The aim of the project was to develop a practical, digital learning programme for the application of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF). The idea behind ICF! was to create a multimedia, modular and competence-oriented self-learning concept that can be used in courses for educational and therapeutic degree programmes as part of blended learning. In a selectable module structure, the elements should guide students through flexible online phases of self-study. The focus is on authentic, participatory case presentations (people with health or participation impairments & relatives) with a concrete connection to their living environment. The aim is for students to acquire case-orientated knowledge and skills to establish routines for educational, social and therapeutic practice.
The modular structure of ICF! is designed to address different levels of knowledge: In transdisciplinary basic modules, basic knowledge of the ICF is taught using practical examples. In more in-depth advanced modules, practical professional skills for establishing relevant routines for counselling, diagnostics/needs assessment and help/support planning, including evaluation, are also to be acquired. Specific learning modules on various case studies focussing on needs assessment round off the programme.
