OBJECTIVES
The main objective of PODIATRAIN project is to develop and test an on-line course addressed to European Podiatrists aimed to complement the educational programme and the learning outcomes covered by the corresponding degree considering the new advances in this area.
IMPLEMENTATION
High Education: Curriculum of PODIATRAIN course
1. Definition of the training preferences for PODIATRAIN course (UCV, Xamk, UoM, IBV )
2. Generation of the High Education curriculum of PODIATRAIN course (UCV, IBV)
3. Formative contents and complementary materials of PODIATRAIN course
4. Elaboration of the session contents (Xamk. UoM)
5. Elaboration of complementary materials (UCV, IBV)
6. Layout of the contents (IBV)
7. Improvement and translation of the contents from English into other languages (IBV and UCV into Spanish, XAMK into Finnish, UoM
into Maltese)
Validated PODIATRAIN on-line course
8. First prototype of the course in English implemented into the e-learning platform (IBV)
9. Pilot test to validate the course (IBV, UCV, Xamk, UoM)
