The HIPPON Project Reaches Its Final Stage

The project “ICT e-Modules for Histopathology: A Valuable Online Tool for Students, Researchers and Professionals – HIPPON”, led by Associate Professor Andreas C. Lazaris of the School of Medicine at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, together with partners from the School of Medicine at the University of Zagreb, Croatia; Radboud University Medical Center in the Netherlands; the Centre for Advancement of Research and Development in Educational Technology (CARDET) in Cyprus; and the Faculty of Computer Science and Engineering at Ss. Cyril and Methodius University in Macedonia, is co-funded by the Lifelong Learning Programme of the Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency of the European Commission for a three-year period, from January 2013 to December 2015.

The central concept of the HIPPON project is to employ blended-learning approaches, combining the strongest features of the ICT system—e-modules, an online game, a virtual portfolio and a histology book—with the extensive expertise of the content creators, in order to make pathology education more engaging and practical. The project is fully oriented towards its end users: students, residents and pathologists. Following three years of intensive work, the participating pathologists, together with IT experts and specialists in innovative learning design, developed a self-contained, well-structured, easy-to-use multilingual e-learning platform that provides a valuable teaching tool for students, researchers and professionals.

The HIPPON project has reached its conclusion, but every ending is a new beginning …
