Abstract

The paper presents a framework for technology enhanced education (TEE) in orthopaedics aimed at employment of ubiquitous information and communication technology (ICT) and digital technologies in order to compensate for an unaffordable learning environment. On the other side, the concept involves both (bio)engineers, ICT specialists, and orthopaedic surgeons in an interprofessional collaboration, leveraging multidisciplinary approaches to improve the quality of clinical-oriented education. Preliminary results indicate increased motivation and satisfaction of both the learners and educators.
