description

Education is an important contribution to the digital transformation in society. In health care services, there is a need to combine knowledge in health science and information-and communication technologies. At the University of Agder in Norway, there is a Master's Program in Health and Social Informatics targeting students with health educational background. This paper shares the experiences on methods for teaching basic information-and communication technology to this student group. A quantitative study was made to evaluate the pedagogical methods and the organization of a technical master course with respondents from the last two classes. The experiences on the course execution and the evaluation are presented here.
