Abstract

As a profession with high demands on theoretical as well as practical medical knowledge, nursing is an area in which trainees and trainers can benefit strongly from digital learning technologies. This applies even more to trainees with migration background, as the demand on theoretical and practical expertise in nursing is accompanied by high requirements on technical as well as colloquial linguistic proficiency. At this point, digital learning and training can help profoundly by including multi-lingual functionality. At the same time, advanced technologies like virtual reality become more and more important. Consequently, factors like ease of use, comprehensibility, attractiveness, scalability and extensibility need consideration in equal measure in the design and implementation of a learning solution. In this paper, we look at the challenges, give some examples of existing solutions and outline our current project for a mutli-channel approach, funded by the German Ministry of Health.
