These centers—encompassing 3D printing\, digital modeling\, simulation technologies\, and other innovative tools—enable the integration of practical\, experimental\, and problem-based learning from the early stages of student training. \nAt the Medical University of Sofia\, the 3D Laboratory has become a successful example of in-house infrastructure that combines research potential with the aim of improving the quality of medical education. Our experience shows that having an internal center for 3D technologies significantly accelerates the development of educational models\, prototyping\, and support for clinical practice\, while also fostering interdisciplinary collaboration among students\, faculty\, and researchers. \nThis seminar examines the role of in-house technology laboratories in building the next generation of learning environments\, presents the accumulated experience of MU Sofia\, and outlines future development prospects\, including infrastructure expansion\, integration of new digital platforms\, and the creation of a sustainable model for innovation in medical education. \nTodor Bodganov\nChief Assistant Professor\nMedical University of Sofia\nORCID: 0000-0002-2808-4280\nEmail: tbogdanov@medfac.mu-sofia.bg\nLinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/todorbogdanov-b597a295\nInstagram: www.instagram.com/3dlab.mu/ \nStaff Academy workshops\nThe INGENIUM Alliance organises Staff Academy workshops to share\, transfer and showcase selected innovative pedagogical methodologies from the partner Universities.

In alignment with the WHO’s mhGAP-HIG (2)\, training in Psychological First Aid (PFA) constitutes a core component of effective humanitarian response and is guided by Hobfoll et al.\, (3) five principles: safety\, calming\, self- and community efficacy\, social connectedness\, and hope. Traditionally\, PFA training has relied on classroom based or instructor-led simulation that are resource-intensive and dependent on facilitator expertise\, leading to variability in learning outcomes (4 – 6) \nGenerative AI-based virtual patient (genAI-VP) systems address these limitations by providing safe\, repeatable\, and structured learning environments in which learners can practice communication\, decision-making\, and crisis management skills without risk to real individuals (7\,8). Grounded in Dewey’s philosophy (9\,10) and further developed through Kolb’s (11) experiential learning theory\, learners engage through four interconnected stages: concrete experience\, reflective observation\, abstract conceptualization\, and active experimentation. By centering the learner in realistic\, interactive simulations\, communication\, self-efficacy\, and psychomotor skills are enhanced (4 -6)\, offering an innovative student-centered educational approach that facilitates learners preparedness in responding to humanitarian crises. \nSophie Mårtensson\nPhD\, RN\, MSc\, Lecturer\nUniversity of Skövde\nORCID: 0000-0002-0262-2217\nEmail: sophie.martensson@his.se \nRajna Knez\nProfessor\, physician\nUniversity of Skövde\nORCID: 0000-0003-1278-4554\nEmail: rajna.knez@his.se \nCharlotte Hveem\nRegional Coordinator of Crisis Support\nVästra Götaland\nCoordinatior of Crisis Support\nCrisis Support Coordinator\nPreparedness and security\nSahlgrenska University Hospital\nEmail: charlotte.hveem@vgregion.se \nStaff Academy workshops\nThe INGENIUM Alliance organises Staff Academy workshops to share\, transfer and showcase selected innovative pedagogical methodologies from the partner Universities.

Grounded in research from positive psychology (Seligman)\, self-determination theory (Deci & Ryan)\, and psychological safety (Edmondson)\, the model is adaptable across disciplines and learner groups. \nThe approach emphasizes multidimensional teacher presence through visual and audio elements (e.g.\, Canva\, audio greetings in Moodle/Learn)\, fostering trust and modeling safe interaction. Learners share personal empowerment tools—images\, sounds\, or memories that evoke positive emotions—via platforms like Padlet. These are followed by appreciative peer feedback\, enhancing emotional engagement and relatedness. \nReflective tasks and feedback in Moodle / Learn forums further support strengths-based interaction and recognition. The model does not require real-time participation\, making it flexible and inclusive. While the teacher cannot learn on behalf of the student\, the model offers tools to activate and support learner engagement. It promotes autonomy\, competence\, and connection—and provides a scalable foundation for humanizing digital learning. \nTuulevi Aschan\nHealth and Wellbeing Education Specialist\nSouth-Eastern Finland University of Applied Sciences\nORCID: 0009-0009-0456-873X\nEmail: tuulevi.aschan@xamk.fi\nLinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/tuuleviaschan/ \nStamatios Papadakis: AI for All: Sustainable Creativity and No-Code App Design in Higher Education\nThis 1.5-hour interactive workshop blends short demonstrations\, collaborative design\, and guided reflection.

Specifically\, the teacher administers a course satisfaction questionnaire to students\, focused on several critical areas of teaching quality (Van Dijk et al.\, 2020)\, while simultaneously completing a similar self-assessment questionnaire. Upon completion of both questionnaires\, the Il Piccolo Ascolto platform provides the teacher (in real-time) with aggregate information on the distance (gap) between the students’ opinions and those of the teacher\, highlighting areas of teaching quality where a discrepancy of opinions\, a “relational gap” (Verna I.\, 2020)\, emerges. The aim is to trigger a process of reflection-on-action in the teacher\, guided by the “relational gap” and supported by a further reflective stage represented by an in-depth questionnaire on the critical issues identified. In particular\, the platform provides an additional moment of reflection-on-action which\, starting from the “relational gap\,” investigates potential problems from which the gap originates through a further questionnaire focused only on those areas where criticalities emerged. The goal is to facilitate and support the teacher in the process of improving teaching quality by listening to the needs that emerge within a specific teaching-learning context and doing so in itinere (ongoing) with respect to the development of educational processes. Although Student Evaluation of Teaching is widely used\, international literature often highlights a low correlation between teachers’ self-assessment and student judgment (Matthews\, 2025). Studies such as those by Wisniewski et al. (2021) confirm that teachers have “privileged access” to their own thoughts but not always to the behavioral signals they send\, leading to considerable divergences with students. Furthermore\, literature recognizes the existence of a widespread “perception problem” (Wisniewski et al.\, 2021) and a systematic lack of alignment between self-assessment and student judgment (Daumiller et al.\, 2022); in this sense\, Il Piccolo Ascolto can represent a contribution to overcoming this limitation. Ultimately\, the originality of Il Piccolo Ascolto lies in transforming the “relational gap” from a simple “datum” into a driver for reflection-on-action\, allowing for the overcoming of overestimation biases typical of teacher self-reports (Fitzgerald et al.\, 2020). \nREFERENCES\nVan Dijk\, Esther E.\, et al. “What makes an expert university teacher?
