This case-study compared traditional, face-to-face classroom-based teaching with asynchronous online learning and methods in two sets of students undertaking a problem-based module the multilevel exploratory factor analysis longitudinal data as part Masters degree Public Health at Maastricht University. Students were allocated to one study variants on basis their enrolment status full-time or part-time students. Full-time (n = 11) followed variant 12) which included video recorded lectures...
Blended learning in which online education is combined with face-to-face especially useful for (future) health care professionals who need to keep up-to-date. can make more efficient, instance by removing barriers of time and distance. In the past distance-based activities have often been associated traditional delivery-based methods, individual limited contact. The central question this paper is: blended be active collaborative? Three cases blended, collaborative are presented. case 1 a...
Clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) can play a crucial role in achieving better and more cost-efficient health care. This requires training care providers CPG development. study presents results of design-based research on program based the learning theory problem-based learning, following underlying principles active, authentic, collaborative, blended learning. The CoCoCare aims to equip neurology residents with insight development (including cost aspects) understanding how apply CPGs...
Modern learning theories stress the importance of student-centered and self-directed learning. Problem-Based Learning (PBL) supports this by focusing on small group centered around authentic problems. PBL, however, usually relies heavily face-to-face team collaboration tutor guidance. Yet, when applied in online/blended environments, such elements may not be feasible or even desirable. This study explores how virtual teams collaborate online tasks context a nine-week Massive Open Online...
As nearly all doctors deal with patients requiring palliative care, it is imperative that care education starts early.

In this context, cross-border handovers or the transfer of patients from one country to another deserves particular attention. Although general handover has been topic extensive research, little known about challenges across national borders, especially as perceived by stakeholders. study, we aimed gain insight into professionals’ perspectives on ways support this. Methods We...
BackgroundSociocultural theories state that learning results from people participating in contexts where social interaction is facilitated. There a need to create such facilitated pedagogical spaces participants can share their ways of knowing and doing. The aim this exploratory study was introduce space for sociocultural using 'Identity Text'.MethodsIdentity Texts are artifacts produced by participants, which be written, spoken, visual, musical, or multimodal. In 2013, an international...

There is a need for culturally competent health care providers (HCPs) to provide deaf signers, who are members of linguistic and cultural minority group. Many signers have lower literacy levels due deprivation incidental learning opportunities inaccessibility health-related materials, increasing their risk poorer outcomes. Communication barriers arise because HCPs ill-prepared serve this population, with reporting poor-quality interactions. This has translated errors in diagnosis, patient...
