Internationalising Higher Education

This poster will outline an international project within the framework of the Lifelong Learning Programme and the Erasmus Curriculum Development sub-programme, initiated to improve the patient education skills of health care professionals. The project involves six partner organisations from four different countries: Estonia, Finland, Ireland and Lithuania. The project's main product will be an online study module on patient education for health care professionals. The project team will develop a new study module including innovative and more effective patient education and counselling methods. Work takes place in the Moodle on-line environment and the ACP-videoconferencing system is also used. This poster will discuss the experiences of the project group half way through this two year project and what it means to bring together a team of experts from different countries to work mainly online.
