NEWMED
The main goal of the project “New Era in Medical Education (NEWMED)” is to rationalize online teaching at the participating medical faculties thanks to the unified methodological guidance of academics in the preparation of syllabi and online study materials for students.
The primary target group of the project are academic staff from the involved partner institutions, for whom the rapid transition to online teaching during the spring of 2020 meant a great burden. The secondary target group, which will benefit from the implementation of the NEWMED project, are students of the participating medical faculties.
