1. Digital Narrative Photography as a Method to Improve Empathy in Health SciencesJuan M. Leyva, 2025, independent scientific component part or a chapter in a monograph Abstract: This chapter explores narrative photography in health sciences education, highlighting its effectiveness in addressing the often-overlooked psychosocial needs of patients. Traditionally focused on immediate biological outcomes, healthcare has neglected the importance of empathy and reflective practice. Narrative photography, inspired by Photovoice and reflective practice, involves capturing and reflecting on patients’ real-life narratives through visual and written means. Students create self-made photographs or drawings, articulate their interpretations through short reflective narratives, and engage in group discussions to foster deeper empathy and reflection. Originally dependent on face-to-face interaction, narrative photography has been adapted to hybrid formats with digital tools, enhancing accessibility and cost-effectiveness. This chapter examines the origins, methodologies, technological advancements, and real-world applications of narrative photography, along with variations developed by the author. It also provides recommendations for assessing learning outcomes, evidence of effectiveness, and evaluations of student and faculty satisfaction.

2. Digital standard for the design of inclusive and effective online courses in higher education : an integrative literature reviewSabina Ličen, Mirko Prosen, 2025, independent scientific component part or a chapter in a monograph Abstract: 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.
