We are an alliance of European teachers and researchers from 6 universities that aim to share innovative practices on teaching and construct digital tools to prepare OSCEs (Objective Structured Clinical Examinations). The Erasmus+ project, with acronym DOMINOS, focuses on implementing innovative training tools for healthcare students (medicine, pharmacy and dentistry) to better prepare them to take their OSCE.
In detail, the aims of the workshop will be:
- to present the delegates a way to create digital OSCE in the form of serious games, using the AI-driven software VTS;
- to develop the approach to create the scenario according to a common blueprint and the review process to ensure the stations would fit with national curricula;
- to present the LMS platform with the library created, in multiples formats to enable transferability, and that hosts the test sessions and tools for students and teachers for preparing OSCEs;
- to test the scenarios.
The registered participants will be registered in the Moodle platform and will be invited to fill a questionnaire in advance. They will also be asked to do so at the end of the experience.
Following an introduction to the Erasmus+ KA2 DOMINOS project, the session will be delivered through a presentation of the work approach taken within our European project DOMINOS not only by providing an overview of the project objectives but also the results of the pilot testing with the students. Time will be also dedicated to briefly describe the Serious Factory VTS editor and the opportunities offered by working in the Moodle environment. Enough time will be allowed to the participants to split in groups and test 2 scenarios on different dental specialties. A debriefing session will then allow a discussion and overall evaluation of the experience.

14:15 Summary / Close
By the end of the session, delegates will:
1. Have insight into the design and structure of different OSCE scenarios, ‘play’ these and provide feedback on the overall experience.
2. Be able to use this kind of digital OSCE experience and compare it with the tools (if any) currently available at their home institutions
3. Be able to discuss the common educational approaches and the future developments in dental educational using AI-driven digital tools.
