Ongoing Research Projects
Title: Designing 21st century nursing education by integrating adaptive learning technologies NURSEED
Acronym: NURSEED
Denmark is likely to face a shortage of 6,000 nurses by 2025. New nurses often fail to meet the demands of modern clinical practice, posing a serious risk to the health system. NURSEED will improve the quality of the nursing education and lower student dropouts through integrating and adjusting an adaptive learning (AL) platform and redesigning the curriculum accordingly. Danish Higher Education (HE) institutions have to date not yet harnessed the potential of new edtech solutions for more efficient and better education, and are furthermore in need of investments to do so. NURSEED will become a groundbreaking showcase on how to best integrate AL technology in quality health education.

Title: Portable Video Conferencing Toolkits and Online Applications for Engaging Learning Experience Design in Higher Education Classroom
Acronym: EdViCon
Online teaching that can give the same interaction and engagement of a large classroom of mathematics students, designers in a design studio, or freshmen in a physics laboratory requires fundamental rethinking in making the activities possible. We will develop educational materials to facilitate learning for educators, trainers, and students by adopting portable video conferencing systems and pedagogical designs involving online tools. We will also develop a digital competence matrix for categorizing the skills from three different schools of thought (i) the technology-centered view, (ii) a behaviorist view, and (iii) the social interaction view. The questionnaires developed based on the competence matrix will be a personal development tool for reflecting on the skills gaps and mismatches, which can be reduced by learning from the open-access educational materials made for learning the desired knowledge, competencies, and skills.
