“…Research indicates that due to increased geopolitical and economic imperatives in pursuit of international studies, reinforcement is needed to support learning experiences and equal accessibility for both staff and students. This rising trend has been observed in institutions seeking to enhance campus internationalization (Robson, 2016; Wihlborg and Robson, 2017) and create inclusive, collaborative learning communities supported by multimedia (Wihlborg and Friberg, 2016; Wihlborg, Friberg, Rose and Eastham, 2017). In a recent article on the BP, Brögger (2016: 87) problematized the notion that ‘the rule of this competitive, mimetic desire for better performance is what makes the Bologna mode of governance feasible’.…”

The starting point for this inductive study is to determine, through a search of studies, what critical viewpoints in terms of research are delivered, based on experiences, observations and evaluation, concerning the Bologna Process over time? The aim is to present a description using a thematic analysis based on data from 38 papers (2004–2016) that reveal the critical reasoning behind the research. The reasoning is critical in the sense that various authors have elaborated on and problematized aspects of the Bologna Process in terms of what to avoid and/or have characterized aspects related to the Bologna Process that are not desirable. Based on the outcome of the thematic analysis, theorists were selected in order to deepen the reasoning and meaning highlighted in three themes. The findings are further discussed in terms of knowledge and curriculum development for the future and the advancement of European higher education policy and beyond on equal terms. The article suggests that there are causes for concern regarding unwanted consequences in the aftermath of the Bologna Process.

“…Additionally, collaborative learning coupled with virtual learning was considered to have the potential to be a meaningful way of identifying high-quality, relevant, context-specific resources for student learning. Wihlborg and Friberg (2016) demonstrated that virtual learning enables faculty to collaborate internationally. Faculty working internationally and created an opportunity for students at two universities to collaborate resulting in students' learning about activities, such as patient safety, from another perspective (Wihlborg and Friberg, 2016).…”

Finland (Kuopio, Finland) we implemented teaching methods with our medical and dental students that show effectiveness through objective and subjective measures. Our strategic vision and mission for education is summarized in Supplementary File 1. The question discussed below is: What teaching methods, systems, and approaches ensure the most effective knowledge transfer and class conditions for medical and dental graduates during histology education?

SummaryBackgroundHealth information systems (HIS) are one of the most important areas for biomedical and health informatics. In order to professionally deal with HIS well-educated informaticians are needed. Because of these reasons, in 2001 an international course has been established: The Frank – van Swieten Lectures on Strategic Information Management of Health Information Systems.ObjectivesReporting about the Frank – van Swieten Lectures and about our students‘ feedback on this course during the last 16 years. Summarizing our lessons learned and making recommendations for such international courses on HIS.MethodsThe basic concept of the Frank – van Swieten lectures is to teach the theoretical background in local lectures, to organize practical exercises on modelling sub-information systems of the respective local HIS and finally to conduct Joint Three Days as an international meeting were the resulting models are introduced and compared.ResultsDuring the last 16 years, the Universities of Amsterdam, Braunschweig, Heidelberg/Heilbronn, Leipzig as well as UMIT were involved in running this course. Overall, 517 students from these universities participated. Our students‘ feedback was clearly positive. The Joint Three Days of the Frank – van Swieten Lectures, where at the end of the course all students can meet, turned out to be an important component of this course. Based on the last 16 years, we recommend common teaching materials, agreement on equivalent clinical areas for the exercises, support of group building of international student groups, motivation of using a collaboration platform, ensuring quality management of the course, addressing different levels of knowledge of the students, and ensuring sufficient funding for joint activities.ConclusionsAlthough associated with considerable additional efforts, we can clearly recommend establishing such international courses on HIS, such as the Frank – van Swieten Lectures.
