College of Nursing in Celje is a project partner of the Erasmus+ project: »Digital Education in Nursing« (DEN).

About the project
The overall purpose of the project "Digital education in nursing" project (DEN) is to modernize the existing curriculum for nursing students by developing digital modules regarding lectures/examinations into new forms of education. The project will run for 24 months and the expected results are supposed to have long-term positive effects on nursing education in the EU. The pandemic has been the reason why the traditional academic education in nursing has forced to be transformed into digital forms without the lecturers being given the opportunity to adapt the pedagogy to digital education. The lecturers need support to develop their pedagogical skills from the traditional way to a more digital way in order to maintain the required and necessary high quality in nurse education. The traditional way is not sufficient, or applicable, to meet today's requirements especially not for satisfactory examinations.

A European collaboration

The project consortium consists of five partner organisations representing five EU countries (Croatia, Macedonia, Slovenia, Serbia and Sweden). All partner organizations have a strong tradition in nursing education and have already successfully collaborated in a European (Erasmus +) project. All partners organisations have worked with digital nursing education at a different level during pandemic 2020.
