ERASMUS + (KA220-VET)
Assessment in Healthcare EducAtion goes Digital (AHEAD)
AHEAD is EU funded project submitted within Erasmus + Cooperation partnerships in vocational education and training (KA220-VET) programme in the field of healthcare education across four countries, namely, Ireland (Lead), Germany, Georgia and Poland. Project aims at:
- Engaging participants and encourage them to become involved in the transformation towards digital healthcare assessment
- Fostering digital assessment that is in-line with ongoing Higher and VET education and EU Digital Education agendas
- Addressing knowledge and skills gaps, hopes and concerns of teachers and learners, and develop their capabilities in the area of digital assessment
- Developing video-based self-assessment and peer assessment by means of innovative technologies (AI) and software,
- Rewarding learning by means of open source digital badges / micro-credentialing.
Project Results:
- Involving participants from each partner institution in co-creation workshops and surveys to develop insights into teachers' and learners' digital transformation needs.
- A competency framework for teachers and learners in health care education in the field of digital assessment to be developed.
- Micro-learning units will enhance teacher-and learner competencies and assist in the integration of digital assessments in their teaching and learning practice.
- Developed a digital rubric and peer assessment where students can provide peer feedback on a video-recorded skill. Students will be empowered to become involved in assessment and to impact on the grade awarded to learners for a healthcare related skill.
- A video-based assessment using Artificial Intelligence and including an open source digital badge as evidence of achievement will be developed and tested within this project.
