To understand the process of medical interviewing with patients, skill-based education should be stressedin teaching medical communication. The purpose of this study is to develop a educational aid tool whichcan make various educational materials (audio-vidual, textual, and presentation materials) organized veryeasily and used effectively in medical communication education. In this study we designed GUI by usingSWT (Standard Widget Kit) for the sake of convenient use of the educational software tool. This softwarecan be used in all the systems supporting Java of PC or UNIX systems, and prompt use of GUI can bepossible. The educational software tool can make educational contents presented according to the processof teaching (introduction, main course, and conclusion). In the introduction stage, objectives of learning, planof lesson, and educational materials to facilitate students' participation are presented. In the main coursecore contents of learning according to the subjects, audio-vidual clips to facilitate teaching, and educationalmaterials for the students to participate in experiences are presented. In the conclusion part, summary ofthe lesson, brief quiz to help the students memorize the core knowledge are presented. The developededucational software tool in this study can be used as a medium for the sake of effective progress of lessonin medical communication teaching. And it can facilitate collaboration of teachers for developing educationalmaterials, and also make possible the development of faculties who will take charge of medicalcommunication teaching.
