4D in the digitalization of learning in practice placement
Objectives
The 4D project aims to introduce mobile technology in practice placements, creating a bridge between the different actors involved learning contexts to foster the best experience in practice-based learning in healthcare settings.
The 4D project aims to address this goal by implementing the five main objectives.
Determine the key factors (practice-based learning models) and the key elements (diffusion of innovation theories) to introduce mobile technology in practice placements.
Co-Design a mobile learning application (app) for successful adoption of mobile technology in practice- based learning reflecting users’ core values and needs
Introduce Digitalization and train the participating institutions through workshops and providing tutorials.
Pilot and assess the use of mobile learning in practice placements in healthcare higher education in three different countries in Europe.
Disseminate the project findings as a inclusive approach to exchange and support the practice placement digitalization around universities EU Countries.
Outcomes
The main results of the 4D project can be divided threefold:
Determinants to introduce mobile technology in practice placement
Evaluation and good practices on introducing technology in practice placement
Design and implementation of a mobile learning application in practice-based learning
