This section provides a structured overview of the expected outcomes of the UkraineDigiTrans project, divided into main objectives (what the project aims to change or improve) and specific intermediate results (what the project will achieve). These results are designed to meet institutional needs, address national policy gaps, and address broader issues affecting medical education in the regions affected by the crisis.

Project Objectives:

The UkraineDigiTrans project was designed to transform digital medical education. Its main objectives are as follows:

Enhance the digital pedagogical competence of medical educators:
The project aims to equip medical educators with the skills, tools and frameworks needed to design, implement and evaluate high-quality digital learning. Particular attention is paid to instructional design for online and hybrid environments, student engagement and formative assessment in a digital context.

Development of student-centered hybrid and micro-courses adapted to crisis conditions:
Recognizing the instability of war and post-crisis education systems, the project supports the creation of flexible and modular content that can be accessed remotely or used in blended formats. These courses will promote student autonomy, interactivity and continuity of learning.

Promote inclusive, ethical, and sustainable medical education systems: All activities are guided by the principles of inclusivity (ensuring access regardless of residence or origin), ethical use of digital technologies (privacy, well-being, transparency of AI), and system resilience (ability to maintain quality education in emergencies).

The objectives are interdependent and mutually reinforcing through comprehensive work packages, stakeholder engagement and cross-border collaboration.

Project outcomes:

The project will achieve a wide range of tangible outcomes in the areas of teaching, learning, institutional development and quality assurance. These outcomes will serve as operational mechanisms to achieve the broader project objectives:

Curricular innovations:

40 modified or newly created 3-credit courses designed for hybrid learning, aligned with national standards and piloted in real-world teaching settings.

20 micro-courses (5-15 hours each) focused on specific competencies in digital health, ethics or emergency response – optimized for mobile and asynchronous use.

Human capacity development:
16 master trainers trained in the training of trainers model, equipped with equipment to support continuous staff development in their home institutions.
80 university lecturers who will undergo intensive professional development programs and apply their new skills in the development and delivery of digital learning modules.

Pedagogical resources and institutional toolkits:
Each participating HEI will produce at least 8 pedagogical manuals or guides. These will cover topics such as course development, online assessment, student engagement and inclusive digital education.
A centralized repository will contain all resources and provide access to case studies, templates and sample curricula.

Pilot and accredited courses:
All developed courses will be piloted in four Ukrainian universities, evaluated by students and external reviewers and submitted for institutional or national accreditation.
The process includes consultation with stakeholders and adaptation to the specific needs of each institution.
These results are designed to be replicable and adaptable across Ukrainian HEIs, allowing them to be used beyond the immediate scope of the project.
