BACKGROUND Advances in digital health and digital learning are transforming the lives of patients, health care providers, and health professional students. In the interdisciplinary field of communication sciences and disorders (CSD), digital uptake and incorporation of digital topics and technologies into clinical training programs has lagged behind other medical fields. There is a need to understand professional and student experiences, opinions, and needs regarding digital health and learning topics so that effective strategies for implementation can be optimized. OBJECTIVE This cross-sectional survey study aims to interdisciplinarily investigate professional and student knowledge, use, attitudes, and preferences toward digital health and learning in the German-speaking population. METHODS An open-ended, web-based survey was developed and conducted with professionals and students in CSD including phoniatricians and otolaryngologists, speech-language pathologists (<i>German: Logopäd*innen</i>), medical students, and speech-language pathology students. Differences in knowledge, use, attitudes, and preferences across profession, generation, and years of experience were analyzed. RESULTS A total of 170 participants completed the survey. Respondents demonstrated greater familiarity with digital learning as opposed to eHealth concepts. Significant differences were noted across profession (<i>P&lt;</i>.001), generation (<i>P=</i>.001), and years of experience (<i>P&lt;</i>.001), which demonstrated that students and younger participants were less familiar with digital health terminology. Professional (<i>P&lt;</i>.001) and generational differences were also found (<i>P=</i>.04) in knowledge of digital therapy tools, though no significant differences were found for digital learning tools. Participants primarily used computers, tablets, and mobile phones; non–eHealth-specific tools (eg, word processing and videoconferencing applications); and digital formats such as videos, web courses, and apps. Many indicated a desire for more interactive platforms, such as virtual reality. Significant differences were found across generations for positive views toward digitalization (<i>P&lt;</i>.001) and across profession for feelings of preparedness (<i>P=</i>.04). Interestingly, across profession (<i>P=</i>.03), generation (<i>P=</i>.006), and years of experience (<i>P=</i>.01), students and younger participants demonstrated greater support for medical certification. Commonly reported areas of concern included technical difficulties, quality and validity of digital materials, data privacy, and social presence. Respondents tended to prefer blended learning, a limited to moderate level of interactivity, and time and space–flexible learning environments (63/170, 37.1%), with a notable proportion still preferring traditional time and space–dependent learning (49/170, 28.8%). CONCLUSIONS This comprehensive investigation into the current state of CSD student and professional opinions and experiences has shown that incorporation of digital topics and skills into academic and professional development curricula will be crucial for ensuring that the field is prepared for the ever-digitalizing health care environment. Deeper empirical investigation into efficacy and acceptance of digital learning and practice strategies and systematic training and practical organizational supports must be planned to ensure adaptive education and practice.

Learning English

In her previous-related study the researcher discussed about the digital learning model aiming at educating Indonesian students and English language teaching and learning practitioners in increasing the listening and speaking skills in English (Wahyuni, 2017). Meanwhile in this research, the researcher focused on the students’ perception on the use of smartphone as an English learning media especially for Indonesian Secondary High School (SMA) students. This is the type of concurrent mix (combination) research whose qualitative method is more highly used than its quantitative method. Data collecting techniques in this research are survey study with Likert-scaled questionnaire, direct observation, and interview. The survey result then classified and ranked statistically to know the frequency level of the smartphone use in learning English as well as to encounter students’ perception on it.To present more comprehensive data and information, the research result then quantitatively illustrated in an appropriate chart or diagram, and qualitatively described in narrative form. The implication about the use of smart phone is presented as well to give more insightful view for the students or teachers about how to maximize the advantages of smart phone media in learning English.

Collaboration Project

This roundtable proposes to present and discuss a project about the e-book as a pedagogical resource. The project will run from Spring 2013 until December 2013 and is a collaboration project between Center for Educational Development (CED), Lund University, and Lund University Libraries (LUB). It will be part of a larger collaboration project involving the universities in Southern Sweden. New possibilities in the digital learning environments The importance of digital texts is growing. A rapidly increasing number of e-books are made available by publishers and the large majority of scientific journals are published in fulltext. There are many advantages with digital texts: They are immediately available independently of time and space, in computers and mobile devices They are searchable Created in a correct format they are available also for people with reading difficulties An e-book can be integrated with othjer meda, such as sound clips, video clips etc They are relatively easy to revise and update Many teachers at Lund University produce study material for their courses, such as course packs, tutorials, instructions and other types of texts. This material is distributed to the students in either print or digital format. The digital formats are mainly pdf-files and word-files. It is important to give the teachers access also to more advanced tools for producing course literature in digital form. Most interesting are tools making it possible to integrate other media (i.e. video and sound clips) with text. A toolbox for production of course material in digital form The project will explore the possibilities to facilitate the production of e-books at Lund University. It will consist of an inventory of the teachers' requirements and expectations, an inventory of the production process including pilot studies of e-book production and an inventory of the need for support and training for teachers producing e-books. It will result in a toolbox for production of e-materials and for the use of Creative Commons licenses. Roundtable In August the first part, the inventory of Lund University teachers' requirements and expectations will be finished. A survey study at Blekinge Technical University and a focus group study at Kristianstad University on the same issues will also be finished. The roundtable will discuss and problematize the findings. After a short presentation the participants will discuss in smaller groups, and in the end the group discussions will be summed up in plenum. The focus will be on university teachers' view and willingness to produce e-materials and the participants will be invited to share their experiences and reflections. The summing up will be documented and distributed to all participants.

A survey study examined the attitudes of interdisciplinary team members toward public school speech-language programs. Perceptions of clinicians' communication skills and of the clarity of team member roles were also explored. Relationships between educators' attitudes toward our services and various variables relating to professional interactions were investigated. A 64-item questionnaire was completed by 346 randomly selected respondents from a two-state area. Classroom teachers of grades kindergarten through 3, teachers of grades 4 through 6, elementary school principals, school psychologists, and learning disabilities teachers comprised five professional categories which were sampled randomly. Analysis of the results revealed that educators generally had positive attitudes toward our services; however, there was some confusion regarding team member roles and clinicians' ability to provide management suggestions. Implications for school clinicians were discussed.
