CARE (Connecting teAching Rooms tEchnology)

The primary goal of this project is to leverage technology to enable live streaming of demonstrations hosted at the Clinical Education Centre (CEC). This dynamic and inclusive educational experience will contribute to the themes underpinned by SATLE. The project aims to transform the CEC by promoting active engagement with digital learning and aligning with the DCU SATLE theme of Digital Transformation. The initiative will focus on seamless live streaming, eliminating interruptions and buffering issues. It will also prioritise accessibility, outreach, and engagement with a wider audience. Previous live streaming methods, such as Zoom, have faced challenges with picture quality and audio delays between locations. Live clinical demonstrations provide a direct link between theoretical knowledge and real-world application, enhancing the practical skills facilitated by the CEC on over 20 modules, both undergraduate and postgraduate. This technology can also facilitate large group simulation observation and debriefing.
