
me at the email address below. For the time being, all the information
about the course is solely written in the French language.
