The Department of Nursing of the Cyprus University of Technology (CUT), together with the academic institutions Thomas More Kempen (Belgium), Medical University Sofia (Bulgaria), the IT services company Theofanis Alexandridis Kai Sia EE (Greece) and the Hellenic Pediatric Nursing Association (Greece), participates as a collaborating institution in the Erasmus+ research program "Extended Reality Learning Framework For Pediatric Nursing Students – PeDXR" with the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (Greece) as coordinator. 

This project aims to develop, implement and validate a learning framework that incorporates Extended Reality (XR) technologies, for pediatric nursing students in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), both nationally and internationally. The development of the Extended Reality Learning Framework (PeDXR Learning Framework) will offer a structured approach to organizing and delivering pediatric nursing education. By utilizing pioneering XR technologies, this framework will enhance educational practices and contribute to improving the quality of care provided.

The PeDXR learning framework will combine good practices and educational programs in pediatric nursing from Higher Educational Institutes (HEIs), with XR tools. It will integrate, comprehensive educational programs, learning objectives, teaching methods, assessments, and a dedicated Extended Reality Application to enhance the education of pediatric nursing students using XR technology.
