Abstract
An online tutorial was created using Adobe Captivate software to supplement traditional teaching of scientific literature searching skills to postgraduate medical genetics students. The use of this tool was evaluated and while no statistically significant differences were found between students taught in different ways, the student response to the online programme was very positive. A major difficulty noted by several students related to the ability to select appropriate articles from the plethora of available literature. In the future more emphasis will be placed on selecting papers as well as combining the computer and traditional teaching approaches.
