Minimally invasive surgical pedagogical model based on video technology enhanced learning: MISTELA

528125-LLP-1-2012-1-UK-LEONARDO-LMP

The project's main aim is to establish a joint initiative in the development of a EU MIS pedagogical framework. It will comply with the specific learning needs of surgical professionals in order to enhance their competence on MIS skills. It will account for the necessary means to enable formal, non-formal and informal learning. A common MIS learning programme will also guarantee the essential accreditation standards at a EU level and facilitate professionals’ mobility within the Union. A practical implementation of the model will be done. A Technology Enhanced Learning environment will be developed, providing collaborative context for MIS initial and lifelong learning, based on shareable, community-developed MIS video repositories. Collaborative and meaningful learning will be enhanced by an existing video-based authoring tool developed by members of the consortium, available for use by the community.
