Within a research project whose aim is to promote the learning of percutaneous operation in orthopedic surgery we design a Technological Enhanced Learning (TEL) system. This project belongs to a multidisciplinary field including computer, orthopedic surgery, medical imaging, didactic and cognitive sciences. The article presents the design principles of TEL with a particular interest in the development of a simulator. This simulator allows a virtual exercise interacting with the learner in visual, temporal and haptic dimension.
