WORK PACKAGE 4

DUISBURG-ESSEN MEDICAL UNIVERSITY, GERMANY

The piloting study is currently on-going and shortly will be analysed.

During the project, three project outcomes will be produced.

The first will be a combination of two reports:

1. The ‘Key factors for introducing mobile technology in practice-based learning’. This report includes an overview of the different models and theories in practice-based learning and a determination of the main factors for introducing mobile technology in practice-based learning.

The ‘Recommendations to guarantee the dissemination and introduction of mobile applications in higher education practices’. This report will include an overview of the diffusion and adoption of technological innovation and select the main key factors for introducing mobile applications in practical locations to move the innovation curve to the right side (from innovators and early adopters to early and late majority).

The design, development and testing of mobile applications are the focus of the second result of the project. The design and development of mobile learning applications will use co-design and co-creation methodologies and produce a digital toolbox to assist other interesting parties in the digitalization of practices.

The third outcome of the project will be the testing of mobile applications which will be carried out in a pilot study with participants (students, clinical mentors, academic teachers, and accepted parties) from Poland, Germany and Spain in three different hospitals. The results of the pilot study will be used to improve the design and development of mobile technology in an iterative phase and will allow the project to evaluate good practices and the knowledge base on the digitalization of learning in practice.

Impact on e-learning 

Therefore, the impact of the project aims to help European universities interested in introducing mobile applications in practices to design the best mobile application proposals based on the different actors involved (students, clinical and academic tutors, managers, etc.) different contexts (universities and internship centers).

In this sense, the project considers the exchange and mutual support of universities in terms of learning resources and support for health professionals through peer reviews.

The potential longer-term benefits will be related to improving communication and interaction processes in the digital age, strengthening the bridge between the different actors involved and promoting new forms of cooperation with the use of technology.
