On behalf of the entire team, we would like to take this opportunity to send you our warmest Christmas greetings

At AMEE, we had the incredible opportunity to connect with leading experts in the field of medical education and engage in meaningful discussions. Our commitment to providing innovative solutions for assessment procedures, including cutting-edge assessment tools, truly shone through. The Planetary Health OSCEs and the International ProgressTest garnered a lot of interest as well.

Also this year the Institute for Communication and Assessment Research and UCAN will be represented at the annual meeting of AMEE in Glasgow (UK). Come by our booth no. 88 in the non-profit area and visit us! We´re looking forward to see you!

We are very pleased to announce that today we can open the registration for our international Technical Taskforce Meeting on September 27, 2023.

Another milestone was reached in the “Examination Software” work package in April: The testing of the tablet-based examination tool tOSCE in the practical master craftsman’s examination for electrical engineers at the Heilbronn-Franken Chamber of Crafts was successfully completed and evaluated.

The next international UCAN conference will take place from 28th to 29th of September 2023. It will be hosted by our partner Medical School Hamburg with the hygiene regulations currently in force. Save today for the date of our UCAN Conference 2023. More information will follow shortly.

After the last meeting of the international Technical Taskforce took place virtually, we are very pleased that the venue for a face-to-face meeting has been fixed. 

This year we deliberately decided against Christmas greetings by mail and instead opted for a tree donation.

The introduction of digitally supported examinations in the crafts sector has already been offering many advantages in individual skilled crafts organizations for several years. The change from paper-based to digitally supported examinations is taking place gradually. In addition, the Corona pandemic has given a boost to digitization in everyday teaching and working life, and thus also in the examination system. Since November 2020, the ProNet Handwerk team has been working on how the examination process in the crafts sector can be streamlined and simplified nationwide with the help of digitally supported examinations. The goal is to establish examination software that is precisely tailored to the requirements of the crafts sector.

When we started using tablet-based OSCE exams in 2012, we did not expect how much this UCAN tool would change the UCAN world.

Dear UCAN partners,
there is no substitute for personal contact with our users and their direct feedback. Therefore, we would like to invite you to participate in our monthly jour fixe “Meet the developers”.
