KOLEGEA

The KOLEGEA project develops a Web2.0-based system to facilitate knowledge exchange in networks of physicians integrating state-of-the-art knowledge visualisation with social media and mobile computing (tablets, smartphones, smart pens). KOLEGEA aims to support physicians in specialty training for general practitioners (GPs): Not being organized in coherent vocational training programs, they are often confronted with highly restricted access to occupational knowledge exchange and collaborative learning. KOLEGEA consists of a case study and medical guidelines based training concept supported by a community sharing and knowledge building Web2.0 platform, which facilitates collaborative learning with peers.
In the 1-year follow-up project KOLEGEA++, which started in July 2015, we are developing incentive models for GPs in training using gamification and reputation elements to further motivate user activity.
