• In order to foster the use of the Internet by our medical students, we devised a virtual test to be taken by the whole class during the Hematology-Oncology course given in the third year. Through a specially designed home page in the Internet students were asked questions regarding their personal characteristics, knowledge of basic Internet skills and were also given a short virtual course on line on the use of the Internet. We noted that only 53% of our students had used the Internet before. The use of the Internet was correlated with having more members of the household accessing the net (p < 0.001) but not with the student's sex, age or family income. Most of the students reacted favourably to this educational experience through which about half of them got acquainted with the use of the Internet for the first time.
