Resumen
[EN]In recent years, computer application development
has experienced exponential growth, not only in the number
of publications but also in the scope or contexts that have
benefited from its use. In health science training, and medicine
specifically, the gradual incorporation of technological devel opments has transformed the teaching and learning process,
resulting in true Beducational technology^. The goal of this
paper is to review the main features involved in these appli cations and highlight the main lines of research for the future.
The results of peer reviewed literature published recently in dicate the following features shared by the key technological
developments in the field of health science education: first,
development of simulation and visualization systems for a
more complete and realistic representation of learning material
over traditional paper format; second, portability and versatil ity of the applications, adapted for an increasing number of
devices and operative systems; third, increasing focus on open
source applications such as Massive Open Online Course
(MOOC).
