The ClinicalModelling project recently concluded an intensive blended-learning training course for teachers, tutors, and trainers from four countries, aimed at equipping them with the essential skills to effectively guide students in self-analysis and use video-modelling techniques for classroom discussions and lesson creation.

Hosted at the Universidade de Santiago de Compostela (USC) in Spain, the training took place from 14th to 16th October, bringing together 20 participants from project partners Escola Superior de Saúde de Santa Maria (ESSSM), USC, Uniwersytet Jagielloński w Krakowie, and University of Ljubljana, as well as from SurgeonMate.

The training was designed to be practical and engaging, incorporating 12 hours of autonomous online learning and up to 18 hours of face-to-face training. This blended-learning approach allowed for a balance of independent learning and direct interaction with experts in the field.

Key takeaways from the training included:

  • Smart Glasses Proficiency: Participants learned how to set up and calibrate smart glasses for high-quality video capture in classroom settings.
  • Video Editing Skills: Hands-on training focused on editing video content, including anonymization, sound enhancement, and file management.
  • Video Asset Management: Participants were trained in uploading and organizing video content on platforms such as Moodle, ensuring secure and compliant management of educational resources.

The training was part of the broader effort to develop a comprehensive toolkit for educators, designed to support the adoption of video-modelling techniques in classrooms. These tools, including learning resources and video-modelling guidelines, will be available online through the project’s website.

With the successful completion of this training, educators are now equipped to better support students’ self-analysis, create engaging lessons using video-modelling, and foster an innovative digital learning environment.
