The project had several objectives: 1. To further develop cooperative network and biographical diagnostics through international cooperation in order to adapt them to current theoretical and scientific knowledge. 2. The further development of the network diagnostic software solution easyNWK (web-based, open source) and the first-time provision of the biographical diagnostic tool easyBiograph as a web application. These should be technically sound, user-friendly, mobile-friendly and enhanced with features that social work professionals consider particularly relevant. 3. The production of multimedia teaching and learning materials - including instructional videos, podcasts, specialist texts and manuals - that support blended learning concepts and can be used in both university teaching and continuing education. 4. The joint development and testing of innovative formats and designs for digital and transnational teaching, based on the exchange of information on existing teaching activities in the partner universities. 5. The integration of international perspectives and the active participation of students and professionals in product development to promote practical, participatory outcomes.
Professional development and innovation in social work often takes place under conditions of very limited resources. This also applies to concepts and instruments of social diagnostics, which are often developed by university lecturers and rareThe project had several objectives: 1. To further develop cooperative network and biographical diagnostics through international cooperatily with the involvement of practitioners/users. In the past, student projects at the UAS St. Pölten have developed digital programmes for the cooperative visualisation and analysis of egocentric networks and life courses. These were very well received in the German-speaking social work sector and were used in teaching at the partner universities. Users complained that these tools were technically and professionally outdated, that they were not suitable for use on mobile devices and that they could not be used with some target groups. The user manuals were also outdated. The partners were united by their professional interest in the further development of social diagnostic tools. There was also a strong interest in sharing teaching experiences and developing didactic designs for virtual teaching, as well as designing training courses for social diagnostics.
