3. The starting point
Students in hospital or ill at home face
isolation and cannot access mainstream
education.
ICT can play a key role in providing better
communication and mediation of the
educational processes whilst a student is absent
from school due to a medical condition.
4. The issue of HHE
(Home and Hospital Education)
Providing education to children and youngsters with
medical or psychological needs: a world-wide problem
Every country has its own solution for it.
Need for an international confrontation on this
subject
In some countries there are online/digital solutions
that may help the schools and the family to guarantee
the right to education also to these children.
5. Objectives and targets - 1
Improving:
the education of the ill child with ICT:
by a connection with his own class/home school;
by a connection to a virtual classroom of ill students.
the profile and competencies of the hospital/home
teacher in connection with technologies and their
role.
the competencies of the workers involved (nurses,
volunteers, technicians...) with ICT and their role.
6. Objectives and targets - 2
Provide helpful ICT solutions in terms of information
and support to parents and families of students with
medical needs.
Raise awareness of the contribution of ICT and digital
media in support HHE beyond the network itself.
7. Aims of this project
Outline key educational factors & good
practices needed by ill students;
Explore and design ICT-based solutions which
will enable children in hospital, in home
therapy, or who attend school part-time, to
access education.
Verify how technology can impact on the
methodology and pedagogy in Home and
Hospital Education (HHE).
8. Not only for ill people
Moreover, the initiatives adopted in the HHE,
which represents an educational extreme
are designed to be innovative and to improve
education in difficult contexts.
They may also be effectively applied in
‘normal’ didactical situations.
