The Goals of the TASTE project are:
- the identification of TASTE usage scenario for
each kind of user (doctors, technicians and students), both for
training and VET (Vocational Education and Training) purposes then to
join community where it will be feasible to compare
preparations/diagnosis assessed by experts. These scenario will be
defined tailored to the characteristics of the end users and assessed
with real users;
- the realization of a TASTE system
which will combine a fully sustainable system of e-learning and
lifelong learning solutions with a microscopic images and slides
repository (a sort of “virtual microscope”) collected and continuously
updated in different languages;
- the set up of a TASTE virtual community
and network where students and experts in the field of histology,
cytology and anatomy-pathology could compare preparations and diagnosis
with a large number of already defined cases and in continuous
update.
TASTE will produce as results of the project:
- A report containing guidelines for refinement of users needs analysis and inputs for refinement of TASTE users scenarios
- Detailed scenarios for the different target groups in the form of use cases
- A “living” archive of histological and cytological images and slides
- An assessment Framework for pilot testing
- A plan for quality assurance of the project
- A report documenting the dissemination plan
- Organisation of 5 TASTE workshops in Sweden, Romania, Portugal, Belgium and Italy
- A report on the exploitation plan and activities
The aforementioned results, besides improving substantially the quality of learning in these fields, will also lead to a continuous increase in the quality of preparations (a very strong need, at present) and consequently to more accurate diagnosis.
