This paper reviews the available e-learning applications used in teaching medicine and presents the functionalities of the Web application developed to support classes conducted with the problem-based learning (PBL) method. The application is a form of e-learning platform that allows posting as well as archiving content stored during PBL sessions; it is made up of three modules: the administration module, the teacher module, and the student module. The presented Web application is flexible in operation; it allows designing the number of groups and PBL sessions. The user, apart from using the system during PBL sessions, can access it at any place and time to supplement and update the content. The materials collected during individual PBL sessions constitute sets of content unique for each group because the learning objectives are different for them. With this approach, students can study considerably larger batches of material than it would be possible during classes conducted with other methods.
