| Description | The quality of education closely relates to the quality of curriculum and its management. This also applies to medical education, which is also changing with the development of modern technologies. Therefore, we summarised the best experience and knowledge of curriculum mapping and brought to our faculties a pioneering concept, including expertise in selected medical disciplines. The main results of our efforts include the delivery of methodologies and a unified ICT platform developed for optimisation of curricula. Based on users’ needs and requirements, the anatomy as one of the core preclinical study discipline and five different medical disciplines were completely mapped and optimised to prove modernizing effects as well as practical application of our platform. Thanks to the open and modular approach of platform's framework, the interdisciplinary study programmes can be easily designed, mapped and managed, and the redundancies and the gaps in curricula can be detected too. Curricula designers are equipped by the visual tools and feedbacks allowing them effective administration of particular study blocks as well as to communicate with teachers and educators to adapt and develop curricula to the recent trends and knowledge. |
