Embarking on planning and design of new library courses, or just even redesigning them, might be challenging in an everyday busy schedule. Especially if you want to try out new digital applications or features that could give the training an edge towards students, often prejudiced to what they can expect from a traditional library course. Ideally you engage colleagues and even students and faculty members in such a process. But how can you allocate enough time and resources to reach such ambitions? The ABC method, developed at University College London, is an effective, engaging and creative approach. In only 90 minutes groups are able to work together hands-on to create a visual storyboard outlining the type and sequence of learning activities aligned with the course’s learning outcomes. Blended learning and co-creation are often encouraged in course design in many educational institutions these days. The ABC method encourage also library instructors to think about e-learning tools, methods for active learning and opportunities for co-creation. Library courses, in difference from regular courses at universities, if often taught as a “one-shot-session”, and they rarely include formal evaluations. We therefore felt the need to adapt the method to better suit these circumstances. We adjusted both agenda and material, but all ideas and principles follow the original method. Evaluation showed good feedback regarding the proportion of participants who intended to change their course design after attending the workshop. This session will present the basic principles of the ABC-method and our experiences working with this approach to blended course planning.

UNSTRUCTURED Objective In surgery electronic healthcare systems offer numerous options to improve patient care. Aim of this study was to analyse the current status of digitalisation and its influence in surgery, with a special focus on surgical education and training. Methods An individually created questionnaire was used to analyse the subjective assessment of the digitalisation processes in clinical surgery. The online questionnaire consisted of 16 questions regarding the importance and the corresponding implementation of the teaching contents: big data, health apps, messenger apps, telemedicine, data protection/IT security, ethics, simulator training, economics and e-learning were included. The participation link was sent to members of the German Society of Surgery via the e-mail distribution list. Results In total, 119 surgeons (response rate = 19.8 %) took part in the survey. 18.5 % of them were trainees (TR). 81.5 % had already completed specialist training (SP). 66.4 % confirm a positive influence of digitalisation on the quality of patient care. The presence of a surgical robot was confirmed by 47.9 % of the participants. 22.0 % (n=26) of the participants confirm the possibil-ity of using virtual simulators. According to 79.0 % of the participants, the integration of digital technologies in surgical education for basic and advanced stage surgeons should be aimed for. Data protection (1.7) and e-Learning (1.7) were rated as the most important teaching content. The greatest discrepancy between importance and implementation was seen in the teaching content of big data (mean: 2.2 to 3.8). Conclusion The results of the survey reveal the particular importance of digitalisation content for surgery, surgical education and training. At the same time, the results underline the desire for in-creased integration of digital competence teaching. The data also show an overall more pro-gressive and optimistic perception of TR. In order to meet the challenges of the digital trans-formation, the implementation of suitable curricula, including virtual simulation-based training and blended-learning teaching concepts should be emphasized.

The advent of global digital networking, chiefly the Internet, broadened access to cultural portals with various remote online education resources, providing a unique behind-the scenes view of knowledge, and therefore re-established the visitor’s own ability of self-learning. Science centers capitalized on that development, as they expanded their mission beyond lab assessments and hands-on interactive exhibits using Web casting with explainers; the most recent innovative technology for real-time demonstrations involve real and virtual scientific institutions. Hence, adopting a multidisciplinary perspective covering both the humanities and natural sciences such as biology, heritage, physics, civilization, informatics, theology, medicine, anthropology, and even law for visitors have become involved in topical debates. Web casting allows individuals to form their viewpoints on contemporary concerns ranging from genetic engineering and sustainability to space exploration.

Engineering education process is heavily relying on the practical hands-on experimentation. However, todayâ??s education is involving more and more e-learning aspects and learners expect to get most of the content and activity available over the Internet. Practical experiments is not trivial to carry out over the Internet, but using novel ICT technologies and integrated solution, it is possible to offer real experimentation over the Internet. This paper describes and presents the remote practical experiment system in robotic and embedded system domain.
