3. The starting point
 Students in hospital or ill at home face
isolation and cannot access mainstream
education.
 ICT can play a key role in providing better
communication and mediation of the
educational processes whilst a student is absent
from school due to a medical condition.

4. The issue of HHE
(Home and Hospital Education)
 Providing education to children and youngsters with
medical or psychological needs: a world-wide problem
 Every country has its own solution for it.
  Need for an international confrontation on this
subject
 In some countries there are online/digital solutions
that may help the schools and the family to guarantee
the right to education also to these children.

5. Objectives and targets - 1
 Improving:
 the education of the ill child with ICT:
 by a connection with his own class/home school;
 by a connection to a virtual classroom of ill students.
 the profile and competencies of the hospital/home
teacher in connection with technologies and their
role.
 the competencies of the workers involved (nurses,
volunteers, technicians...) with ICT and their role.

6. Objectives and targets - 2
 Provide helpful ICT solutions in terms of information
and support to parents and families of students with
medical needs.
 Raise awareness of the contribution of ICT and digital
media in support HHE beyond the network itself.

7. Aims of this project
 Outline key educational factors & good
practices needed by ill students;
 Explore and design ICT-based solutions which
will enable children in hospital, in home
therapy, or who attend school part-time, to
access education.
 Verify how technology can impact on the
methodology and pedagogy in Home and
Hospital Education (HHE).

8. Not only for ill people
 Moreover, the initiatives adopted in the HHE,
which represents an educational extreme
are designed to be innovative and to improve
education in difficult contexts.

 They may also be effectively applied in
‘normal’ didactical situations.
