Workplan

 

 We choose to split the different actions we are going to undertake in seven main work packages.

 

WP1: Management and Implementation –Leader: AUTh

This WP deals with project management and coordination.

WP2: Development of Genetic Counseling Methodology (PR1) –Leader: UHEI

Experts in the field of GC will share their existing GC protocols and partnership will create the final European Guidelines. A needs analysis, involving a large variety of participants from care and patient organizations, diagnostic institutions and genetic laboratories (HCPs) will be contacted in order to define their needs and the specifications of the protocol. The Transnational Implementation Guidelines including ¨Best GC Protocol” will be the final result of this WP.

WP3: Development and design of the GECONEU course and material (PR2) – Leader: VUB

Based on the specifications from WP2 and also a Cross-country comparison of the courses in partnerships universities, the GECONEU course and material will be developed and designed. Feedback from end-users from the Needs analysis study will be used for the creation of this WP. The result will be the course material that will be used for the pilot (PR4).

WP4: Design, Development and Testing of a Service System (PR3) – Leader: AUTh

Based on the specifications from WP2,  the service system which will be included in the e-learning platform will be developed and designed. It will make it possible to combine online digital media with traditional classroom methods. With the service system and the e-learning platform, students not only have control over time, place, path and pace, but it also allows for a combination of classroom practices with computing mediated activities regarding content and delivery. The results of this WP will be the software of the learning platform that can be used for the pilot.

WP5: Pilot (PR4) –Leader: IEU

It contains the tasks related to piloting the new and innovative course in 4 HEIs and local care facilities. A group of students will take part in the course and perform the pilot. It will support the sustainability and replicability of the material and service system of the learning platform. A Learning Teaching Training Activity will be organised before the Pilot in order to train teachers in the GECONEU Course.

WP6: Evaluation and monitoring of the project objectives and impact – Leader: FCRB

This WP monitors the progress of the project to meet the objectives on a continuous basis. Standardized measures, such as questionnaires, will be used to evaluate the acceptability of the course and the blended learning platform. This WP will be a comprehensive report that is the basis for further development in the project.

WP7: Dissemination –Leader: P.I.N.Dis

This WP concerns the ongoing dissemination of the project and the Project Results at local, national and EU levels. Partners will continuously disseminate the ongoing Project Results at their local level and within their organizations. 5 Multiplier Events will be organised (one in each country) to spread the outcomes.
