AI4Med
Development of an AI-based ePortfolio that accompanies students of veterinary, dental and human medicine in the first semesters of their studies and is intended to create a stronger professional reference.
Goals/target group
The aim of the AI4MED project is to provide medical students with continuous and individualized feedback on their learning progress and profession-oriented learning experiences during their physics lectures and internships. This is achieved through the development of an AI-based, individualized ePortfolio that provides weekly short tests and subsequent feedback. The feedback includes targeted feedback on students' answers as well as individualized learning recommendations to track and improve their learning progress.
In addition, the ePortfolio in combination with a target group-oriented augmented reality (AR) environment is intended to support students in the physics laboratory practicals. Through individualized AR visualizations, experimental skills and the understanding of physical concepts are promoted in a professional manner, taking into account the skills and learning processes of the learners.
Contents
In the introductory phase of their studies, medical students face major challenges in terms of physical content. At the same time, students only receive limited feedback on their learning progress. In the AI4MED project, an AI-based, individualized ePortfolio is being developed to support students of veterinary, dental and human medicine during physics lectures and practicals by providing weekly short tests and subsequent AI-based feedback. The content and format of the short tests and feedback are designed by a panel of experts consisting of physics didactics experts, medical didactics experts, lecturers in medical physics and the student council of the Faculty of Medicine. The feedback consists of specific feedback on the answers as well as an individual list with concrete learning recommendations for personal learning progress. This provides medical students with regular and individual feedback on their learning progress and enables them to track and improve their learning status up to the exam. The ePortfolio, in combination with an augmented reality (AR) environment tailored to the target group, then supports students in the physical laboratory practicals. Taking into account the students' abilities and learning processes, individualized AR visualizations are offered to promote experimental skills and conceptual understanding of physical content.
