EYE LEARN

The project submitted jointly by HEdS-FR and HEIA-FR to the HES-SO's Service d'Appui au Développement Académique et Pédagogique (SADAP) call for projects was officially awarded a prize on 08.04.2022.

Développement de la compréhension des mécanismes cognitifs des étudiant-e-s en simulation grâce
à l’utilisation de Eye Tracking : application dans les Soins Infirmiers et perspectives d'élargissement à
d'autres disciplines.
(Developing an understanding of students' cognitive mechanisms in simulation using
the use of Eye Tracking: application in Nursing and prospects for extending to other disciplines.
other disciplines)

Award:
The sum of CHF 100,000 has been awarded to help support the development of this educational innovation.

Team:

• Jean-Michel Vasse, clinical lecturer - HEdS-FR
• Alain Verdon, full professor - HEdS-FR
• Catherine Senn-Dubey, Co-Dean of Nursing - HEdS-FR
• Quentin Meteier, postdoctoral student - HEIA-FR
• Leonardo Angelini, Lecturer - HEIA-FR
• Elena Mugelini, full professor and head of HumanTech - HEIA-FR

The University of Mons and its Institut d'Administration Scolaire - INAS (Institute of School Administration) invited EYE LEARN as part of their ARC Sim'Pro Project.

The program is structured around the themes of simulation and eye tracking.

• Presentation: EYE LEARN: Understanding the cognitive process of simulation students
• Recording of an episode of C@fé INAS with Jean-Michel Vasse as guest

The abstract proposed by EYE LEARN has been selected by the ERC for a short poster presentation at the RESUS2023 annual congress.

This participation is a rare opportunity that will highlight the work carried out at HEdS-FR and HEIA-FR.

The presentation will be given as part of the "Education and Implementation (including simulation)" theme:

• EYE LEARN: Innovation pedagogical process using eye tracking in acute care simulation
  Presentation: Jean-Michel Vasse (HEdS-FR)

The DigitalSkills@Fribourg project is a collaboration between the University of Fribourg and the HES-SO/Fribourg. It aims to strengthen and stimulate the digital skills of students, teachers and the institution.

• The training day Réalité virtuelle et augmentée: comment enrichir son cours avec l’apprentissage immersif? (Virtual and augmented reality: how can you enrich your course with immersive learning?) gives EYE LEARN a prominent place among the illustrations of the uses of eye tracking and virtual reality.
  These themes will be developed and tested.
  Moderators: Jean-Michel Vasse (HEdS-FR), Quentin Meteier (HEIA-FR), Elena Mugelini (HEIA-FR)

Part of the EYE LEARN team had the opportunity to present its concept at the Symposium de pédagogie des sciences de la santé (Health Sciences Pedagogy Symposium) hosted by the University of Geneva and co-organised by UNIL, CHUV, UniFR, CIS, HUG and UDREM.

There were two presentations:

• Plenary presentation: EYE LEARN: Eye-tracking-based Learning process to enhance reasoning and metacognition
  Presentation: Jean-Michel Vasse (HEdS-FR)
• Group workshop: EYE LEARN: Transposition in my activity?
  Facilitators: Quentin Meteier (HEIA-FR), Alain Verdon (HEdS-FR), Jean-Michel Vasse (HEdS-FR)

Feedback were very positive and there was plenty of opportunity for discussion. Prospects for further development or potential partnerships are being considered.

Many thanks to the symposium organising committee and to Julia Sader in particular.

Following the Award of the Pedagogical Innovation 2021 by the Academic and Pedagogical Development Support Service (SADAP) of the HES-SO, the 2023 Innovation Day focused on the presentation of EYE LEARN with a double intervention:

• Plenary presentation:
• Méthodologie d’utilisation du Eye Tracking pour le développement de la métacognition des étudiant·es (Methodology for using Eye Tracking to develop students' metacognition.
• Presentation: Jean-Michel Vasse (HEdS-FR), Alain Verdon (HEdS-FR), Quentin Meteier (HEIA-FR)
  
  
• Mid-day stand
  Presentation: Jean-Michel Vasse (HEdS-FR), Alain Verdon (HEdS-FR), Quentin Meteier (HEIA-FR)
  
  
• Group workshop: Methodology for using Eye Tracking to develop students' metacognition: let's test and exchange ideas
  Moderators: Jean-Michel Vasse (HEdS-FR), Alain Verdon (HEdS-FR), Quentin Meteier (HEIA-FR)

Organised by the Secrétariat international des infirmières et infirmiers de l'espace francophone (SIDIIEF), this world congress aims to highlight nursing expertise and its contribution to improving people's health.

As part of the oral presentations on the theme of training, the ABCDE approach was presented, incorporating training tools such as EYE LEARN:

• ABCDE: Une approche efficiente pour développer les compétences en raisonnement clinique (ABCDE: An efficient approach to developing clinical reasoning skills)
  Presentation: Alain Verdon (HEdS-FR)

Following the Award of the Pedagogical Innovation 2021 by the Academic and Pedagogical Development Support Service (SADAP) of the HES-SO, the Pedagogical Innovation Day 2022 provided the opportunity to present EYE LEARN with a triple intervention:

• Short plenary presentation:
  Presentation: Jean-Michel Vasse (HEdS-FR)
  
  
• Mid-day stand
  Presentation: Jean-Michel Vasse (HEdS-FR), Leonardo Angelini (HEIA-FR), Alain Verdon (HEdS-FR)
  
  
• Group workshop: Using eye tracking to understand students' cognitive mechanisms
