- Report 1: building a technologically informed information and communication network in europePublication . Looy, Anne de; Liddell, Judith; Maramba, Inocencio; Moreira, Ana Catarina; Zwickert, Elina; Borrego, Rute; Corish, Clare; Keyzer, Willem de; Ferro-Lebres, Vera; Räss-Hunziker, Andrea; Storcksdieck, Stefan; Troiano, ErisiliaThis report represents an extraordinary and unique exchange of information across Europe through the creation of a website and learning how to use technology more effectively. Over the three-year period the capabilities conducted as part the EU funded Thematic Network „Dietitians Implementing Education and Training Standards‟ in Europe (DIETS) are presented here. The number of users registered to access the intranet (password-protected) section of the website grew rapidly from 0 at launch to 965 by the end of the third year. A great deal of learning and change to practice has resulted as well as closer engagement between HEIs and their dietetic departments across Europe. This Network of HEIs and their dietetic colleagues will endure long after the DIETS Network has finished its work, largely due to the enhanced ITC capabilities. The ultimate benefit to the dietetic profession, their education and lifelong learning and their contribution to nutritional health in Europe will continue to unfold
- Report 4: The Dissemination Potential of a European NetworkPublication . Looy, Anne de; Liddell, Judith; Maramba, Inocencio; Moreira, Ana Catarina; Borrego, Rute; Keyzer, Willem; Ferro-Lebres, Vera; Maramba, Cito Cortes; Räss-Hunziker, Andrea; Storcksdieck, Stefan; Troiano, Erisilia; Zwickert, ElinaThe report that follows represents an extraordinary and unique exchange of information. Unfolding here are the capabilities for dissemination and exploitation in the EU-funded Thematic Network ‘Dietitians Implementing Education and Training Standards’ in Europe (DIETS). At the beginning of the Network there were 112 Partners and about 500 registered users of the DIETS website, but over a three-year period this has increased to 123 Partners and well over 1000 users. The activity of these Partners and their determination to publicise the Network and, more importantly, the role of the dietitian, has been immense and sometimes difficult to capture. However, captured in this report are the learning and change to practice that has resulted, as well as closer engagement between HEIs and their dietetic departments across Europe. Some of the good practice described here will be of value to others starting this type of journey. This network of HEIs, their dietetic colleagues and others will endure long after the DIETS Network has finished its work, largely due to the enthusiasm of the Partners and the social network that has been built and embedded. The ultimate benefit to dietitians, through education, lifelong learning and their contribution to nutritional health in Europe will continue to unfold.
- Using information technology to share experiences and enhance communication skills 2006-2009Publication . Looy, Anne de; Almeida-de-Souza, Juliana; Liddell, Judith; Maramba, Inocencio; Naumann, Elke; Van Ael, KarinThis report follows the unique exchange of information across Europe that took place through visits conducted as part the EU-funded Thematic Network ‘Dietitians Implementing Education and Training Standards’ in Europe (DIETS). A great deal of learning and change to practice was anecdotally reported from the face-to-face visits. These will take time to implement following focussed reflection. This report attempts to capture some of these reflections. Reflection across great distances was an environmental and resource challenge. The meetings were therefore conducted ‘virtually’ using information technology available to the Partners. This had the added advantage of improving further the ITC skills of the Partners. Finally, students were encouraged to undertake joint meetings or seminars and these are also reported. Using ITC successfully, and building the confidence of Partners, has increased the capabilities of the Network of HEIs and their dietetic practice placement colleagues. These improvements will endure long after the DIETS Network has finished its work. The ultimate benefit to the dietitians, through education, lifelong learning and their contribution to nutritional health in Europe will continue to unfold.
