Outline and Evaluation of a Joint European and Canadian Virtual Mobility: e-Learning Project

Abstract

The “virtual mobility” project was created as part of a joint Canadian and European Commission funded project to explore cross-cultural clinical curricular developments in the radiation sciences. The aim of the project was to facilitate student learning of the cross-cultural differences in the delivery of healthcare within the disciplines of diagnostic radiography and radiotherapy. The project was delivered as case study group work, on-line via the virtual learning environment (VLE) “Blackboard”. Upon completion of the project, participants and staff facilitators were encouraged to complete an on-line questionnaire, which was used to inform future improvements.
