Online Numeracy Resource & Nursing

Lead Institution: University of the West of England

Project Outputs

  • An adapted on line DEWIS assessment system for nursing and midwifery students. Collaboratively mathematical and nursing and midwifery academics have developed and implemented numeracy questions that are appropriate for the student body. The difference of this on line assessment system to others is that it enables an individualised system allowing the student to self-evaluate, identify and rectify their own knowledge level.

  • An on-line decision making tree that is populated with patient case studies and applied numeracy skills. If students make errors in their calculations they are able to see the impact of their decision, for example, a patient collapsing or cardiac arrest. It is still hoped this will evolve into an avatar resource if increased funding becomes available to resource this work effectively
  • A new working relationship between the Nursing Department and the Mathematics Department at the University.
