“…Among the possible positive or negative experiences with the academic routines during the COVID-19 pandemic, as reported in the studies of Nortvig et al (2018), Tuma et al (2021) and Borrelli et al (2022), we admit as a hypothesis to explore the use of VM through the methodological prism, considering that it may have supported aggregative experiments in the learning process. Based on this, we propose that:…”

“…Tuma et al (2021) found that the quality of virtual events did not result in disengagement of participants in medical residency programs, with also higher participation in virtual than in in-person educational meetings. However, Borrelli et al (2022) found that previous experiences in e-learning were not uniformly positive, since several benefits of PM were of low fruition by the students.…”

PurposeDuring the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and social distancing, the Virtual Mobility Program (Promover) implemented in 2021 in Brazil aimed to allow students enrolled in Brazilian federal universities to take curricular components at other institutions of the system remotely. The main objective of this research was to identify the most important factors, in students' perception, that affected their satisfaction with virtual mobility (VM) and the factors that drive the intention to continue mobility.Design/methodology/approachData collection was performed through 433 questionnaires answered online. R software was used for descriptive analysis and SmartPLS to examine the relationship between independent and dependent variables through Structural Equation Modeling.FindingsA positive relationship was verified between the constructs, and the hypothesized relations were confirmed at statistically significant level, revealing the students' satisfaction with VM and their intention to continue exploring this online learning option through Promover. The results showed that the motivations for VM are linked to the pursuit of knowledge and more opportunities for training and work. Plus, the use of VM proved to be a motivator for student engagement and e-learning effectiveness.Originality/valueThe findings can be useful as they highlight the opportunity to expand VM programs for students, even after the return to on-campus academic activities.

“…Previous research has explored the barriers to mobility activities in midwifery and the requirements for new approaches and resources to enable transnational learning to occur [1], [2]. The benefits for learners who engage in study mobility experiences include development of soft skills, interaction skills with individuals from different cultures, adaptability, and proficiency and communication skills in foreign languages.…”

“…Learning analytics are the measurement, collection, analysis, and reporting of data about learners and their contexts, to aid in understanding for how to optimize learning, and the environments in which it occurs [6]. Moodle [1] records the interactions by users, termed 'hits', on different assets such as pages, lessons, forums, access to files, click on URLs, and others. Therefore, this article presents the method and results of the analysing this data from the 9 VPLs to provide insight as to how students/learners are engaging and accepting the VLPs information, features, media etc.…”

Equality, social inclusion, and participation of non-mobile midwifery students studying in England, Italy, Estonia and the Netherlands was of interest in this project. Five Virtual Learning Packages (VLPs) were created to address needs within maternity surrounding a sense of safety, positive lifestyle choices, needs for the migrant population, and psychological wellbeing for women and families. After reviewing the learning analytics for these TOTEMM VLP resources, they showed increase in peer engagement facilitation for most learners, showed consistent and completed usage through badges earned and module completions, and showed uptake of the required media and resources embedded into each lesson. Overall, the VLPs were well-designed and developed to produce results which demonstrate that learners can independently progress with minimal issues-or seek help via the help pages where necessary. There was moderate/strong peer-to-peer engagement, and anytime access was essential. A SWOT analysis was presented to detail where updates and improvement may be made to address limitations, and some data analysis limitations. The VLPs can be used by midwifery students to present much needed information validated by midwifery educators, and encourages peer to peer communication across Europe.
