Project Summary

The importance of modern technologies in today’s medicine can hardly be overestimated. But not all students, health care professionals and physicians have direct access to expensive medical equipment or the opportunity to experience the equipment and capabilities specific to their field. The goal of this Erasmus+ project is to develop and establish a framework for the multilingual use of learning management system modules in order to make knowledge about this technologies accessible to students or medical professionals with different requirements and prerequisites. These blended learning pilots can not only be used internationally in higher education, but also offer a high potential for further education and training independent of location and time, also outside of colleges and universities. In cooperation with physicians, medical technicians and didacticians, modules or module contents can be implemented as e-learning units and made available across national and language borders. The courses are structured as self-learning units in such a way that, in addition to the preparation of theoretical inputs, various elements for activation, knowledge transfer and securing results are incorporated. The content is implemented in a learning management system so that participants only need Internet access and a login to their respective system. Higher education institutions can integrate these learning units into teaching or use them for professional development programs. The Covid-19 pandemic is creating a huge push for blended/e-learning systems. Due to the high technical and time-consuming effort required to create such content, the use of synergies – even across national borders – is highly desirable. In this Erasmus+ project, commonalities in the offers between the partners are to be identified and subsequently made available to all project universities jointly in at least 3 pilot projects. In e-learning units, participants can not only learn in a self-determined way, but the contents can also be adapted to heterogeneous groups and thus be brought to a uniform basis of basic knowledge on which the learning objectives can then be built.
