Any good educational system must be based on the fact that learning must be done by the learner. It must involve the student in the process and must always provide a high degree of flexibility and adaptation to individual needs. The autotutorial system (Postlethwait system) of instruction offers a multi-faceted, multi-sensory approach to learning. Seventeen students who had to undergo the module on cardiac disrythmias were placed in two groups. Six students did it by autotutorial learning while the rest received the contents in the traditional lecture-discussion method. Results show a difference in achievement between the two groups as well as the time used to realise the objectives.
