Abstract

The aim of the MILE project is to foster a multidisciplinary collaboration between the healthcare sector, specifically healthcare professionals and IT and computing experts. The objective is to develop a computer-based learning (CBL) environment for midwifery and nurse education. As there is little, if any, work within this application domain, MILE will be developed covering an appropriate subset of common skills necessary for midwives and nurses to work within obstetrics and/or gynaecology. The scope and functionality of the CBL environment will enable evaluation of the uptake and performance of such technology within a highly skilled and wide range task environment. This involves both classroom and on-the-job training.
