1. Digital technology in healthcare : enhancing education and patient careMateja Lorber, Lucija Gosak, Gregor Štiglic, Adrijana Svenšek, 2025, samostojni znanstveni sestavek ali poglavje v monografski publikaciji Opis: The implementation of digital tools, systems, and technologies in healthcare improves education, lowers the risk of errors, and enables the provision of comprehensive, high-quality care to patients. Our study analyzed healthcare students’ comprehension and viewpoints on the use of digital technologies in their education and practice. We aim to investigate how healthcare students are educated about digital technology’s potential applications during their studies and in clinical practice. Healthcare students provided several practical illustrations of digital technology employment, including e-health records, documentation access, diagnoses, electronic medical records, and mobile health. These examples effectively demonstrate improved communication between healthcare professionals, streamlined data analysis and management, and better patient monitoring. Although digital technology brings significant benefits to healthcare education, students remain mindful of the challenges it poses. We assert that digital technology is essential for improving the quality of healthcare education and providing comprehensive, evidence-based patient care.

2. Digital standard for the design of inclusive and effective online courses in higher education : an integrative literature reviewSabina Ličen, Mirko Prosen, 2025, samostojni znanstveni sestavek ali poglavje v monografski publikaciji Opis: This integrative literature review examines models and frameworks for digital education in higher education, synthesizing their key strengths and limitations. By analysing nine existing frameworks covering different aspects of digital education, including pedagogical approaches, technological solutions and assessment mechanisms, the study identifies gaps in the current literature. The findings show that while the individual models provide valuable insights, none of them independently offer a complete approach to the design, implementation and assessment of digital education. Therefore, this study proposes the development of an integrated digital standard that combines theoretical and practical perspectives to promote inclusive and effective online learning. Such a standard could increase the adaptability to students' needs, improve assessment mechanisms and increase the flexibility of digital learning environments. This study contributes to the development of sustainable and adaptable solutions for the future of digital education.

3. Promoting sustainable medical education through digital competence : a cross-sectional pilot studySabina Ličen, Mirko Prosen, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: The increasing digitalisation of medical education requires teachers to have a broad range of competences that go beyond basic technical knowledge. This pilot cross-sectional study assessed the self-perceived digital competence of medical faculty members and examined differences by professional role, experience and gender. Of 298 eligible staff, 48 participated (response rate 16.1%), including 19 women (39.6%) and 29 men (60.4%). The data was collected via an online survey using the validated Digital Competence Scale for University Teachers, which comprises four subscales: digital literacy, digital skills, digital interaction and technology integration. The overall median score indicated a generally high level of self-perceived digital competence, with 95% bootstrap confidence intervals confirming this pattern. Assistant professors achieved higher scores in all subscales than associate and full professors. Self-perceived digital competence was positively correlated with participation in structured training, higher interest and frequency of use of digital tools, while age and teaching experience were negatively correlated. The findings suggest unequal levels of self-perceived digital competence across the academic status and highlight the positive association of self-perceived digital competence with participation in targeted, practical and inclusive training programmes.

4. Innovative teaching methods in higher education : the case of University of PrimorskaTina Štemberger, Andreja Klančar, 2025, samostojni znanstveni sestavek ali poglavje v monografski publikaciji Opis: The paper addresses the use of innovative teaching methods in higher education, specifically at the University of Primorska (UP). In the last decades, the use of digital technologies in teaching has undoubtably changed both, teaching and learning process. However, not much research has focused on using innovative teaching methods in higher education settings, so the aims of the study were to (i) determine how frequently higher education professors use different teaching strategies and methods and tools, digital tools and generative AI tools, (ii) what kind of challenges they face in this context and (iii) which competences would they need to better implement innovative teaching methods into their teaching. Data was gathered with questionnaire which was administered in spring 2024. A total of 74 academic staff members of UP participated in the study. The results in general show that higher education professors frequently use as problem-based learning, team-based learning, and scenario-based learning, while gamification, design thinking, and cooperative learning are underutilized. They frequently use Google Drive and YouTube. The major barriers for using more innovative teaching strategies and methods are time constraints, limited access to resources and technology, and lack of pedagogical and digital skills, so they express the need for targeted training in digital tools, AI, and innovative teaching methods, as well as strategies for engaging students and managing large groups.
