Handbook

Third intellectual output is the handbook, which will act as a tool for sustainability. The handbook will be designed to support the practical implementation of the SAPHA-course and is directed to teachers that may implement the program in different countries along whole Europe. The whole course material will be compiled together to an eHandbook, also printed versions of Handbook will be produced.

The handbook consists of the structure of the course and a guide how to build up the course to an electrical platform, introduction to the pedagogic solutions used in SAPHA, such as digital pedagogy and simulation pedagogy, as well as various learning materials (theory lectures, videos, scenarios, exercises, etc.) to run the course. The clear and thorough explanation of the SAPHA-course improves the quality of ergonomic education in the field of patient handling.

The handbook is developed in open access principles, which strengthens the dissemination and sustainability. All the HEI institutions nationally and internationally are able to use the SAPHA-course as a part of their curricula. Handbook as separate product piles up the results of previous IO development processes, selecting the data needed for other European HEIs to develop a similar course.
