Abstract

The "virtual mobility" project was created as part of a joint Canadian and European Commission funded project to explore cross‑cultural clinical curricular developments in the radiation sciences. The aim of the project was to facilitate student learning of the cross‑cultural differences in the delivery of healthcare within the disciplines of diagnostic radiography and radiotherapy. The project was delivered as case study group work, on‑line via the virtual learning environment (VLE) "Blackboard". Upon completion of the project, participants and staff facilitators were encouraged to complete an on‑line questionnaire, which was used to inform future improvements.
