CONNECT project focuses on issues of eHealth innovation, state-of-the-art training and education of students necessary on the health market, in the form of a highly-and-systematically organized formal and non-formal educational program to improve knowledge, develop cross-sectoral skills and competencies, entrepreneurship and support students’ critical thinking required to improve health care.
Our project addresses actions that promote innovative pedagogies and methods for teaching, learning, and assessment and supports educators and learners to use digital technologies in creative, collaborative, and efficient ways.
The development of the eHealth Community of Practice online platform and an eHealth Interdisciplinary Curriculum will upskill students with new and open access to innovative techniques and materials. It will provide practical knowledge and inspiration so that learners will know how to deliver future innovation. These activities will address the horizontal priority of “Open and innovative practices in a digital area” and higher education priority of “Tackling skills gaps and mismatches.”
This is a new digital education initiative and it is first and foremost a student success program.
It aims to foster:
- Equitable access to a common technology and support
- Connection and collaboration between students, beyond the classroom
- Career readiness and digital literacy and workforce skills
Through these means, the program can remove barriers to academic success. The opportunity to develop tool fluency and new technology skills serves students not only throughout their academic careers but into their future professional lives as well.
